Slovakia and Bulgaria
Posted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 4:19 pm
Firstly thank you for this excellent upgrade and kudo's to all involved. It is amazing.
In the next upgrade (hopefully there will be continued enhancements to this great game) - I would like to address two small issues.
Firstly Bulgaria: Bulgaria never declared war on the USSR and throughout the war even had a USSR embassy located in Sofia. Bulgaria was active inthe Balkansbut did declare war against the western allies. I am not surehow this could be achieved in the game - but Bulgarian units are defacto used in Russia which shouldnt happen - I would rather see them located in France or Africa then Russia because even though this didnt happen at least they had declared war against the UK, USA and western allies.
Secondly Slovakia: Slovakia was an independant (albiet heavily influenced) ally of Germany - they are the only German ally to have taken part in the invasion of Poland (so where with them from the beginning). They contributed a constant level of circa 2 corps (60k troops) all the way through until '44 when they where made into construction battalions. They even had a motorised division. They should be represented as a seperate entity (not a renamed German division).
The way I am currently playing this is that I rename two Bulgarian Corps as Slovakian and use them in Russia and the rest of the Bulgarian forces I keep in the Balkans (but may on occasion send a division to France or so).
ANyone else's thoughts are appreciated - especially in case this has already been taken into account and I havnt seen the thread.
