Jarmo Posted August 24, 2000 Share Posted August 24, 2000 And here goes: Allow both players to choose units from the same side. I'd just love to play out the US vs Canada war. Or british vs French. On a more serious note, I wonder how this'll be done in CM2 and on. Finland and Italy both did the strategic U-turn, and thereby qualify as allied as well as axis. ------------------ Now, would this brilliant plan involve us climbing out of our trenches and walking slowly towards the enemy sir?

Tanaka Posted August 24, 2000 Share Posted August 24, 2000 I think BTS already pronounce abaut this... "Finland and Italy both did the strategic U-turn, and thereby qualify as allied as well as axis." Italy never fought the Germans in the East Front... and I think Finland after the armistice did't fight the Germans also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarmo Posted August 24, 2000 Author Share Posted August 24, 2000 Finland did fight the germans. The germans destroyed many cities of north finland while retreating. ------------------ Now, would this brilliant plan involve us climbing out of our trenches and walking slowly towards the enemy sir?

Tanaka Posted August 24, 2000 Share Posted August 24, 2000 ...Yes you got me there... but what I meant was that Finland didn´t ally with the Allies, like Italy did. João Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Hofbauer Posted August 24, 2000 Share Posted August 24, 2000 Given their (cliché) combat value, does it really matter whether the italians are your allies or enemies ? the other "loyalty-flexible" U-turners, the finns and romanians, are quite a different story, though. while in the overall picture the finnish-german hostilities might be considered local skirmishes, the participation of the Romanians alongside the Red Army at the end of the war was of considerable magnitude and a full-scale conflict.

Daveman Posted August 24, 2000 Share Posted August 24, 2000 I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but in CM2 I'd like to see the option for Allies (at least US) versus Russia... see if Patton was right! ------------------ "You know our standing orders.

Juardis Posted August 24, 2000 Share Posted August 24, 2000 In Stalingrad, upwards of 50,000 Russian people (not sure of their pedigree be they partisans or regular army) fought for Germany against their fellow Russians. So I would have to say that the ability to fight against your own nationality will be in the game. Troop quality may vary. ------------------ Jeff Abbott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have the Black Watch against the Van Doos, with the Mohawks on the side of the English and the Hurons on the side of the French, just like in the good old days Henri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emos Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 Heh.....how about US vs the Confederacy! You could have a Civil War II (Maybe have an Alternative History scenario similar to a Harry Turtledove novel). Maybe Tiger or KwazyDog could slap on the 'ol Stars & Bars on some Shermans and Pershings! ------------------ "You can't fight in here, this is the War Room!" --Dr. Strangelove-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was notionally set in the late 1930s or thereabout. There were armored divisions and infantry corps, IIRC. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
