This is sort of a tribute to CCCPball original poll asking which country would theoretically win a war (Britain, France and Germany duking it out). So I'm creating another one because YOLO and I'm bored. |

China wouldn't stand a chance. India would be attacking from the flank, while Japan attacks from the front. If we are talking 2015 though, China can probably nuke India and take care of them immediately. But back in WW2 days, India would probably win. Japan will have depleted resources from being on the front line vs. China so India can swoop in while they are weak.

India has nukes of their own though after Operation Smiling Buddha in the 70's, so they would be able to retaliate. And India will soon have more population than China, giving them the edge up with manpower. Not to mention, the Indian army is better equipped than the Chinese army I believe.

I say China. Japan, just like Britain, could be prevented to invade the Chinese mainland. I believe in the first stages of war, the Chinese-Indian front will be a stalemate. The hostile and the amount of local population will rout enemy forces that dare to assault eachother territory.
But the Chinese could supply and replace its troops faster and better in the battle of attrition against India. Don't forget that the Chinese capacity to produce military equipment is staggering.

China duh -_- they are becoming a super power and they (I think) have good nukes compared to the Indians (Indian nukes always explode before being tested) and since the Chinese have good army as well as manpower then you can expect the Chinese to be swiftly delivering reinforcements and winning both the fronts.

The Indians do have the Himalayas, however, which would give them a defense until they mobilize their reserves and fight back with their more advanced firepower. India buys arms from the U.S and Russia I believe (definetely U.S), which would give them more advanced tech than the Chinese.

This works both ways, as Himalaya will make logistics very difficult, making any Indian assault extremely vulnerable. India could buy arms from the US, but this makes India dependant to US. Also the distance between US and India makes the delivery of arms taking time. In the other side, Russia could supply China faster through the Trans Siberian railway, and delivered fast to Harbin, where it could distributed to the Chinese troops. |

True, very true. But China would probs go for Japan first, as they fricking hate Japan, giving the Indians time to start planning an offensive across the Himalayas. Plus, India probably has a more invigorated population to go to war with due to the Indian claim to Kashmir and some Himalayan areas, giving the population a reason to want to go to war. High jingoism=Troops that will fight to best of their ability.

I remember on the old forum at easytech, CCCPBall and I would often do these threads where we would take sides in an imaginary WWIII and duke it out between our respective sides. Maybe we could do that here too, who's with me?

Maybe we could do that here too, who's with me? I am. Besides, at university and when I was serving in the Bundeswehr, I sometimes play some war games with my students and colleagues which give some surprising results (Germans losing Fall Gelb, Germans winning from the Soviet-Union, Americans losing Operation, Overlord and Dragoon), Belgium against the Netherlands in WW2 , with the Belgian winning (!). |

Okay, I'll create a separate thread for this. What do you want the setting to be though? Do you want it to be an Asian war? Or Russia vs the west? Your decision. And don't be limited by these choices, any time period is fine for this.

Forgot to mention, but China will probably win. They buy high-quality military technology from the Russians (airplanes and such). Also, the Chinese have nuclear submarines and one of the biggest tank army (Russia has the most tanks) and the biggest infantry army for conventional warfare.
Russia will most probably help China with bombing strategic locations or sending military advisors or even hack (Russia is one big country of hackers) enemy computers.

We're presuming allies don't get involved. Trading is still intact, as with everything else. Just not military alliances.

And don't be limited by these choices, any time period is fine for this. Let's first do a test with Russia vs the West. Additional allies are possible. I'd like to know who you think is on which side. After a satisfactory result, we could make more threads. Maybe even USSR against PCR to fight out some ideological conflincts (Who is really communistic) |
