There is clearly a "german bias" or german slant whatever you want to call it, (take a look at the scenario list).

What that "proves" is there are more German POV scenarios becasue the primary sceanrio designer early on was interested in that aspect of the conflict. As I said we could just as easily been accused of having a "USMC" bias or slant had CB been more interested in in the Pacific Theater of operations but he wasn't and here we are debating political correctness in a wargame.

But you just couldn't resist saying it again could you?
OK I get to say my little speech again then.
NOBODY set out to build up or put down or feature any one nation while the game was being developed. There was no master plan to promote the German cause in WW2 though scenario design. I did not reject the quality sceanrios offered to me simply because we had exceeded some kind of "quota" system to create a "balance" that would satisfy everyone at some point in the future. Yes, there are quite a few German POV scenarios and many of them take place on the Russian Front. Played from the other side there are now an almost equal number of Russian scenarios. Some will play well from the Russian side. Some do not and will be too easy to win as the Russians. The ones that "do not" make fine beginner scenarios when played from the Russian POV.
If I am offered quality scenarios for the game I will continue to accept them no matter if they are written from the Polish, Hungarian, Russian, Croatian, Japanese, Canadian or German POV. I will NOT accept scenarios that attempt to make a political point. The ones in the game now do not so although there may be more scenarios with a German POV added in the future that does not mean the game was designed to be biased towards the German cause.
