Perhaps take it one step further: you could even select your photo for your hero. That way, if the end user wants to add photos of "licensed" material that the game publisher can't include for legal reasons, at least the end user could. So if you want SS or other historical figures, you can without Slitherine breaking any German or EU laws.

Funny you should say that...I have been planning to start Poland but with the 29. Infanterie-Division (mot)!

(Followed by the 3rd)
It should be noted that both of those divisions did not contain a Panzer Abteilung until 1943 when they are reborn as Panzergrenadier-Divisions. Before their destruction at Stalingrad, they simply had an anti-tank battalion instead. But even later on, their Panzer-Abtleilungs were made of self-propelled anti-tank guns (like the StuG III) rather than tanks. This all of course only matters if you want to be historically correct.
A few Panzergrenadier divisions did have actual tanks, most notably the Großdeutschland-Division.

What's the next countdown going to be after launch? Countdown to announcement of what those 2 un-described DLC are?

29. division is also a fine choice!
I know they didn't have any tanks. But I put in elements from other units, to complement the 3. infanterie.
*edit*
For example the JG3 will act as fighter cover, StG2 close support and so on. As for the tanks, I will probably bring in elements from a yet to be decided panzer division. But my core elements will be from the 3. infanterie for sure.

By the way, is there any risk of the pandemic virus delaying the release of the game?

That is very unlikely. There's always risk factors, and we plan against them, but I'm not sure quite how COVID-19 is more of a threat than anything else at this stage.
