"Pat Flannery" wrote in message ... I always wanted to see them take on the Italians; that could be hilarious. They did, or rather, the Italians, sensing blood, declared war on June 10, 1940, and invaded the French Riveria. Another reason why the Italians were actually a detriment to the Axis in WWII. (By declaring war, they accomplished nothing but getting the British involved in North Africa, which sucked away German resources and gave the British practice in actually winning.) One could argue, given that the Germans had to bail them out in the Balkans, and ended up supplying the garrisons, that the Germans would have done better with the Italians neutral. Time to break out one of my more serious wargames on the subject and see if that is indeed the case... |

"Nicholas Fitzpatrick" wrote in message ... Some of us are open-minded. Having a mind like a seive is not exactly the same as being open minded. I'm shocked by how badly the occupation has been managed. One key problem is that it doesn't seem as if the government were prepared for success. Sorta like at the end of Finding Nemo, when his tank mates managed to get to the ocean...but hadn't figured out how to get out of the plastic bags afterwards. It's a problem we all share- success is a *journey*, but we seem to treat it like a *destination*. |

Cut to image of sunglassed Italian troops running about on the beach, pinching bathing-suit clad French girls on the rear; shrieks of terror and yells of "El Duce!" and "countach!" fill the air.
