In other words for the US Dec. 7th would be a highlight, VJ Day, VE Day, June 6th, Sov vs Fin, Ger vs Pol, etc.. Anyone know where I could find a cheat sheet? ------------------ Good hunting, Pack Rat

So, you like the Minors too, eh?? I would be interested in PBEM in this genre, hopefully my server would co-operate this time! Last week couldn't receive attachments, so a PBEM with a fellow in Australia was a bust, was I pissed!! If you like, mail me either a scenario ready to go, or ideas for a generated, or whatever, should be kinda smaller, as I'm re-doing alot of icons to coincide with the release of the oob's, this is keeping me really busy!! Thanks!! ------------------ Mike Amos Meine Ehre Heisst Treue

Fellows, Brazil entered in 1943, in 1944 the 1st Infantry Division of the Brazilian expeditionary force, attached to the Vth American Army saw action into the Pó river valley, Brazil sent to Italy a fighter-bomber squadron too. Senta à Pua!!

Just post your question, and in a few hours someone from Spain will reply! People on other game forums I follow are mostly from the USA, Canada, or the UK, with a smattering of people from Europe, Australia, and NZ. I think I'm gonna like it here!

All right, I will! Didn't the Brazilian FB squadron fly P-47 Thunderbolts? I recall seeing a photo of a Jug in Brazilian markings.

This is a very importent point Great Britain is made up of four very different nations. The english, scotish, welsh and northern irish. It may seem a petty point to those who are not familier with our national make up, but its more then an important point for us. Calling a Scot English would have the same effect as accusing a Canadian of being an American, actually, the out come might be worse (grins)

Status: offline 		I don't know the status of whether you count a lot of the east asian countries as countries for the purposes of this question. But there seem to be a couple missing here. I know that many of them were still parts of various commonwealths/empires/whatever at the time. I guess these fit in with the question about the Phillipines.

A minor note, but Korea was Japanese colony since early 1900's but they fought a guerrila warfare up in the mountaineous north Korea until end of the war. Guess who the leader was? The late North Korea's dictator Kim Il Sung...

Basque units in the Free French Army often fought under the Euskadi flag. But what flag did Spanish Republican exiles fight under. troopie ------------------ Pamwe Chete

What type of missions did they primarily fly? Ground support or escort?
