Concerning: The Battle of Cherbourg

The Battle of Cherbourg = One of the important battles during the Allied invasion of Europe and the first stage in a helicopter-focused computer game named Rescue Raiders for the apple IIe. It is important to note immediately that though Pong can indeed be claimed to quintessentially represent the game of ping pong by containing no elements outside the actual game, helicopters did not exist during World War II. Therefore the first stage of Rescue Raiders cannot be said to be a reproduction, representation, or simulation of said important Battle. Although ancestors of Lau in Siam fought for the Axis in World War II, they were in no way involved with the fighting of the Battle of Cherbourg although Lau himself said that the battle was a shame because of the destructive nature of war. Enrique Esteban Valendez claimed insufficient knowledge of World War II to be able to provide comment due to the limited participation of Chihuahua, Mexico in the fighting, but he did suggest that even if it was unlikely that Mexican Chuhuahuas were present at the battle, their participation would have been limited to yipping and nipping and soldiers' ankles. No eggs were used in the combat.
