Game devs should make a game about World War Two with the setting of the player being Nazis, Japanese or just not Americans.
Couple things (First Person Shooter, Not Developed in Poly Style or Indie [AAA Quality]). Now The thing is ever since the Early 2000s we got WW2 games but a lot don't hold up graphically enough to please you and they all usually are Americans which is so clichΓ© and the times we got Soviets it was one or two and they got casted away. Activision last time in 2017 made one and it had no Soviets and Axis Players playable and only Americans. I'm not saying we should have a game about exterminating Jews but it would be cool if someone could have a storyline for the Japanese or The Great Patriotic War ( War Between Germans and Soviets in World War Two ). Honestly I'd be so happy to see some battles in Moscow and in maybe Warsaw 1944 where the story is shown. Anyways that's just my opinion but it would shine if one of these two settings was to come out. I know Activision or SledgeHammer I honestly don't know but they're making a new COD and it's rumored to be around World War Two but I honestly doubt it will focus or have more than two Soviet campaigns and no axis campaigns. Sorry for rambling it would be cool tho.

During the War of 1812, did an American warship really let a smaller British warship escape because it claimed to be returning a dead general's effects to England?
In "The Commodore's Compliments," Canadian folk band Tanglefoot describes an incident during the War of 1812 in which an American brig, the Oneida, allowed an unnamed smaller British warship (presumably a schooner) and the sloop it was towing to go in peace because the towed sloop contained the effects of dead general Sir Isaac Brock, on their way back to England.
Unfortunately, I can find no other source online describing or even implying the existence of this remarkable encounter. Did such an encounter happen? And if not, how believable/realistic of an invention is it?
