wow, what is this hostility. I was not trying to create any problems or attack any designers or this game. and I very much appreciate the work you guys have done converting and enhancing the game. now...
maybe I should rephrase "german bais or slant" (since this seems to upset people) to say "a majority of the scenarios are german". we can agree to that, right? although this wouldn't have sounded good as a subject header.
my orginal point was commenting on the lack of nation diversity in the scenarios, ie. dominated by german scenarios. look at my first post:

I would say conservatively that 60-75% the 330 something scenarios are to be played as the German Army. Then you have some American army, and Royal army scenarios, and a handful of Red army ones. This nearly ignores and de-emphasizes the other biggest players in the War.
What do you guys think of this?

some people said, it wasn't intentional, others said it was intentional because people "love" loving playing as german army, they have the big toys. etc. others said their easier to design for , and the designers where interested in the germany army etc. these were peoples responses to the high proportion of german scenarios
my last post was in response to troopie saying No, "it's biased toward nations that have a lot of info available in English". a good comment but which is clearly not the (only or major) reason.I already explaine why, there is no reason to repeat it. and I ended my post with its a good thing that their maybe a red army campign and a british campign possibly being developed (apparantly there is already a british one, already far along). is this not a good thing!?
for some reason, me being upset at the lack of coverage specifically little material on the red army a big player (objective, we can all agree to this statement) and a clearly popular nation in sp shown by the poll, to a lesser extent the british and (even) the USA and minor nation (repeating myself), is motiviated by political reasons, and I'm given a speech about points I already said I accepted.
in reponse the last part of your post DRG:
some scenarios do in fact have a (slight) german "bais" or whatever politically correct term you want to use. you seem to say that every scenario is completely objective and neutral. one scenario when speaking about hungary and romania leaving the war, call it a "defection", and another scenario (hypothetical) is a joint american/nazi germany offensive/counter-attack on the soviet union. now, a scenario where the usa and nazi germany "team up" together is cleary totally unbaised and not pro-german "cause" right?
and I say this with complete in hostility DRG. when I first started this thread, I never planned on getting to this point.
