Which WW2 army would have suited you best? Interesting quiz.

Post by brian_05 »

Yes, yes, its based upon biased, unfounded assumptions (I didn't design it), but its interesting. Its 36 questions.

The conclusion surprised me.

Mine came down to a tiebreaker between the British, Italian, and the Finnish armies. Tie breaker put me as British.

I tried to 'think German' with it resulting in 100% Polish Army, 88% German...and only 50% United States.

Hi Brian,

I played it straight and came out British and Commonwealth (which I am) at 100%. Like you, I also appear to be something of a closet Finn at 88%!

Cheers,

Sid.

Great. I had no preconceptions of the Finns. Seems they fought for righteousness and like to blow up tanks with infantry. :up:

Your army is Poland's army. Your tenacity will form a concept in the history of your nation and you're also ready to continue fighting even if your country is occupied by the enemy. Other nations that are included in this category are Greece, Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands.

I expected to be close to it, but not THAT close :shock: :!:

Poland - 100%
Finland - 63%
France, Free French and the Resistance - 56%
Germany- 56%
British and the Commonwealth - 50%
United States - 50%
Soviet Union - 38%
Japan - 38%
Italy - 31%

Well...at least my own country's army appears in the same category.

No more Waffen SS for me :(

Nah, I'll settle for losing a war and then joining the resistance anytime. Much more "fun". 8)

Well... apparently I would have fitted in with the Anglo-Saxons with a result of British and the Commonwealth at 88% and the United States at 75%... :? I have to admit that in real life and from a soldiering point of view, I could have lived with that choice! :D

Then came Italy at 69%... :shock:

It must be the food and wine! :beer:


Italian-American regards, :wink:

Oh, I almost forgot... Germany came in at 31%... @{

My Tiebreaker question was to select from three questions, which was most important. This was to decide between British, Italian, and Finnish.

As I recall, it re-asked the questions about:

1. Whether precise, controlled shooting was preferrable to high speed firing.
2. Whether an snappy uniform was very important.
3, The question about Infantry and its effectiveness against Tanks.

I think I selected accurate fire vs high volume, that must indicate British.
My guess is the nifty uniform was an Italian thing.
Thus, Finland must have something to do with the infantry fighting tanks.

The Quiz

Post by Fallschirmjager ! »

It is an Interesting quiz Brain but I am not sure how accurate it is.

The Saving Private Ryan question seems a bit odd to me.

Any way:

Poland - 94%
Finland - 88%

I have never even been to Poland :wink:

True. Makes you wonder why the USA Army seems to often score very lowly. It does seem to associate high-minded traits with a few particular countries. I have purpously forced it into a few ties to see which questions it uses to resolve the tie. Its then easy to see which question leads to which country. But that also seems to take the fun out of it.

The test itself seems to have been designed by a Finnish War Game developer.
