Yeah. WW1 in Jungle !
Madagascar would be fun. First usage of the Tetrach, and planes you see nowhere else.

I mean, god forbid they consider playing a game they're not included in. Reminds me of the time Americans boycotted Crusader Kings II, EU: Rome, Red Orchestra, and every Total War game before and after Empire because they didn't involve the United States. Oh wait...
People want to play games because they provide fun and enjoyable gameplay - not because their nation is represented. Otherwise we Aussie gamers would only have just started into gaming with the release of Australia for Civ 6!
Considering that the Soviet Union made major contributions to the fight against Germany, you'd expect them to be in there as a proud Russian.
Would you buy this game if the US was not included?
If the US wasn't included in a Normandy 1944 game I'd be more confused than disappointed.
Yeah but it's kind of a let down. You kind of get excited when you see your country in a game and that might make you more likely to buy it. Whether or not your country is in it isn't exactly the one mega-deciding factor. I wouldn't even have started gaming because I have yet to see a game with Romania as a serious faction.
I own dozens of historical military games that have nothing to do with the United States. I play games for the gameplay, not to have my sense of national pride jerked off.
We should have done that in retaliation for Battlefield One.
Normandy 44 with British, Canadians, Germans, French, Poles, even Czechs ... but no Americans.
I'd love to see Romania in an Eastern Front expansion. Everybody wants the Finns but the Romanians were more important.

Battlefield 1 is a Swedish crime. Please don't take it out on us.

Well obviously you have to add the Americans in as a 15 dollar DLC with only an artillery division available using hand-me-down Canadian equipment for "experimentation".
If not included at release, soviet Union will probably be added as a nation pack in vein of wargame, where Czech fights Israelis in Korea.
Depends how super duper realistic this is supposed to be. If we're actually getting accurate division TO&Es, the eastern front is going to be either the mother of all DLCs or an entirely separate game.
And this is exactly the sort of thing that deserves my +1. Thanks for the laugh.
I remember being excited for COH2 even though America wasn't in it (and wasn't planned to be in it). The lack of Shermans or paratroopers in a WW2 game didn't phase me in the slightest.
People give American's a bad rap for always needing the US in their games, but I've never seen a more nationalistic driving force behind game popularity than in the Russian video game market. Even in World of Warships the practically non-existent Russian Navy was introduced over a year earlier and still has more ships than the British Navy, the worlds pre-eminent navy for much of that game's period.
My favorite example of the hypocrisy is every time in the past that I suggested an American Civil War game in the Total War franchise or by Paradox, a bunch of Europeans tell me it'd be boring and they don't want to play an American Civil War game in spite of the unique gameplay/challenges it'd have. Meanwhile I've happily sat through countless games set in Europe in various time periods.
But Americans have to have their country in every game to be interested, right?
Oh man, I can't tell you how much I wanted a Total War: A House Divided. Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai really drove home how great it would be. In the meantime, I'd recommend Ultimate General: Civil War for anyone interested in a Civil War game.
But yeah, the hypocrisy can be disheartening.
1 of my fav games when i was a kid was iirc North vs. South: The Great American Civil War.
was a great game, shame no real good comparasons out there and i gotta go to 1999 for my game xD
The real question is why is Scotland separate from England here? I think it would have been better to just branch off the British Empire as simply the Commonwealth and add space for other nations to go in.
