campaign scenario setup help

Ahh, so that's the reason. I left the player nation as Germany, because I was afraid it would cause a bug if we switched to Italy in the middle of the campaign. I didn't notice it switched to February automatically. In fact, isn't that a bit strange? Shouldnt I be able to set whatever date I want in the editor to do what ifs and stuff?

The game is set up to follow the historical WW2 timeline, otherwise it all goes to pot especially in campaigns. We would get end-user "bug" reports for UK v GE in that date if placed in say a generic "Northern Europe" location, and what happens in the months in between fall of Tunisia and Sicily?

So no, what-ifs aren't the focus of the game, though they can be worked around for individually hand-crafted scenarios (even if a Sealion (say) scenario has to have a false date). But there wont be a Sealion scenario presented in the LC - as it did not happen.

I am not on the LC anymore we are just stringing together scenarios in a campaign.

Also i just found out that there was a motorised company east afika fighting with the italians in somalia during that period.but that was only one company ok.

Also what about the SMG squad for panzergrenadier platoon leaders doesnt make sense at all does it? This makes you lead the attack with the platoon leaders in front.

Or is it this way because of historical accuracy?
