Rather ammusing, thursday night c4, Hendrick and I played Axis and Allies. The first time we played in a long time. There was this amusing conflict over india. Hendrick playing Japan invaded c4 playing Great Britian. The conlficy went on an on for 4 hours niether one of them holding india for more than 2 turns. Then China got into the fight and britain brought more navy and air force in to aid india. It was very funny.
Me playing germany is getting presured to the west from russia whom Ive almost trounced but they are slowly making a come back as now I have to spend my money and units to defend from the impending invasion from USA and Great Britain whom had plenty of time to build up a huge transport and navy, while my navy was being dropped by Britain and US air force.
Anyways, This fight over india though amusing was frustrating to me. So I ribbed hendrick saying he cant even hold a 3rd world country! He replied Realistically Japan never captured India! I though it was funny and we were both joking about it, we all had a laugh.
So now im on Wikapedia and I found this:
HAHAHAHAH! Matt or anyone that sees hendrick tell him he to read this! This is all in good fun. We should play more axis and allies!

Provisional Government of Free India
Provisional Government of Free India
The Provisional Government of Free India was a shadow government led by Subhas Chandra Bose. It operated only in those parts of India which came under Japanese control. Bose was an Indian nationalist who did not believe in Gandhi's peaceful methods for achieving independence. Several key factors were vital in Bose's rise to power. The first was that even though India was a colony its army was largely autonomous. The second factor was that with Britain at war with Germany, an uprising could not be put down as easily as in years prior. The third and most important factor was the advance of the Japanese Empire through Asia. The Japanese Empire had earlier established Manchukuo (Manchuria) as independent in 1932 and later Indonesia and Vietnam independent without the approval of the latter two's European colonial masters.
Bose led several units in mutiny against the British government and had come into alliance with the invading Japanese Empire to India's east. Bose and A.M.Sahay, another local leader, received ideological support from Mitsuru Toyama, chief of the Black Dragon Society along with Japanese Army advisers. Other Indian thinkers in favour of the Axis cause were Asit Krishna Mukherji, a friend of Bose and husband of Savitri Devi Mukherji, one of the women thinkers in support of the German cause, and the Pandit Rajwade of thingya. Bose was helped by Rash Behari Bose, founder of the Indian Independence League in Japan. Bose declared India's independence on October 21, 1943.
With its provisional capital at Port Blair on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands after they fell to the Japanese, the state would last two more years until August 18, 1945 when it officially became defunct. In its existence it would receive recognition from nine governments: Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, Italy, Independent State of Croatia, the Wang Jingwei Government in Japan-occupied parts of China, Thailand, Burma (under Ba Maw), Manchukuo, and the Philippines under de facto (and later de jure) president José Laurel.
