American navy's signature moves are actually pretty deadly, a swarm of air planes overwhelm the enemy battleships while the carrier is guard by supply ships / battleships. If you can bypass the American sea terroritory, you are pretty good.

Australian soldiers have always achieved successed out of all proportion to their numbers. It is just that these great victories were overlooked at the time and then later obscured by military historians.

Many forget the British also defeated the Japanese army under General William Slim. Although as usual, Slim's and Britains contribution to the U.S. war effort in the Pacific has been ignored in U.S. history books. For three years, the British halted the advance of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Burma that could have been otherwise redeployed against U.S. forces in New Guinea, the Philippines, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. If Britain had been defeated, the U.S. would have been overwhelemd.

@allerai And even amongst us Aussies, many forget that the first checks to the IJA's advance was given by us to them in the Malayan jungles, when we bloodied their noses before they outflanked us thru areas controlled by British & Indian troops. Of course, we really bloodied them on the Kokoda Track, & smashed their attack in the jungles of New Guinea!
