This is a one of those little niggles that gets me every time I play a war game--national flags. The Americans get the stars and stripes, the British get their Union Jack, the Japanese get their rising sun battle flag, the Soviets get the hammer and sickle...and the Germans get this gamey cross on a red field, that was neither the national flag or the Wehrmacht's battle flag. Yes, there was a similar cross used on the sides of planes and panzers, but I don't know of a single actual instance of this flag, and it feels very cop-out. I do notice that the "SC: Blitzkrieg" logo features 4 flags and with (surprisingly) the German flag there...yet it's not in the screenshots for the game. There, we're back to the gamey flag. I don't know, it's not huge, but it is somewhat jarring out of the mood and atmosphere of the game. It always feels like bug, intentional though it is. Nik
