Heh, good to know. It's just that because the Finnish front is so rare sight (and totally unknown for many) that it has become so important that when it DOES appear somewhere it's atleast correctly made (that's why it's disliked to see our own historical swatiska (Von Rosen's Cross, was Finnish Airforce's sign from 1918-1945) been censored just because one jerk took same sign for his party-sign ). We are proud of our little part in history. :)

If you had stated a specific battle maybe I'd consider voting for it. PS: The Aussies did most of the Eytie whipping in Africa... and for those who hate the french.. a small force of Free french held off rommel's 8th repeatedly, refusing to give in because they were ashamed of what france had done... they eventually won.
That's just the thing. I had remember the 2 Italians wanted to see the Brits and Fascists scuffle in the desert, but didn't give me a specific battle to work with. I personally wouldn't care to see one, as it would include battles such as British/Italian Somalialand, the capture of Mogadishu or Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. Is that specific enough for you?

I also want a link to that French claim. I hardly doubt a "small" force could hold up Rommel (who was heading 1 panzer division and 1 light motorized at the time of entrance).

I think he's referring to the siege of Bir-Hakeim?
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bir_Hakeim
The French eventually managed to stage a breakout at night, so I'd call that a victory...

Reading it now, it would make a very interesting map...

For one, The "Small" Free French Legion had support from the 7th British Armored Division. Rommel layed seige to the city and asked for surrender. The refused, held on for a little while, and eventually escaped and left Bir Hakeim.

Since when did evacuations become victories?! Strategically, they managed to maintain the bulk of their forces, but they lost the battle. The same goes for the evacuation of Dunkirk.

We have seen USA vs. Germany in many maps already. Choose the Mannerheim Line.

I dunno - not losing to Rommel sounds like victory enough for me. ;)

RE-DO OMAHA!!!!! :D Make the beach wider, place the mg emplacements farther back, and add more control points on the beach and past the cliffs. I really love the Overlord Dog Green map for the XWWII mod, please make your Omaha map like Overlord.

This little thing I don't get: If there's already a working version of omaha beach, why should they do it again and the same way someone else did when there are lots of untouched battles and frontiers that NO ONE has ever done before? Shouldn't they do something spectacular instead of copying others?

XWW2 Dog Green was such a drab map. I played it once and then completely forgot about it.

It appears that Mannerheim Line is pulling ahead with not many days left to vote! :D

Because it's the most famous battle of the history and the DICE version is not perfect.
