	Two spelling errors - Britain and Saipan and what about the invasions of Belgium and Netherlands due to the route the Germans took to get to France? Would it be worth while allowing the Operation name to be acceptable - without Operation ~. Should Harbour be allowed as well for the non-American English speakers.

	jsftrey:	May 18th, 2010 at 00:14 GMT		2 points
	Its Saipan not Sipan. Also missing Battle of Coral Sea.

	FelixtheBear:	May 18th, 2010 at 00:19 GMT		1 point
	I'd include the Battle of Dunkirk. A source would be nice.

	wolfeman:	Jun 1st, 2010 at 21:27 GMT		2 points
	Overall, good. I might include Monte Cassino.

	AutonomusPlebian:	Dec 27th, 2010 at 13:50 GMT		1 point
	Need to be consistent, for instance you accept Normandy but not Operation Overlord and Operation Market Garden but not Arnhem/Battle for Arnhem

	twcopal:	Dec 28th, 2010 at 02:02 GMT		1 point
	I excepted overlord for Normandy, but spelled it wrong on the quiz (I do not except operation overlord, thus it is not nessecary and overlord will do just fine). If i were to except anything i would except Battle of Arnhem, but then again, Operation Market Garden is not just the Battle of Arnhem. Three battles were part of Operation Market Garden, them being the Battle of Nijmegen, The battle of Eindhoven, and the battle of Arnhem (The most famous because of the British failure). You could say i "should" have included it, but i decided it was not neeeded.

	AutonomusPlebian:	Dec 28th, 2010 at 20:24 GMT		1 point
	The main goal of Market Garden was Arnhem; Nijmegen and Eindhoven were there to allow the ground troops to be able to advance to Arnhem. I think Arnhem is perfectly acceptable for Market Garden

	twcopal:	Dec 30th, 2010 at 11:51 GMT		0 points
	Another point of operations, every battle is conducted under an operation, I often use the battles most famous name. Oh, the main goal of Market garden was to prevent the germans from blowing up the bridges across the rhine.

	Since when is Poland considered Western Europe?

	twcopal:	Jan 10th, 2011 at 10:47 GMT		1 point
	Eastern Europe is what I used for the Soviet Union, if you notice all Eastern Europe degsignated battle took place on Soviet territory, i see you point but it could go either way.

	HuskerTan:	Jan 31st, 2011 at 23:48 GMT		1 point
	I might be mistaken but should Scilily be Sicily??

	wolfeman:	Mar 21st, 2011 at 18:04 GMT		1 point
	You should accept "Sicily" for "Invasion of Sicily."

	I did not accept sciliy because i originally had it as operation Husky

	twcopal:	Jul 15th, 2011 at 13:23 GMT		1 point
	Some battle have been added. However the names of certain operations will result in multiple correct answers.

	twcopal:	Jul 26th, 2011 at 12:02 GMT		1 point
	Alot of battles have been added. However the names of operations, campaigns, and larger areas may result in up to 7 correct answers. All battles must have at least 2000 causualties, with a few execptions, them being either extrememely famous battles, or airbattles.

	profxyz:	Oct 3rd, 2011 at 04:51 GMT		1 point
	In that case, should the Dieppe Raid be included? And I doubt the atomic bombings/Doolittle Raid can be considered a "battle" - and if so, maybe you should consider the numerous cases of strategic/terror bombing conducted by both the Axis and Allies.

	twcopal:	Oct 3rd, 2011 at 10:36 GMT		1 point
	I did add the Dieppe Raid, but to keep it at 100 battles, removed calais, however, calias is now accepted for dunkirk. The doolitte raid was of extreme significance so was the atomic bombing(did have over 2000 kia). I have certain bombings/air campaigns campaings on there such as #s 32, 61, 88, 90, and 99.
