Perhaps they are saving the Japanese faction for a more Pacific Theatre based WW2 game.
But yes it does seem like this new expansion is focusing mainly on the Russians - Which is a good thing, i'm getting very tired of playing as the Allies in every other game out there.
Hopefully we'll get some missions where we can use the Romanians or Italians, who have also been overlooked in the WW2 RTS field.
Still looking forward to this game, do we have any news on a date?
Gamespot started saying the game was coming out earlier in July, of course it didn't, but since then they have just added a day every day that it doesn't come out....It's quite frustrating.
