If Damien's point is not worth "all this," how come "all of you" keep going on and on about it?
He merely suggested, in a friendly tone, that "The Struggle Against Japan" is probably not good subtext for the title, "War in the Pacific." I agreed with him, again in a friendly way, and suggested from what I considered to be a humorously ironic standpoint, that any cure would probably be worse than the alleged disease.
So leave it alone, already (unless you're the types who really do enjoy picking scabs and scratching rashes).

Damien; you have a point but its not worth all of this! I think there are other far more important issues like, how many A/C sorties can Akagi or Enterprise support before rearming at a port under the new supply rules?
Well, I'll drop it. As for the sorties from Akagi or Enterprise, I'm not qualified to say and I'm feeling too lazy to look it up right now but I'm betting some strong opinions will fly when (if) that thread ever comes up.

I agree with Damien on this one, and raised the same argument so long ago that it might have been before I lost my virginity (okay, now I remember, that was just last week).
Why isn't "War in the Pacific" enough? Or "World War II in the Pacific"?
"The Struggle Against Japan," for my money, says that this game is for Allied fanboys who want to beat the Japs. I advocate deep-sixing it.
Of course, this would create a huge editing and graphics re-coding problem for the design team. Ho-hum. Wish they would have listened to me sooner...
(yeah, I know it ain't changing, but what else do I have to do with my time than make frivolous arguments? Play UV? Wait for UV-Med?)
The reason War in the Pacific is not enough is simple copyright law.
Here's a Question??

The name "Uncommon Valor" comes from a statement by Churchill referring to the U.S. Marines in the Pacific (it may have been Okinawa specifically IIRC) to the effect that, "Uncommon Valor was a common virtue."
If this is a quote by Churchill, why has it been recorded with American spelling???
(The British spell it 'Valour'!!)

Maybe since his mother was American he slipped into American spelling some time?[:D]

The "quote" isn't by Churchill. It refers to the Marines on Iwo Jima, and was made
by one of the American commanders

Interesting comment, considering that "The Struggle Against Japan" was cribbed straight off the box cover of Victory Games's "Pacific War."

I like that one. Short, deseciptive, and copywritable.
