Status: offline 		In thread on General Discussion I said that japanese don't play wargames and on this forum are more active finnish users than japanese ones. Though nobody argued with it, I might have got one of two wrong. Anyways this game (along with UV and WPO) should be interesting for japanese, becouse it let's player to play admiral Yamato and conquer the Pacific. So does anyone in here confess being japanese? And rest of you: do you know any japanese playing this game (or UV, or WPO, or other serious wargame)?

Anyway, I think there were some Japanese here.

Your question is quite weird though

Ah here, this is it, but it's about UV too.

One of the best games I ever played was me playing allies and a fellow from Germany playing axis (SPWAW IIRC). We had a blast - both with the actual game and the mega-smack talk that went with it.

I would like to PBEM with a Japanese player -- always gives new insight.

It would be interesting to know the numbers, it is often portrayed that the japanese "do not recognise" this period of their history.  It would provide some insight to the potential missed, and the overwhelming force which could be brought against it. (Without getting into the politics of it)

I'd be interested to see a graph of the nationalities we have on these forums. 50% Americans, 15% British, 20% Aussie, 5% NZ/other Commonwealth, 10% misc?

Well the only way to determine that is to create some kind of survey topic

Yep, especially since I am a transplanted Chicagoan who's pizza is second to none.
The folks out here think good pizza is from pizza hut.

My biological father's family immigrated from England sometime before 1750.

So I guess I'm an American with an English/American heritage.

Great-great grandfather Sanchez served the whole war in the Donalsonville Artillery of Louisiana (gee, how did his daughter meet that teacher?!).

Relos came to OZ in 1850, not convicts, but ships deserter. Went to the Gold Fields at Ballarat and came out a plumber. I suppose it was all those holes he dug.

Background on on side is Sciots via England, the other is Welsh/English.

Part of the rablle went to the US of A in about 1670ish, fought in 1776, 1812 and on bothe sides in the ACW.
