oleg, I know that T34 & KV1 were tanks
and believe IL-2 and Yak 1-9 were planes.
but you have me on Katusha!

For IL-2 check out these links (I'm not Oleg who programed the game, good luck to him )

"Katusha" is a mobile short-range rocket launcher. Even though designed in WWII, it has a relevance to modern times:

Ther is a very good article about why Nazi Germany lost the war in www.wargamer.com . It had more to do with logistics than anything else. Very good read. And some of it could be used in SEIV.

Having a ally that can't fight worth crap is also a downer. One has to choose friends wisely.

Good point. consider the French in WWII, of for that matter Italy during this time frame. In terms of SEIV they would have been lost except for a huge economic base, that was at least a year in gearing up, i would love for a WWII bases scenerio, perhaps in SEV.
