Deployment Limits
Roosevelt45 replied to With Clusters's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
I agree with Blashy, If I had my way, nothing except the concept and the beginning of the game would have anything to do with what really happened during WW2. Meaning that when you start a scenario everything is historicaly correct(except if you have edited it with the editor) but from that moment on I can declare war, make peace, move troops,sack commanders,promote commanders,retreat,attack,... in short everything I want to do(excuse me if I sound a bit dicatorish). BUT(another but) I would also have to take the responsibilities for my actions. e.g.: if I let the Fins be slaughtered after they joined me, a lot of countries would be less inclined to join the axis like they have. the same for the allies, if I were to order the full evacuation of , say Yugoslavia, right after they joined me(I don't know how I would do that since they have no port,but anyway..), A lot of minors would think that the English are only interested in them for the troops they can provide and not in their economy or people. As for countries that are declared war on by the axis, it would simply make no sense for the allies to emmediately evacuate because then it would be a total victory for the germans without even a loss of material. -
If my memory serves me right(can you say that in english?)these volunteers were mostly individuals and were absorbed by the English army.I think that in SC1 all volunteers and evacuated troops from countries are represented by the 'free french', which would be about correct in numbers but not in timing since you get these 'free' troops in 1939 while most of them only arrived later on. As for the German volunteers, they're another matter. A lot of collaborators were organised into corpses by the Germans. An example from my own country(Belgium) is that a corps of collaborators called 'het Vlaamse legioen' was recruited by the SS and sent to fight at the eastern front.(hell, who wasn't sent to fight at the eastern front in those days?) I found a site about it but unfortunately it is entirely in dutch. The Flemish Legion.

The Winter War
Roosevelt45 replied to Fubarno's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Yes, it has been said before. except for the allies-USSR war part, which I think is very unlikely because the UK would have never declared war to Russia knowing that Germany was war-ready. At the most there would have been a conflict in Finland but certainly not a full-scale war. -

I agree with your point about the French troops but that's when you're talking about a major country. I don't see why Finnish troops couldn't be fighting in N-africa. On one side I would't like the fact that I'm not able to move my troops whereever I want to move them but on the other side I'm for more independance for minor countries as long as they put all of their potential in the allied cause. -

Full out
Roosevelt45 replied to afrika31's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Unfortunately, this is not the SC, you're talking of. You'll have to wait for some mods(or maybe an expansion,as has been suggested) to come along before you can play in S-africa or the Pacific. -
Commanders
Roosevelt45 replied to pzguderian's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
I think we can all agree on that. Although I do think that even if the axis had won WW2, fascism would still have been abolished by now by the means of a revolution or simply a regime change like the USSR had in 1989. -
Will we be able to make our own scripts with the editor? I know this has been discussed before but there was a lot of doubt about it then, so I just wanted to know how its development is going and how it will work.

Quantity vs Quality
Roosevelt45 replied to SeaMonkey's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
I think that a small but highly trained and motorized unit has more chance of holding a 1,000 mile front than an enormous army that's still using WW1-techniques. So I as well would go for the 'super army group'-strategy. -
Raven25, I know all those facts and am in favor of evacuation possibilities and I think that most troops should just keep on fighting if they're fighting abroad at the time of the caputilation. But I don't like the possibility of full evacuation of a minor country immediately after the DOW, it's just too unrealistic that a minor country would allow that before the capitulation.
-
I don't think it is realistic to say that a country would have fully evacuated all troops immediately after the DOW just because the UK told them to. Would you give up your home and your country without a fight just because your allies wanted you to? But I do think that every country should be able to evacuate after a while.

Commanders
Roosevelt45 replied to pzguderian's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
I think that you should be able to put whoever you want in command of your army. e.g.: If I wanted to make Guderian a field marshall I should be able to. Or, if I wanted to transfer Rommel to the kriegsmarine I should have the ability to transform my Rommel HQ into a naval HQ. I think that either way it is a bad idea to make HQ's dissapear because it is historicaly correct. Besides, if the germans were still winning the war, Rommel would have never tried to assasinate Hitler.
