  1. The Italians had near 500,000 men in north and east Afrika. The British had 60,000 in Egypt.

    The British had Modern armor compared to the I-ties, and were motorized.

    Wavell and Oconner, attacked, out-flanked, and captured near 200,000 in a very daring

    attack that forced Germanys intervention. Those units would represent those superb British

    forces, and give you your own personal Beda Fomm.

    In Ethiopia it was quite the fight at Keren tilll the I-ties water supply was accidentally

    contaminated.......the mass surrender.

    If Der Fuhrer had sent six divisons to Afrika instead of two per OKW, you would be speaking

    with a different accient!

    very different accent.

  2. My favorite quote after the war is when Albert Speer was asked about the French Resistance he said "Frenchh Resistance??? WHAT French Resistance???" The Free French forces as the Axis waned became somewhat viable. How ever the French Colaborationist by a factor of ten to twenty to one out did any French Resistancemyth that was largely created after the war.

    With the said exceptions of the Maquee, and the French Communist.

  3. In the Great War, the U-boat war was much more accurately portreyed , than in SC Global warfare. The torpedo technology and aiming , and fire control was almost exactly the same at the start of and early phases of WWII. Only mid and late War did the very substancialy change. With the exception of The Cressy,Aboukir, and the Hague, U-Boat were truely more commerce raiders, and they sank merchants overwelmingly with their deck gun, not torpedoes. Pierrie De Le Arnauld who was Germany's greatest U-boat ace of the war almost exclusivly used his deck gun, not torpedoes!
