Football or open warfare?
(I'll probably have to explain the difference to English fans.

Well germany in 1942 already won against france in 1940, so the chances that 2003 france winning in this matchup(which would already be under the boot) are slim to none.Comment

This assumes the German army from 1942 is meeting the French army of 2001 on neutral territory. The German forces are commanded by Von Manstein. The French forces are commanded by some cool French general dude with a twirly mustache.http://monkspider.blogspot.com/Comment

Germany 1942 would probably have a tough time beating even Iraq 2003. The benefits of modern technology cannot be overemphasized.Comment

hmm, well damn.
The french have a couple of nukes now don't they, guess the french would win in that setup...Comment

OK... we all love to mock the French...
But get over it! What's a FW-190 supposed to do against a Mirage? And a Panzer 4 J against well... some kind of modern armor? Their only chance would be to paradrop someone and cut Paris from that rubber tile
I think allowing for the banana would have made this poll more... relevant.

Oh yeah, I forgot. One of the rules is no nukes.
The other rule is no Swedish mercenaries.http://monkspider.blogspot.com/Comment

Well, Iraq 2003 does have oil.

Hell no. I've seen postwar studies saying that the German Army circa '42 would be able to stomp Iraq. (Iraq had poor training, near total lack of radios, piss poor doctrine). The German Army, by contrast, had a thorough grasp of combined arms, radios in every tank, trained well.Originally posted by JimmyCracksCorn

And will still lose. Their tanks will eat it during the sandstorms, they mostly can't have air superiority, and RPGs work against German tanks.Originally posted by Lonestar

Why? You think the Iraqi tanks don't "eat it" during sand storms? You think the Wehrmacht doesn't have more tanks than Iraq has RPGs?Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.Comment
