1. What is this tactic? 2. What nation employed this tactic? 3. Where was this tactic first used? 1. Deep battle comes to my mind, but it could also represent Blitzkrieg. 2. The Soviet Union if it is the former and Nazi Germany if it is the latter. 3. Deep battle was invented before WW2, but I'm not sure where it was first used. Blitzkrieg was first used - in a way that could be called Blitzkrieg - in the Polish Offensive. |

Since this is also the discussion thread, I'll ask a question. Who do ypu think is the best tactician in history? I already have a few obvious and less obvious candidates, but what do others think?

Best tactician, with no mind to strategy? I would go with Alexander, followed by Hannibal, followed by Caesar. |

1. What is the name of a plane fight involving more than a few aircraft? I’ll take more than one answer. 2. What was the name of the British Air Force during WW2? 3. What were Japanese suicide bombers called? 1. A dogfight 2. The Royal Air Force 3. Kamikaze Pilots This quiz was easier than expected. I expected questions like, "Where was the 12th Motor Rifles Division in January 1943?" Answer being, "That division did not exist then." |
