You missed the normal MG34 Squad in Berlin.

I would like that too, but it wont most likely be in game like this sadly.

  1. Falschirmjager regiment would be best for it imo, as they have fought with Americans from day 1 and division they have been assigned is in game already with 2 squads (91 Luftlande-Division).

Oh if they added the 28th Maori Battalion that would be legit. I would love to see the Indian Battalions represented as well another group forgotten that did a hell of a lot. BTW this isnt abot woke bs I just would like to see a bit more focus in WW2 games for some of the other Nations that fought in that conflict. Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Canada and nations like Italy Norway and Finland

I mean it would be totally epic on Normandy to be able to pick the Commonwealth instead of the USA. Attacking Juno Sword and Gold beaches. Then working your way up the road to Americans Beaches. I mean Juno Beach was the most heavily defended beach and the canadians kicked ass.

But the Campaign for Italy Crete and Greece that would be epic to be able to be the commonwealth.

I didnā€™t imagine it was, I just assumed it would be BS if they stuffed a Maori unit with all or mostly EU descended dudes. shrug.

Nah Maori Served in both normal Battalions and the 28th Maori Battalion. The 28th is rather famous because of what Rommel said about them ā€œIf I had a Battalion of those Maori I could take over the worldā€ That and our troops all NZ troops that served in Europe unless they were dead or unable to fight any longer never came home and remained in country from the time they left NZ till the end of the war. Both my Great Grandfathers that served in WW2 Arrived in Africa in 1940 and didnt see New Zealand until early 1946. Churchill was a mean bastard and would let our troops come home. The Aussies once the Japanese attacked their Prime Minister brought the majority of the Aussie Troops back to fight in the Pacific, our government didnt want to rock the boat.

Itā€™s just a hat, m8. You should be happy your grandfathers battalion is directly represented in a game - everyone will know this battalion existed, and remember your grandpas.

But is not, his great grandparents unit was the 28th Maori Battalion, here they have the 24th.
I mean check out the chin on this guy haha

As a neighbour of New Zealand, i was a bit disappointed, with the new squad, i honestly thought/pictured it would be a Maori unit, when i see the event, not one full of Pakehaā€™s, with a weapon they didnā€™t even use.

Would be nice if there are going to represent the commonwealth units, in game, they would at least use some of most famous Indigenous units, that fought.

The Anzacs are in Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. If you havenā€™t played it, I recommend you try it, itā€™s excellent!

I wish they would use squads of under represented people that actually fought, Black tank crew, female Soviet snipers, native American radio squads, Indian and other common wealth troops.

I want TONS of unique squads to choose from.

I remember seeing thread in forum somewhere, about 2 months ago, i read it, about, black tank crew units, and women etc
Donā€™t think it attracted much support though, which was disappointing, but in the future who knows, can only hope :smiley:
