The flying Dutchman

Well the history of Holland is quite interesting but hasn't got a lot to do with this game but I have a question: How much ships does one cruiser represent? I once found a website where i read how much naval vessels Holland had, Í'll try to find it again. I like the idea of giving Holland and Belguim more ground troops, but I also realize that that would decrease the chance of a quick victory over The Low Countries. But you must also understand that Germany used a lot of bombers too, to take out both groundforces as aircraft etc. According to my grandfather, there was 1 huge wave of bombers which bombed Rotterdam. The population of Rotterdam thought it was on its way to England, but the bombers turned and went straight to...Rotterdam And someone also mentionned the small numbers of hexes, well why cant the creators make smaller but more hexes instead of the nine which are there now in SC1 ? But once again it is all a suggestion...and its not only that I say this because I live in The Netherlands, but I'd like the game to be more diverse instead of to follow History. I hope to hear from you guys soon!

Hello, my name is Justin and Í'm new on this forum, but I hope I can give my opinion of what I'd like to see in SC2. The first thing that I would find cool, is that The Netherlands (Holland) would be seperated from the rest of the benelux(Low countries)So as Belgium and perhaps Luxemburg. Secondly, In stead of just 1 corps, Holland would have had a much bigger army than in SC1. For instance, Holland had quite a good airforce which was located near Den Haag (The Hague) and some naval vessels (submarines, cruisers) Those ships fled to Britain after Holland was defeated. Also the government fled to London, but that isn't important for the game... About the airfleet: Holland had a very good fighter, the focker ???. I now that because my grandfather, who lived in Rotterdam, once saw 1 Dutch fighter take out 2 german fighters. (my grandfather also experienced the bombing of Rotterdam) In the years before the German invasion, Holland had built up its armed forces, and positioned it behind the 'waterlinie' (waterline) This was a defensive line which could have defended against the germans, but they had tanks which crushed trough the defensive lines of The Netherlands but also the rest of the BENELUX. So you could say that 1 corps was located along the borderline, 1 in perhaps Amsterdam, 1 airfleet in The Hague and a cruiser in the port of Rotterdam. This is all a suggestion, but historicly correct. I hope some other Dutch people can add some information.
