On the subject of War Crimes.
There are obvious ones, mass executions being a good example. Then it gets murky really fast, Area bombing isn't considered a war crime despite it being indescriminate it's also 'indirect'. I don't think Hirosima was a war crime either. It makes no difference what label you give to it, it was still a low point in history.
War crimes are something we invented so that we could execute some top brass and government types after we'd beaten them. However much the UN try to sanitise war by applying rules when it comes down to it it's all criminal. You just need to make sure you win because it's also highly subjective.
On the subject of Little Boy and Fat man.
If you want a generic A-bomb included in the game then fine, if you get off on dropping nukes then who am I to object to that?
But, if you want Little Boy and Fat man in the game then I say no way. They are too specific to be included in a form of entertainment.
