OK, guys, who do you want to play as in a new Mega Campaign?



JJKettunen -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/19/2004 4:26:01 PM)

Finns.



Kevin E. Duguay -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/19/2004 4:46:44 PM)

Canadian forces vs German at the Reichwald. Operation Veritable. Lots of cool stuff here, Buffalo's, Sturm Tigers, Fallschirmjager's, Ram Kangaroos, and Crocodiles. Mini Island hopping and new and different tactical situation's for all to enjoy![:)] What more could you ask for??[:D]



John David -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/19/2004 4:47:53 PM)

We should have an MC that is seen through the eyes of the Russians.

Yes, I would like to see an MC based on the Italian campaign, (as was stated in another thread) as well as an MC with Patton and the 3rd Army's drive through France and Germany, but we have not had an opportunity to play a campaign from a Russian perspective.

Their role and sacrifice in the history of WW2 deserves nothing less!

BulletMagnet -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/19/2004 6:57:41 PM)

I second the rusian front thing.Rusian steel is ok,i guess but i would rather see a full blown Mc of the reds.Nice job Kg with the poll.



RockinHarry -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/19/2004 7:04:33 PM)

I voted for Brits, but if possible I would have double voted for Canadians alike![;)]

You could count me in on this Kevin, as I did extensive researches on the Rhineland (Veritable, Blockbuster, Grenade) battles in the past. That includes checking the former battlefields, as they´re all pretty close to my home town Dusseldorf.[8D]



Gallo Rojo -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/19/2004 7:39:13 PM)

Soviets.

but ... why don't you speed-up CL and make a Soviet for CL? [;)]



FNG -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/19/2004 9:38:57 PM)

Canadian 2nd Division - Falaise, Walcheren, Reichwald....

Thanks for providing the choices, BulletMagnet.

Had it been me, I would've added a joke pick or two, say the Swiss. Swiss vs French? French player: "I surrender!" Swiss player: "No, we don't fight." French player: "OK, then, take my money." Swiss player:"Sure, no problem." [;)]



Draken35 -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/19/2004 11:04:20 PM)

Finns is a good idea, but also a may/june 40 campaign with Germans against Dutch, Belgians, Frenchs and Brits.



Les_the_Sarge_9_1 -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/20/2004 2:42:41 PM)

I voted Canadians, but would vote British just as easily.

Russians are in the lead, now there's a shock. Must be something to do with how titanic was the fighting there :)



Palice -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/20/2004 3:01:16 PM)

A MC in Italy would be fine, from Salerno to the fall of Rome, with fights around Cassino.

Sergio Castaldi -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/20/2004 4:22:31 PM)

J vote for the Italians!

J wish to see a Mc with the italians in North Africa ( Graziani's offensive ) or also in Spain. Some interests for italian campaign in Greece, with all the battles, from offensive of Alpini division "Julia" to the defense of Tepeleni.

Thanks Frank for your vote to italians.

Wild Bill -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/20/2004 7:01:41 PM)

FYI, I"m following this thread very closely. Your opinions are quite important here.

Anzac----First to defeat the Germans in a large battle--Tobruk
First to stop the Japanese tide---New Guinea--pre Guadalcanal



Reg -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/21/2004 4:04:14 AM)

I voted for the Australians as they offer a wide and varied range of experiences. The three Australian divisions (6th, 7th and 9th) had varied histories but essentually started with North Africa (Bardia/Trobuk) against the Italians, then on to Greece, Crete and back to North Africa for El Alamain against the Germans. There was also a campain against the Vichy French in there as well. After that they were transferred to the Pacific for Milne Bay, Kokoda, Buna (the New Guinea campaigns). After that they were employed in the recapture of the Dutch East Indies/Borneo area and under took amphibious operations as part of these campaigns. All in all you will have fought all three axis forces and will have fought beside the British, Indians, South Africians, Greeks and US Army.

If you wanted alternative threads in the manner of Screaming Eagles, you could possibly offer to recreate the Kiwis (New Zealanders) who remained in Europe to take part in the Sicily/Italian campaigns or recreate one the Pacific based units.

On the down side there is not a great variation of unit types you can use and the campaign will not contain a lot of "Cool" units. The ANZAC forces were not very armor heavy though the Cavalry regiments (organic to the Aust infantry divisions) acquired small numbers local vehicles when necessary. There were three Armoured divisions equipped with Lee/Grants for home defence but they were never deployed. On the up side, some interesting specialised armour was starting to appear toward the end of the war (Frog flame thrower, Hedgehog 60kg Mortar Tank, Dozers etc)

Just a suggestion,



h_h_lightcap -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/21/2004 4:17:30 AM)

Good on ya reg----

I forgot to mentiobn the n. africa, europe, pacific part in my email!!!!

AUSSIES ALL THE WAY!!! MY great uncle was a desert rat. and my great grandpa in a trench in 1917. Also my Granpa fought along side the aussies in Java and new Guinea.



Frank W. -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/21/2004 1:41:27 PM)

i think italians are not good for sales [;)]

also some nations should get some bonus in a
campaign as italy or anzac as their values the game
gives them are a bit low. even british suffer from
that ( compared to the germans )



panda124c -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/21/2004 6:45:07 PM)

How about early war. The British in France, Greece, then N. Africa pre German. Then there are the French, in France, then N. Africa with the British then with the Americans.



Fallschirmjager -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/21/2004 8:18:14 PM)

An FJ divsision in Italy for the first ever defensive MC
Playing as the Russians the final 2 months of the war
Playing as the Germans the final 2 months of the war
A Finnish ski comapany in a commando role
The British SAS in North Africa and Norway


Those 5 are options I would like to see



Major_Mess -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/21/2004 11:50:00 PM)

Canadians

They had two very tough jobs to do - both working for Monty.
Italy & Holland, lots of quite unique battles fighting for all those ports.

KG Erwin -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/22/2004 2:09:59 AM)

Well, I put in my obligatory vote for the USMC, but I'm not surprised that the Russians have the lead. I would attribute much of this with the outstanding research of David Glantz et al, writers who have taken advantage of the material now becoming openly available in Russian archives. The last ten years have seen groundbreaking works in revealing the true nature of the "Stumbling Colossus" (the title of one of Glantz' books, which is in my personal library). Of course, one could also credit the late John Erickson, whose earlier books provided much knowledge to build upon.



Huffy -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/22/2004 6:40:07 AM)

I voted US Army....gotta go with the men from my home...
Take care all,
Huffy

I also think that makes much more sense (concerning new MC)![8D] I guess just for this reason, MatrixGames won´t hurt themselves by releasing another "Eastern Front" MC for SPWAW![;)]



Tombstone -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/23/2004 7:54:06 PM)

From the pov of the Soviets would be a new and interesting experience. Go USSR! I think KG is right though, Soviet military history knowlege is available now in a way that was just not possible just 10 years ago.

Renaud -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/24/2004 2:35:14 PM)

My first choice would be the French (with the regular army in 1940 and then with the FFL forces). It would mean a fantastic mix of opponents, allies and maps.

But I don't think such a miracle will ever happen. So I'll give my vote to ANZAC - diversity first !



bob55 -> RE: What Nationality Do You Want in a MC? (3/25/2004 5:36:21 AM)

Had to stay faithful......a USMC island hopping campaign
