I guess most of those 600,000 are chasing each other in circles in arcade mode, I had no idea it sold that many. I also had no idea Blazing Angles sold that well. Anyone who bought Blazing Angels should be ashamed.
I don't know why they chose 505 to publish, but about a year ago when I first heard about BOP, its wiki page said it was going to be published by Ubisoft (who made Blazing Angels and the even worse HAWX), and of course Ubisoft released HOE only a couple months after BOP was released. Maybe they were counting on Ubisoft for good post-release support, and when Ubisoft dumped them, they had to find another publisher. But it's hard to imagine finding a worse publisher than Ubisoft. They'll support games, but only when they are utter garbage in the first place.

A good diplomat always gives gifts to foreign leaders. Mussolini gave Britain the Mediterranean by squandering his fine navy, North Africa by ruining his army's morale (and giving Britain the Mediterranean), Sicily by making his own people hate him (and giving Britain North Africa and the Mediterranean), and Southern Italy by making his own people overthrow him (and giving Britain Sicily, North Africa and the Mediterranean).
The Allies owed a lot to Mussolini for sure. Maybe he was a British spy all along.
