    Alright even though I’m quite patriotic myself I hsve to be neutral here. I’m from the good Ol Red Whire n Blue myself but I have to say that wars arn’t won by a sinlge country (that is unless only two or less are involved). Britain, France, and Russia held of the central powers until America, Italy, and other nations could push the Germans over the edge. However I am more learned in WWII and I must say the turning point was when America and Russia entered. Otherwise Britain would have been destroyed along with all her Dominions.

    Of all the people to push the Central powers over the edge, Italy? All they did was stall Austria-Hungary, but with the state of Austria-Hungary, they weren’t helping the allies much. Italian military history has been mostly irrelevant since the Roman era, and Italians today aren’t really Romans anyways. In world war II they more or less accomplished nothing; their soldiers were not very motivated and the Germans were more relevant in the fighting in North Africa and Italy itself.


  • I’m not talking about just Italy. Do you think America could win a war today if all countries went against it even though our military is superior? The point is that the Central Powers lost because everyone got fed up with them and decided to join the fight. The main ally to aid Britain and France was the US however.

    I don’t know what the Aussies accomplished…. but

    Curie, leader of the Canadian Forces, at the DISGRACE of the British forces, was going to be made fully in-charge of Commonwealth forces if the war had continued another year.

    Canadians developed the concept of the Rolling Barrage, thus taking Vimy Ridge in a single day - a position held for YEARS against British and French attacks.  This tactic became a major stepping stone in turning the war into the Allies favour.

    Canada went into WWI - thanks to many individual donors, with more Machine Guns, and Vehicles than the United Kingdom.

    A Canadian shot down the Red Baron.

    I have to say though, that if we all didn’t stand together, we all would have lost, alone.

    It’s good to see ANZAC represented in the game finally…  I hope Canada is next.


  • Gar theres a pretty cool house rule that make a nation called “Commonwealth” that makes bothe Canada and ANZAC. You should check it out.


  • As a Canadian myself I have great pride in our WWI and WWII efforts however one single countries efforts in any of these wars pales in comparison to the total effort by all countries.  If it wasn’t for everyones combined efforts we would be living in a totally different world right now. Everyone made needed sacrifices to win.


  • Yes exactly. Every nation contributed. Otherwise we’d all have a swastika for a flag and would be saying “Hielf Hitler!”

    No, everyone would be saying “Heil Hitler”.  If you said “Heilf Hitler”, someone would report you to the Gestapo and you would be taken in for questioning about your “antisocial” remarks regarding the Fuhrer!


  • Hope evreyone had a good ANZAC day yesterday !
