The Japanese were obviously successful in their attack on Pearl Harbor but failed in finding the US carriers. Yamamoto felt like a second wave of attacks would have slammed the door on the US but Nagumo felt it was prudent to return home with the entire fleet unharmed. Kimmel felt that Yamamato's plan of a second waive could have debilitated the US oil reserves which were above ground. Alas, the second wave never occurred and I'm pretty sure the US is about to kick some ass at midway.

Suleiman is leading the siege of Malta. Unlike the siege of Rhodes, Malta is a much more desolate island which makes siege warfare more difficult. Also, the local Maltese soldiers were bad ass. The Ottoman empire had been basically gaining territory for the past forty years and this was a big little W for the Christians. Finally. Excited to see how this turns out.
Barbarossa was Suleiman's right hand man. After he died the Christians started to gain a little ground. Basically ruled the Mediterranean until his death.
Charles the V gave way to Philip II and although Charles was kind of a G (expept for the inbreeding and weird freak face) it seems like Philip and his new world wealth might get the W. This just happens to be the same Philip that ended up doing the Tango with Elizabeth I and Drake.
