Accidently posted that twice.

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.

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.

Waaaay too much limits, rules and complicated procedures here.
I think that we mustn't forget the simplicity of the game, which made it so playable.
-
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.
-
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.

I'm doing my French oral examination about 'la bataille de l'atlantic' tomorrow

Great site btw.

Luckily, panic is not a factor of SC yet, so I dwon't have to worry about that when I will be evacuating France
-
NiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiceEditable routes, actually.
I always wanted the convoy system to be more realistic and playable.

You know,
some people actually work on their computer.

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.

Noooooo,Originally posted by Retributar:Nothing is for FREE...and Whiskey costs money!.
seriously?

All my respect for HC.
It must be hard to balance out historical correctness,game playablity and simplicity,the freedom of re-writing history,etc...

I only know that Romania changed sides at the end and that they(Romania and Hungary) failed to stop the Russians at Stalingrad.
-
:confused:Originally posted by Panzeh:Hungarian troops should get a significantly higher morale when fighting Romanian troops.
I'm probably missing something here.
Why?
I would think they would be rather reluctant to fight their old allies.
-
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.Originally posted by Blashy:Not only is it realistic, but it did happen. Troops from every conquered country had troops in the UK.
If a player wants to move all the troops from a country that was just declared war on, so be it, the game is about changing history and the Axis get it faster with no losses, so there is a cost.
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.
-
-
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.

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.
