Sry for the lack of update, was kinda busy these days... Anyhows,Q41: After doing some background check, it would appear that the definition wouldn't completely apply to what my textbook says... I could have guessed that to, since the definition was kinda sloppy and somewhat short... But the answer was "grand strategy"Q43: radiusn correct! 3pt for your answer!Rules:

Q44: When facing opponents, who's odd's to outnumber you is big, there can be a simple way to decrease the impact of being outnumbered by the use of a simple, but effective means of architect. What is this architectural work I'm talking about? (easy)

[TheGimp]

You can bottleneck the enemy. Make the enemy go through a narrow passageway to get to you. This forces the greater number of enemies to come at you a few at a time. It can be a door, hallway, up stairs, etc.

[polopbob]

Uhm.. Well, the thing I'm refering to is an actual architectural work, such as a house or other things that can be build. It really easy actually.So neither is right, although TheGimp is close, just how can one achieve that...Q44: When facing opponents, who's odd's to outnumber you is big, there can be a simple way to decrease the impact of being outnumbered by the use of a simple, but effective means of architect.

Let's see, for the 44th question, I would say something similar in ancient times or some type of bunker that shields the allies from suffering from being hit. For instances, during World War 1, the trench warfare became more prominent after a few battles.

[TheGimp]

q44: Is it an intersection(make them split up). Although, any of the things i mentioned in my first answer(door, stairs, hallway, archway) would fit your description of an actual architectural work that's a simple way to decrease the impact of being outnumbered.edit: is it a wall?

Edited by TheGimp, 13 April 2011 - 08:03 AM.

[polopbob]

Q44: well, the original answer which I had in mind is a wall. But since that answer can't, atleast not directly enough, be found throughout the question, points will be awarded to any achitectural work, which also fufills the same function. TheGimp 2pt, radiusn and rocky19 both 1pt, can't really count terrain advantage as a architectural work. But tower and bunker are fine.Rules:

Q45: Which Asian war, can be directed as one of the causes for the decolonisation acts in Asia after WW2? (medium)

Edited by polopbob, 18 April 2011 - 09:14 PM.

[polopbob]

q45:radiusn, it's true what you say, but that's not quite the war I had in mind. WW2 gave the colonies a chance to decolonize themselves, but the influence happened before WW2, but it does involve Japan.so:Q45: Which Asian war, can be directed as one of the causes for the decolonisation acts in Asia after WW2? (medium) +1hint: It is a war fought by Japan, and is prior to WW2

[Darky05]

Booo darkpoet got it before me... but:Q45: It would be the second Sino-Japanese War between Japan and a heavily supported China. I think it was Germany, USA and USSR that supported China against Japan. The war started in 1937 and it eventually clipped into WW2 because it didn't end until the United States beat out Japan in the Pacific in 1945.Edit: Woops forgot to add the actual Q number to my answer. >.>

q45:sry both incorrect, and honestly, I don't really see how this helped in the decolonization proces.Q45: Which Asian war, can be directed as one of the causes for the decolonization acts in Asia after WW2? (medium) +2hint: It is a war fought by Japan, and is prior to WW2. The outcome of the war is Japan as the victorious one, later inspiring other Asian colonies, forJapans victory against ... peopleQ46: Where does the term: "assault rifle" comes from? (easy)

[rocky19]

q45: meh, I'll say it will have to do with the Russio-Japanese war. They completely wiped the floor of the Russia army.q46: ... sorry, i have no idea.
