Re: History Lessons (4.00 / 3)
Have you ever played the board game "Axis and Allies"? Me and my friends spent far too many nights drinking and playing that during our school years.

It actually realistically drives the point home after a while, that if you play the Axis powers, you have to go for the jugular. If you try to play defensively, the Allies will simply out-manufacture you. The longer a game dragged on (and we had games that lasted almost 24 hours), the greater the probability the Allies would prevail in the end.

I had the Pacific version of that game.  The Empire of Japan has it even tougher...either you win at the beginning, or you will lose, no matter how dumb the American and British players are.
