Unrepresented nations PG needs most? - Shad - 06-19-2012
If you could snap your fingers and add a nation to PG's order of battle, which would it be?
For quick reference:
Apart from China, which is a glaring omission in my eyes, I would love to see a module on the Battle of Singapore. We could get some neat special counters for the Malay and Singaporean troops.
I figure there's probably 10 distinct scenarios + a mini-campaign worth of material there, and with the Brits involved there should be some good historical sources to draw from.

You've already mentioned the Chinese; I'll second that. Having recently read a decent work on the Norwegian war I wouldn't mind seeing Norway enter the fold.
If there's room in PG for Finns, Lithuanians, and Slovaks then there has to be room for the Norwegians!

Great ideas, when are you guys going to start the design.

I finance and I support, I don't execute.

Greece (necessary if you want to do Crete)

After China I would say that the most glaring omission (the three scenarios in Cassino notwithstanding) would be the Canadians, eh?

I would also suggest that the Dutch and Belgians deserve some fleeting consideration. We may also want to look at Poles, Romanians and Bulgarians fighting for the Soviets.
And given the number of complaints about hidden units I am almost sad to say the Yugoslavian conflict including the Chetniks and Tito's forces (who would almost certainly be hidden) along with Italians, Bulgarians, and SS from Sinister Forces. There are a few scenarios in Edelweiss and Sinister Forces that deal with the conflict but not in any focused way.
Finally (although that is certainly not the final word) the Phillipine Army is probably worth a scenario pack.
RE: Unrepresented nations PG needs most? - tanzerleader - 06-19-2012
i dont know where to begin but the obvious ones are:
Greece
Norway
Belgium
China
Bulgaria
Yugoslavia
some nationalities also need to be expanded
France (Late war Free French)
Hungary (Pre 1945 Russian front)
Canada (how can 2 x Stuart VI and 5 x Sherman possibly be enough!!!!?????)
I would also love to see theses nations in alternate history modules
Sweden
Switzerland
Turkey
RE: Unrepresented nations PG needs most? - JayTownsend - 06-19-2012
I vote for:
Chinese
Brazilians
Canadians
Belgians
Greeks
RE: Unrepresented nations PG needs most? - vince hughes - 06-19-2012
Belgians
Dutch
Norwegians (Grandad had two brothers killed in a week in that campagn for Gods sake)
That will complete 1940 and then:
Chinese
Canadians
Greeks
Yugoslavs
Bulgarians (for some partisan scenarios)
