New Zealand?

Any army in World War 2 is fair game. Several of us are campaigning for representation as it is, lol! Just take a look: Hungarians, Free French, now New Zealand! Of course, now that Australia is official, New Zealand might have a higher chance of entry; just not in FH1. 0.7 is FH1's last release, so any hope for New Zealand or the Free French will have to wait until FH2.

you know the British army wasn't all English people, it was made of scots, welsh, english and Irish. Yet they have no representation in the mod.

So when I hear about some New Zealanders pissing there pants over wanting in when Australia, an identical country with identical customs and voices is alrady in I have to laugh.

New Zealand noob - But our countries much bigger than yours :eek:

Your country may be bigger, but Scotlands population then was about double that of New Zealand, not sure about now, but who gives a shit anymore?

So like yeah, I got out the wrong side of the bed this morning.

I'm saying theres no point having New Zealand and Australia in FH, the same as theres no point having all nations of Great Britian in.

If all it takes is an additional voice set and a another flag, I don't see the trouble.

Re: New Zealand?
 
I spent the past 6 months travelling through both New Zealand and Australia. Both are marvoulus countrys and both are very proud of their war efforts.

But you have to admit, that on a global scale, both Australia and NZ were far to small to have a major impact on the war. Most of the time they used british equipment anyway.

However, if included, I´d like to see the 28th Mauri battalion featured. Maybe even allwo them to challenge their enemys with the "Haka"...:bows:

Re: New Zealand?
 
They should just replace Britain and Canada with the "Commonwealth". Assuming it's possible to mix up the voices to include all the different accents of course. They all used such similar equipment and were generally involved in the same engagements. Really no such thing as an "English" army in ww2.

No they shouldn't, because not always mixture of commonwealths were fighting at one place or one battle. It's fine the way it is.

I mused have missed the "complaint" part !

Because as I recall, nobody here whined or insisted that NZ should be included. All that it was, was a suggestion, and I´m sure we all know that the chances of Kiwis ever getting into FH is probably even smaller than an appearance of the Maus.

Nederbörd October 1st, 2005 04:21 PM

Re: New Zealand?
 
Hmm... I've always wondered what ANZAC means. I get that the two first letters represent Australia-New Zealand. So adding the Kiwi's wouldn't be two bad. Maybe we could convince that Maori guy (o what was your name again!?) from Christchurch to make a voice pack and the devs would easily create the flag. Not too hard. :)

LIGHTNING [NL] October 1st, 2005 04:28 PM

Re: New Zealand?
 
What's the use of a new army if you're just going to give them a new flag and some crazy voice (which is not "not hard". In fact, it's a hell of a lot of work)?

From what I can tell, I'm the only kiwi who's posted in this thread so far. No Kiwi has been 'pissing their pants over wanting in'. New Zealand had one of the highest casualty rates of all the countries involved in WWII (per capita). In the same way, NZ probably has one of the highest numbers of people who play FH, again per capita. We only have 4 million people, but when FH was at its height (pre BF2) we easily filled two servers every night, which is no mean feat for such a small population.
Kiwis and Aussies are very different to members of the Commonwealth armies from the British Isles, this alone probably warrants us being in. And I'm very happy for the Australians that they're finally getting represented in such a great mod. I'd be even more happy if the Kiwis were in their alongside them, or even seperate to them, but hell, we are pretty insignificant over all.

I'm not sure if it's just because you're not a great speller, or if you've only heard the term before, never seen it in writing, but dude - Maori. I think it would be awesome if the Maori Battalion could be featured.

Australia New Zealand Army Corps.

New Zealand is a small country, and taking away any per capta comments, their contribution to the war was minimal. So I definetly don't expect the mods to do as much as lift a finger to try and include NZ in the mod. That said, we've got quite a few talented modellers in the BF community, many of whom are huge FH fans. If these guys (and I know that one of them tried applying for FH not too long ago, but didn't have the time) were to make an effort to model in some kiwi uniforms and skins, then maybe we will see Aotearoa included in FH one day, who knows.
If it happens, you know that we'll have to include a Bob Semple tank as an Easter Egg in a map with Kiwi soldiers in them.

Do i look NZ to you? So plz keep quiet.

We do not talk the same.. its like saying that scottish and irish talk the same..
Australians say Fish and Chips while New zealanders say Fush and chups we both speak English if thats what you mean..
Now on topic don't start this whining for more countrys it was a suggestion ok.. Im an Australian i don't care if NZ gets in my fellow clanners who don't have an account on these forums asked me to post this. Although now that i think of it Yes i do want NZ.

And Invincible GG on the tripple post don't know if it was an acident or your just being an idiot.

So in summary - if kiwis want NZ in FH, let the kiwis put it in there themselves. If the devs want NZ in there for some reason, then hell, I for one will be grateful.

All I know about New Zealand is that it contributed much in the North African campaign.

Re: New Zealand?
 
Why not combine Australia and NZ to form the ANZAC, after all we are not THAT different!

The only notable difference would be the way in whish we say fish and chips.
We say it like it should "Fish and Chips" Kiwi's say "Fush arnd Chups".

Re: New Zealand?
 
lol NZ I love those guys.
In reality, and i know it's hypocritical been Australian, but NZ played a minior role in WW2 even less then Australia.
I don't understand NZ desire to be completly independent of Australia in everything despite the fact we are very simliar militarly and we are your defence forces. (at least today)
However this doesn't mean i don't support a NZ addition to FH (just stating my reasons against) I would love to see a Cassino battle involving involving NZ and Italian forces in Italy. Could spice that theatre up!
As for A NZ vs Aus map......well lol we could have Aussie forces attacking a NZ base to reclaim our stolen Rugby Cup?
Also because someone stated possible Oz maps i believe the best possible maps would be:
Bardiah-1940 Aus vs Italy, Tobruk-1941 Aus vs Italy,, Syria 1941 Aus vs Free French, Supercharge-1942 Aus vs Germans, Singapore-1942 Aus vs Japan, Kokoda Trail (a must) 1942, Milne Bay-1942 Aus vs Japan (top Priority), Java Sea-1942 Aus/USA/Dutch/Brits vs Japan (sea battle), Borneo-1945 Aus vs Japan (two words- Flame Matildas)

Johannes October 5th, 2005 11:17 PM

Re: New Zealand?
 
Woah, NZ forces vs. Italian Forces at Monte Cassino? Italy had long been on the Allied side by the time the battle of Monte Cassino happened. In fact, the Italians were helping the Allies at Monte Cassino. Italy began peace talks after the fall of Sicily and switched to the Allied side immediately after the invasion of the Straits of Messina (Operation Baytown in BF1942). In any case, New Zealanders might be all right for the village of Cassino, but the monastery would best involve Polish soldiers in the battle.

And Australia vs. Free French in Syria? Uhhhh.... The Free French were on the Allied side. They helped the British take Syria. Do you mean the Vichy French by any chance? I don't know, but I think you're a tad confused as to the post-1940 French.

I assumed that the Free French would have similar weapon set to the French, in hindsight i should have said french rather then free, but i did mean the French in Syria.

i would be cool to have a nz vs japan map, i think the nz air force shot 102 japanese planes. although i wouldn't really care if there are kiwis in fh but it would be cool. NEW ZEALANDERS RULE!

lol I love how this is degrading into a Aus vs NZ contest, like everything else were involved in together. There was a New Zealand and Japan battle but i can't think of it right now.
lol As for the cross sea flaming: I can say "Sheep Jokes" to the New Zealanders and the Australian Language is high pitched but you can thank "Kath n Kim" for that.
