User blog comment:NovaSims/What WW2 have been like if Hitler adnt attacked Russia and Japan hadnt attacked America?/@comment-4206034-20120916150809

In my opinion, Japan could have been way more sensible in the Pacific. Why did they need a suprise attack? They didn't! Yamamoto realised that after Pearl Harbour. What they could have done was they could have invaded the other territories in the Pacific earlier, carefully avioding the Americans and continueing their campaigns in China and other islands. They didn't need to invade the Philippines, they could have invaded the Dutch East Indies and got their oil. Eventually, they would be able to establish their Dai-To-a.

Germany not inaving the Soviet Union => Soviet Union invading Germany. However, if the Soviets invaded (and Germany had managed to make peace with Britain), then I would predit the Soviets would be the ones getting the battering. Why? Because they are in German territory, and the Germans would know how to fight there. You might say why they could not do in in OTL - but in otl, by the time the Russians got to GGR, the Germans ran out of men. Here, they could play a defensive campaign, and eventually force the Soviets back if they go about it cleverly.

Thoughts?
