    Q: How do you smack the Germans when they are busy hiding in their fjords?

    A: Build a Warspite; famous for going in after them.

    We cant do that. Smacking the French is so easy a caveman can do it.

    Those imperialist pigs, they're a major European power, yet they lost two fleets to a tiny Eastern country. The worst losses they inflicted were caused by mines, not warships.

    No, you Axis were off licking your wounds. You couldn't handle the Americans and British, (par for the course) and started in with the French (They're axis as far as I'm concerned) and the Soviets (started off Axis, then got backstabbed).

    As soon as you thought that Allied opposition left, the Axis reappears. Quite typical

    Yes and every dog has its day. Sam is an idiot unlike the germans and the Japanese can handle the Brits who did not even believe in naval air power. Just think english comes from the germanic language family. I don't think this is by accident do you.......

    The Germans sure showed those Brits at Narvik! And North Cape! and the list goes on and on. Rumors have it Admiral Raeder's nickname was He-Man, master of the fjords. As for Japanese, they MAY have been able to handle the british (we'll never know because the Brits left that alone for their upstart American allies) but they didnt have to because the USN spend most of the war curbstomping the IJN. That being said, at least the IJN came out to fight rather then the Germans you pretty much had to root them out of their holes.

    I bet the captains of those Italian battleships at Taranto, and the captain of the Bismarck who got kicked in the face by some old bi-planes wishes the British didn't believe in naval aviation!

    I hate to break it to you Allied 'captains' but that is Elmer Fudd not Yosemite Sam. If you are going to use external references, please make sure you use the right ones.
    As for how the Japanese handled the British, ask the Prince of Wales and Repulse. Nuff said!!

    Well with the Germany first strategy, its no wonder that the British didn't bother with slapping the Japanese down. Besides, they had the Americans to take care of that...I'm sure the Yamato, Kaga, or Hiei should offer fine testaments to allied efficiency.

    - overheard in an Allied bar -

    yo ho ho and a bottle of Root Beer!
    fifteen cans in an ice-cold chest,
    yo ho ho and a bottle of Root Beer!
    Drank and recycled, and same for the rest,
    yo ho ho and a bottle of Root Beer!

    The coke was drank with a two-foot straw,
    the pepsi poured down a gaping maw,
    and sprite was chugged by adoring fans,
    and there they lay, all empty cans!
    spending all day long in recycle bins,
    yo ho ho and a bottle of Root Beer!

    fifteen cans on the ice chest's list,
    yo ho ho and a bottle of Root Beer!
    not a drop left, and the rest gone whist,
    yo ho ho and a bottle of Root Beer!

    The IBC lay in a pool of foam,
    where the old can opener had hit home,
    and the seven-up, it was downed by a gnome,
    And there they lay, and the melted ice,
    Dripped all day long in the freezer device,
    without power it would not suffice,
    yo ho ho and a bottle of Root Beer!

    Just to clarify, I did not mean to call anyone stupid or offend anyone, if I did, I appologise. I just reread this thread after getting home tonight and realized it could be taken as being nasty and it wasn't my intention.

    Nice clarification post Jay.
    I read your earlier post, and although I didn't post anything about it. It reminded me of an un-attended briefcase at an airport. I was hoping it wouldn't blow up.
    Nice of you to claim it.
    Well done.

    Thanks, it was about 2 am, in Quebec, on a french machine and I can't read French and there was a bit of rum involved. It seemed funnier then but I wasn't able to convey the humour (from my head) into the post.
