To raise a thought inspired by a closed thread- how many of your campaigns get involved in big wars? Sure there's chinese war lords who skirmish, the Japanese in CFS and Aztecs in yucitan, probably weirdo's killing each other from the nile to the irrawaddy just as they have for millennia, but How many big wars? Most major cultures seem to have learned that it is incredibly costly in man power and resources. 1914 was the last time great powers went to war because they thought it was just an extension of Politics. Even at the depth of the Cold War the soviets backed away from the step of open war.
sure there's subversive stuff going on- James Bond, navy SeALs, Blackhawk Down but what does UCAS, CAS, France, UK etc do with armored divisions? Strategic bomber squadrons? |
