Ok, I got one bite on China vs ROK, so I'm expanding my horizons.
Germany vs Greece, 2016 summer or fall. A Greek Junta overthrows that goobermint and tells the EU to go pi55 up a rope. The Germans send a task force (kampfgruppen) to restore order and rescue the old PM and his cabinet. Battalion sized, so we would need 16 to 20k points. Leos are expensive. Random air, vis and length. All options on except fast arty. France would be OK instead of Germany.
If anyone wants to get wild, we can put UN units in as the politicians and make the mission to capture or kill them. IIRC, UN units surrender if an 'enemy' moves into the same hex. Although that might not be true anymore.
Should'nt it actually be Turkey instead? Given historical issues and perspectives of joining the EU or receiving the partnership for punishing Greece... lots of stuff could happen.
Maybe. Turkey has it's hands full with the Kurds and Daesh. The current Tyrant in Turky basically destroyed the military leadership of Turkey. He sees them as the main threat to his dictatorship. He might be right. Anyway, they will avoid a war against Greece.
Greece needs to start building nuclear weapons. Then the EU and USA will pay them to stop.
Poland vs Russia is not impossible. I expect Russia to move on the Baltic states by 2018. They are laying the groundwork right now. Pootie has a screw loose.

One???
We would still need all formula one box teams to get all his loose screws tight in under a year.
Well, that threw me. Here is a "pit box' in America;

One of those Bonnet / hood thangies, I guess.
I keep telling folks that the language spoken in America is NOT English. It has evolved too far. Some would say devolved, but that would be a political subject and verbotten.
$18K and they don't deliver....WANKS.

I forget the name of the move ('Two lane' or 'Blacktop' I think) One of the wanna be street racers asks how fast they can go. The old pro answers 'how much money you got'? Racing is not cheap. Going faster isn't either.
I ride a motorcycle at the age of 63. Not a Harly or a mobile collection of bags but a 600cc sports bike. Sorta. It is a FZ-6 Yamaha and after a couple of grand in after market parts it will power through 160mph.
I get my fix cheap. The bike cost me 2500 and with the mods I have about 5K in her. Lots of bikes are faster but they are all over 10 grand. A car that can keep me in sight on the street starts about 200,000$. So yes, the parts and tools are dear. I put on new foot controls this past winter. Ran me about 800$ after shipping. Needle bearings. I can go through the middle 4 gears without dropping RPM. That is important at 14,000 RPM.
That sounds like an epic bike there bro.
Impressive.

Nah. About average for current motorcycles. Lots of bikes that top 180 and several that will slide past 200.
I'm too old for 200 mph. Technology. My bike is old (2005) but I love her. Over 60 MPG and Insurance (full with 500 ded) ran me 85$US this year. Best of all she is as agile as a hungry weasel in a coop full of fat hens. If I knew how to put in a picture I would.
