We say goodbye to calicus and Risk_Averse. Phase 7 coming right up!


calicus was a sunny vote and Risk_Averse did not vote, so current total is 5-3 for fog.

There are those who say that Germany's exit from the war simplified the decision to use the bomb -- that use of such a terrible weapon was made easier by the fact that it was to be used against Asians rather than Europeans. It is unclear how true this allegation might be.
On the one hand, Allied air forces certainly weren't gentle with Germany. Over 3,000,000 tons of conventional bombs had been dropped on Europe, resulting in a million German casualties (1/4 of a million dead and 3/4 of a million injured) and probably another 300,000 casualties in German-occupied areas of other countries.
On the other hand, it is true that there were racist overtones to the war against Japan that weren't present in the against Germany. In both the U.S. and Canada, Japanese citizens were interned, while German and Italian citizens were assumed to be loyal unless proven otherwise.
According to the wikipedia article
During the war "annihilationist and exterminationalist rhetoric" was tolerated at all levels of U.S. society; according to the UK embassy in Washington the Americans regarded the Japanese as "a nameless mass of vermin".[90] Caricatures depicting Japanese as less than human, e.g. monkeys, were common.[90] A 1944 opinion poll that asked what should be done with Japan found that 13% of the U.S. public were in favor of the extermination of all Japanese: men, women, and children.[91][92]
In Australia, the entire British stockpile of poison gas leftover from WW I was brought in, to be used if Japanese forces successfully landed on Australian soil. This was "justified" because Japan had never signed the Geneva Conventions and was not protected by the ban on poison gas.
Phase 7
14 players in 2 groups will play 7-player games on the WWII Australia map. The first player eliminated in each game is out of the tournament. The remainder will go on to the next round.

Re: History of Nuclear War II [Phase 8]

Postby Dukasaur on Sun Aug 26, 2012 11:14 am

We bid farewell to cille and General Bax. We continue bombing in the fog.
Phase 8]On August 6th, 1945, the Enola Gay, piloted by Colonel Paul Tibbets, dropped the "Little Boy" uranium-based bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. This is the date authors generally refer to as "the start of the Atomic Age" although of course the beginning of an Age is a gradual process, as we have seen in this tournament and the previous one.
70% of Hiroshima was levelled by the blast, and 70,000 people were killed. More died afterward from radiation poisoning and radiation-related illnesses. The total death toll has been variously estimated between 90,000 and 200,000.
At the time, most people in the U.S. and other Allied nations were unequivocally in favour of of the atomic strike, although with the passage of time more and more people have come to question it.
Tibbets and the crew were for the most part proud of their role, although privately some had lingering doubts. Co-pilot Robert A. Lewis has become known for his soul-searching art.
Phase 8
12 players in 2 groups will play 6-player games on the Japan map. The first player eliminated in each game is out of the tournament. The remainder will go on to the next round.

Phase 8 games have been created and invitations sent out. Good luck, everyone!

Sounds good. It will have to wait until the 25th, though, as it's just too hard getting anything done on the laptop. All my files are at home, plus working with this tiny keyboard and without a mouse is really tricky.

Giannikas and Grandilof have left their radioactive imprint on a building in Hiroshima. The rest of us carry on.

Dukasaur wrote:Phase 9]On August 9th, the plutonium-based "Fat Man" bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. The original target had actually been the city of Kokura, but smoke and cloud obscured the target. After three attempts to approach Kokura and make a visual sighting, the B-29 continued on to the secondary target, Nagasaki. Fuel was running low and serious consideration was given to ditching the bomb in the sea and going home. The mission has been called the Mission That Almost Failed.
Phase 9
10 players in 2 groups will play 5-player games on the Japan map. The first player eliminated in each game is out of the tournament. The remainder will go on to the next round.

Four games have ended; five in progress.

SirSebstar and fuzzy316 are running neck-and-neck in the lead right now, but there's still plenty of time for some of the others to make a big move!

Top three at the moment:
SirSebstar 12 points
Fuzzy316 10
perchorin 5

Nobody else has more than 2. So depending on how the remaining games go, you could hold on. Especially if you somehow survive and score a couple more in Chicago.
