Did the Japanese ever adapted countermeasures to the American utterly overwhelming "Zoom and Boom" tactics? If the Japanese did not, then why not? Surely they must have noticed something when all of their close comrades are getting mauled so obviously? And why did Genda still thought- late in...

How good were gladiators as fighters? Were they actually a competent superhumanlike fighting force on par with many other warrior cultures or just showmen who had almost pre-planned matches and did flashy swingy moves just to please the crowd? How would they compare to the Roman Army in...

I have been meaning to start this topic for a while, so what better occasion than that of the Indian Independence day today (Aug. 15th). I thought it is a good time to reflect on the freedom fighters that have been overshadowed by the Gandhi-Nehru-Patel and the other Congress party stalwarts...

What resistance group, any resistance group throughout history, did the most/best against their enemy occupiers? My vote goes to the VietCong. Being able to defeat the United States is no small task.
