A great rifle for BR3/4 as well as a great sniper rifle limited capacity but full semi auto power. Would make a great Premium or even squad as either a sniper or rifleman squad depending on gun choice. would allow a good weapon that while not produced in large numbers during the war was far from only a prototype weapon.

While the US/Germany/USSR/Japan get the majority of the Attention. Countries like UK/Commonwealth, France, China Italy also played a major role. But many minor countries provided men and Material to the war effort,

Germas had Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Finland, while others like Slovakia and Croatia. USSR had Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, and Bulgari. UK had Poland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, and Greece,. Even Japan had limited numbers from China, Burma, Philippines, Indonesia, Mylasia.

Just like the Chinese and French units already in game foreign units are already serving. I like the idea of not having to play only say all Japanese, or Soviets.
Members of 1st Czechoslovak Independent Field Battalion take oath in ...
As sad as it is many of the fronts and battle surrounding WW2 will not be included or not in the near future. Including a unit like the Czech first could give the game more flavor.


If you would like to add a country not included that served a major power do so below. Or list a particular unit or country not listed. Or even a separate country or unit like the Gurkhas.

Love this, would really like this in game pleaasseeeeeeee!

Seriously though, SU could use some extra faction identity, so this or minority squads or a Mongolian squad would be really cool.

There were about a thousand men during the Siege of Budapest that had fought with the Allies.
The unit was called Buda regiment and was made up of Hungarian PoW and was active for less than 50 days. After the battle they were sent to GULAGs like other Hungarian PoWs.

There were also a 2-10 men that joined the Polish uprising in 44.
Some American-Hungarians served in the US army.

Just for comparison, in the 25th Hunyadi SS division alone 20000 Hungarians volunteers and conscripts served.
In short: Hungary contributed many times more to the Axis than the Allies.
