[QUOTE=baronWastelan;272720]Who were the "Allies" exactly in July - Nov 1940? Let's start a list.

1. British Empire and British Commonwealth Nations
2. Poles
3. Norway
4. Free French
5. Tchecoslovakia
6. Netherland
7. Luxembourg
8. USA

It's not because your country got invaded that all forces of that country stopped fighting against the common enemy. A lot of volunteers from other nations helped Britain to go on and survive during the BoB. Help was small in size, but huge regarding personnal investment of all those freedom fighters.

Of course, Britain held the last effort after the german invaded every other ally on the continent, but hey, without the channel, the RAF would have had tanks on their runways too.

Remember that it took nearly 5 more years to defeat the german, and roughly 25 to 30 million of more casualties...

Luftwaffe radio codes
Blaue Truppen = own troops

No USA until Dec 7 1941.

As for the red and blue, there is tradition there. Many war games (real life) used those colours.

Like why on earth in the new patch missions setup you have a British flag for the red team and yet they dont have a German flag for the blue team? Seems a bit daft.

It seems to me that the only color that "truly" matters here is...green. ;)

'Axis and Allies' is a name of a game, but that doesn't mean they can sue anyone using the names axis/allies for teams in a game..

Or perhaps I should make a game called Red vs Blue and then sue all other games using red and blue for teams..

Seiseki, it was said with a more humorous view on the topic. :grin:
but otherwise a good lawyer always finds a way to sue the crap outa you. ;)

When this series continues into other theatres of WW2 it will make a lot of sense to keep a simple colour scheme to set which side is which.
No-one is trying to rewrite history that Britain was communist, if that is what is bothering you

I've tried to write an honest response twice now to nat's posts on this - and both times have given up and binned the efforts, as I realised the utter ridiculousness of what I was trying to put down in words.

The bolded part above gets the gist.

6 pages on this non-issue??!!

Well, I play simulators for the immersion..
I want to feel like I'm in 1940 flying in the battle of britain..

Anything that adds immersion and historical atmosphere is important in my book..
But obviously performance takes priority right now..
