Is there special WinSPWW2 forum?

There will be one, when the game is released.

Cheers

I'd like a Danish OOB for obvious reason - I'm Danish

Even though the Army only fought for a couple of hours in 1940 and again in 1943, it would be usefull for a Weserübung campaign (the German attack on Denmark/Norway) and what-ifs. After all, the Danish Army saw more figthting than the Swedes, who are already in the game (v. 7.x)

And the OOB should be extended to 8/43.

The Swedes got in as I recall, as an Ally for Finland. Some Expiditionary force or other.

Denmark might happen (as with Portugal, Brazil etc who fought in Italy), at a later release. But right now, I don't have a man week or so to spare to integrate a new OOB with the game, which is shortly about to go to playtesting anyway.

Can't think of any nations left out that actually fought in WW2 (e.g Switzerland, Turkey and Eire would never make it in).

AFAIK the Swedes sent military aid in the form of equipment, but never sent any forces. The Swedes that went to Finland were volunteers as were many Norwegians and Danes.
Denmark was probably closer to being an ally of Germany then Sweden was to Finland, as the Germans were allowed to raise a national Waffen-SS battalion - Freikorps Danmark - from recruiting offices in Denmark. Danish officers got permission to leave the Danish Army to serve in the Freikorps from King and goverment (promptly forgotten in 1945 of course ). Danish goverment ministers were even inspecting the unit in Germany.

I know, of course, that a Freikorps scenario could (and probably should) be made by using the German OOB. But if being a near ally of a WWII combatant is a criteria, the Danes should be in (on the wrong side, unfortunately, but still in )

No problem, just wanted to strike a blow for the ol' countrys chances of making the game if the powers that be decide to expand the roster

I'd like a Danish OOB too, for obvious reasons - then one could fight Sweden vs Denmark battles. Just like in the good old days, eh...? I'm Swedish.

LOL. Neighbours are just the same...

Having Swedish OOB in the game is unrealistic. Sweden was a neutral country and did not participate in the war in any way. Sweden did not give any military support to Finland. And most sertanly Sweden was not an Ally to anyone. (Hence the word neutral country.) Finland did buy some weapons from Sweden but this is not the same as giving military support. Sweden did give humanitarian aid to Finland which was allowed for a neutral country to do. If Sweden is there already then why not add other neutral countries like Spain, Switzerland, etc. also?

I dont see any sence in adding Denmark either. Denmark was an occupied country. If you want to represent Danish born people fighting alongside German units then add them to the German OOB.

If you have to add Danish OOB then make it from 1930-1940 only.
Same thing for Swedish OOB 1930-1940.
