Canada Vs. Australia. South Korea Vs. Japan. Who will win these two scenarios?

No one has any outside support i.e American help. and can use only their own resources against each other.
 
With Canada vs Australia, it entirely depends on who has the home ice advantage. Canadians have experience fighting in a desert environment. Australians have no experience fighting in a winter climate. Canada could also just blast some movies and games Australia has banned to offend them to death.

South Korea vs Japan, my money is on SK. Their military has to deal with a very hostile neighbour and is thus better equipped, manned, and trained.
 
Canadians have experience fighting in a desert environment. Australians have no experience fighting in a winter climate.

They do get snow in the mountains and have plenty of places for ski tourism so I don't see why that couldn't happen.

Last I checked Canada only has one true hot desert so it would be about the same for both conditions.

But like you said it would be home advantage and the time of year as summer would be warm enough for Australians in Canada and winter warm enough for Canada.

As for the other SK would zerg rush japan.

Ultimately, with a population of 10 million more people and with arms sales figures that are 20x that of Australia's (meaning that the infrastructure to dedicate to all-out war is already there), I would have to think that Canada would be the ultimate victor.

They get snow at the tops of mountains sure, but they don't have winter. Russia messed up a lot of armies over the years just by retreating into Russia during the winter.

I think the desert experience for Canadians refers to troops being in Afghanistan.

What I want to know is who would win between Canada and Australia if Aussie rules football were played on ice with skates. :colbert:
 
Canada could draft the sheep and make them a fighting force with special skills like entertaining the troops with their behinds.

The thing is they have winter they can easily train in just like canada has one desert to train in but I suppose they can be both only part time depending in the year.

I say Australia beats Canada, because they actually have a navy and could shut down a Canadian invasion and blockade Canada...which gets most of its trade from the US via land. I don't think either nation could mount a successful invasion of the other.

And I'd say Japan beats South Korea. Japan's "defense force" is one of the largest militaries in the world, and they have a large air force. Also, South Korea's primary threat is land based, while Japan has to worry about the sea or air, so Japan should have the stronger air force and navy imo.

You have to remember that Japan's military is not all that still because of the terms at the end of WW2 so they mainly focused on defensive and have little offensive power compared to what you would expect.

Also the defense force is not even close to what SK has as last I checked SK has almost 3 times the number then what the defense force is in active service alone.

I was thinking of the blockade angle, but how do you blockade a country the size of a continent? The Axis powers couldn't stop ships from getting to tiny Britain. Technology has come a long way, but the physical realities still apply.

Also, I don't think the Australian navy is actually bigger than the Canadian one. Better at amphibious landings for obvious reasons but otherwise of comparable size and makeup.

Would blockade even matter if outside help is not allowed in this situation?

Also it seems the Australia has about double the size of personal in service and almost twice the number of warships plus they have working submarines as it appears Canada's are not working currently.

True. And now that I think about it, why would a blockade be useful even if outside help was allowed? It's not like Canada needs to import all that much via ship anyways if it was really forced to go it alone...
 
Australia have a decent little military. Quite well rounded. Their budget is larger than Canada's too I believe.

New Zealand would lay waste to both of them though.
 
economically or militarily?


Militarily the Koreans would win because of starcraft

i'll see your Starcraft and raise you Gundam

If we're discussing Military Invasion:

1) Canada v Australia is a stalemate. Neither has the capability to land a large enough Force to take the other over, nevermind keep a Supply Line for that Force.

2) Japan v South Korea probably favours South Korea, mainly due, I'm thinking, that South Korea is more prepared due to their never ending drama with North Korea.

Economically, that depends:

1) Does that mean no Trade with any outside Nation? If so, Canada beats them all due to more extensive Natural Resources, especially Oil.

2) With outside Trade, Canada beats Australia. Japan beats South Korea, although this could be closer.
 
Doesn't Canada have a much larger air force than Australia?

edit: not exactly... australia has about 20 more f18's (and i think more modern f18s) but canada has significantly more support craft.
