Speaking of which, I remember when Sky News put a live camera feed in Baghdad during the Iraq war. That was scary. It was like Big brother meets war (vote which building you want to disappear  ).

To be fair, America hasn't 'won' a war in a long time because the rules of war has changed immensely over the past one or two centuries. It started when we stopped keeping the land we conquered, instead giving it back. That's the way I see it, anyway.

And yet still most of these WWII games make America out to be the only country involved in the war.
I have seen many documentaries and all the Allies deserve thier fair share, the British RAF was a major factor that hardly gets a mention, unless its the battle of britian which quite frankly the US wont be bothered about.
Yeah, that has always ****ed me off. The game that came closest to recognising the achievements of the RAF was Secret Weapons over Normandy...but even then the main character was some American volunteer who managed to save all the British pilots.

Heres a Hypothetical for you, the EU vs USA, what would that particular war be like, let's say a while after Galileo is completed and the German's have their supersonic torpedoes ready (I heard about these from a freind, apparenty they have air canisters that are released as bubbles just in front of it to reduce friction, they move faster than sound waves in water so a sub never sees them on sonar....).
Hmm, I'm sure it would be a standoff.
I think the Americans would launch an invasion on the EU due to their aggressive nature. The first stop, I presume, would be the United Kingdom, where the EU fleet (led by the Royal navy) would be waiting. The battle would basically entail superior numbers against superior training and snazzy technology (not that the yanks aren't well trained and armed with ferocious technology, I jsut think the british navy would be better in these areas). So that would be the American invasion pushed back, with the EU forces pretty much spent. After that one collosal battle, neither side would be able to recover for a long time.

Ry ry, you forgot to mention that God and Jebus are both on your side. Epic fail.

Britian may not have the largest military forces now, but there was a day..
Quoted from wiki.
The British Empire was the largest empire in history and for a time was the foremost global power. It was a product of the European age of discovery, which began with the maritime explorations of the 15th century, that sparked the era of the European colonial empires.
By 1921, the British Empire held sway over a population of about 458 million people, approximately one-quarter of the world's population. It covered about 36.6 million km¦ (14.2 million square miles), about a quarter of Earth's total land area. As a result, its legacy is widespread, in legal and governmental systems, economic practice, militarily, educational systems, sports (such as cricket, rugby and football), and in the global spread of the English language.
At the peak of its power, it was often said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire" because its span across the globe ensured that the sun was always shining on at least one of its numerous colonies or subject nations.
ahh the good old days..
Then we lost our way,allied ourselves with the French, began helping smaller nations and, as a result, grinded ourselves down fighting the Germans.
