very much in WW2.
But the USA/Britain and the Soviet Union dint like each other either.
Yet they were ableto work together to achieve the final victory.
Meanwhile - the Italians got in both sides ways.............
Germany and Japan were essentially involved in two different wars. What little cooperation that did exist was due to having common enemies in the US and GB. Hitler's disastrous decision to declare war against the US after learning of the Pearl Harbor attack provided a rationale for the US to devote 80% of its war effort to defeating Germany before turning its full attention to Japan.

Germany would have cleaned Japan's clock had the 2 nations fought.
Infinitely superior equipment and technology.
The Germans were just envious of Japan's Anime Comic books, and for getting the first Patent for Octoporn!
Both the Japanese and the Germans at that time were racists that believed their race was dominate. Nazis and the Japanese Imperialists were cut from the same cloth. They were diametrically opposed to anyone NOT like them, that is what these two powers HAD in common. It is interesting to speculate what would have happened if the Axis HAD won WWII. They would have eventually been torn apart and inevitably warred against each other. The UK and the US were on the same level, the USSR was not itself a racist regime, although a totalitarian one. The wild card in this was the Soviets.... Years after WWII the west almost went to war with them...What a hell of a wild card the Russians were to become.
I would like to mention the Japanese "Unit 731". The Japanese had been searching for biological weapons targeting race.. Just like the NAZIS were selecting to exterminate peoples because of their race.....The Japanese targeted Chinese and Europeans. They tested these weapons on Allied POW's of European ancestry. What if the Japanese had succeed in this? I keep that in mind every August when the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima rolls around. The Japanese, like the Germans, were targeting race, we targeted them out of self preservation. What a surprise ol' Hitler would have had, had the Japanese actually gained such a weapon!

The A-Bomb droppings are a poor example of an otherwise valid point for discussion. Never heard anything about the interceptors the Enola Gay had to fight through to get on target. Japan was nothing but a stubborn beat fighter with divided opinions on how to give up or if to give up coming from his corner by then.

Hmmmm. On land in reasonable terrain I agree 100%.
In naval games I do not like taking the European nations against the U.S. or Japan. Think of what Japan did to the U.K. in the Indian Ocean. Germany's naval strategy was decent for raiding but really their auxillaries accomplished as much as their capital ships. Plus Germany (and for good reason), never even had one carrier.
