Damn, you live close to me! (About 34 miles but still) a fellow soldier from the War Crew close to the General's home.

Ya but traffic is a killer. I think that their should be "L.A. miles", like "Dog Years", just multiply regular miles by two, and you get L.A. miles.

Too late, I had already tagged it...sorry (I'm in southern california, in La Canada. Look for Burbank, then Pasadena, then south pasadena, then go north. Or look for burbank then look for glendale, then look north.)

Heh - find me in the mass of people (or mob) around New York/Baltimore/Washington D.C./Boston... etc. area...

Resident of Washington D.C. (opposite area from you guys) - put down the War Crew stuff too

And how'd I lose so much ground? I went away from my computer to watch a movie, and suddenly Redglare1's staring up my back, with 4 points! I knew that stuff too! *cries*

Some crappy Western that was on TV... I suggested one of the following, but my family wouldn't listen:

Gladiator (completly historicalwise inaccurate, but it's a good movie)
The Desert Fox
The Longest Day
Band of Brothers

Next Question:

What war fought from 431 BC - 404 BC was a battle of major powers in Ancient times, fighting for not only the Delian Leauge, but in a mis-match of armies, one side having the superiour land power, while the other having the naval superiority?

Note: I did not even name the region to intentionally confuse people... sorry!

NEXT QUESTION: Why didn't Japan invade the Soviet Union in WW II?

Now your getting into hypothetical questions here.

Why should they? Japan had nothing to gain from vast amounts of tundra anyhow - although Germany had things to gain from cities like Moscow... etc.

They were already on a full fronted battle between the US, China, Britian, Dutch... etc. - all vs. Japan.

Why should they add another enemy to the list? They should deal with things one at a time - they did it methodically and used smarts it seems to.

Was that good?

True, but note the after - by then, they had pretty much the majority of their opponents defeated, and by that point, America was wiring for X-Day and the Atomic Bomb (X-Day was the planned invasion of Japan that never happened)

The Americans actually planned to invade Japan? LOL
But why didn't they execute emperor Hirohito for his war crimes?

If they invaded Hirohito for war crimes, imagine the rebellion.

Japan always had Emporers - you kill the Emperor, the people would form some sort of a "rebel group"

But, this is where the US got smart.

They put Hirohito on the radio, and made him admit he wasn't some sort of God-like figure, he was a normal human being. This completly reversed it - they still respected him, but it would kill any "rebel group" thing.

And why should they kill him? It was his main general that had control of the government anyhow.

At 10/1/05 11:38 PM, marchingtyrants wrote: what? HE and his pawns killed and raped and looted most of Asia!!

No wonder all the countries got invaded by Japan are all suspicious of Japan

Nope - it's his General and his General's Pawns that took over the government in the first place - I don't blame Hirohito for a cent.

Correct, the 'Immelmann turn' was a half-loop followed by a half-roll. Max Immelmann was killed in action in 1916.

You now have 12 points.

NEXT QUESTION:

In Black Hawk Down, what was the full name of the pilot of the first downed Black Hawk?

Ok, as of right now I will give out questions too like seventy-one, but i will still my 2 points. Now to promote some soldiers, since we did have any promotion since the 12th or 11th page.

brandon_ross to the rank of Colonel.
seventy-one to the rank of Lieutenant General.
Nomander to the rank of General.

Plus here is a rule for officers (officers are soldiers that have the rank of Major and above): Every officer (expect Lieutenant General, and General) will be promoted every 5 pages of this crew, so don't ask to be promoted to the next rank if you are an officer. Same goes for every other ranks. Don't ask yourself to be promoted only if someone else tells me to promote the person he choses then I'll see.

Here is the ranks:
Ranks (This will update a lot of times):
Supreme Commander: GeneralMBison (founder)
General: redglare1, ChurroNG, Nomader
Lieutenant General: seventy-one
