For Poland.
New factions is something that a large amount of people ask for yet so many have said, Poland would be rubbish, it could be worse, they could have added Poland.
What's with the hate.
People seem to think that they were useless. They were invaded by over 1million Soviets, 1million Germans and a few hundred thousands Romanians. They managed to inflict better than 1 to 1 losses against the supreme Luftwaffe with severly outdated planes and their tanks that could do Tank v Tank capacity thrashed the Panzer 1s, 2s and to some extent the 3s. They just couldn't cope with being so massively outnumbered.
(on a side-note they had what was widely considered the best medium bomber at the start of the war)

Theres no specific 'hate' for Poland, but besides their invasion, they had little to do with the war (at least less than the factions we see in RUSE now) adding it over Japan would seem ridiculous to everyone (despite the fact that this is a western theater game) because Japan showed a much more active role than Poland did.

1.Polands(or is it Polish?) army was SO outdated(They used cavalry against tanks lollol)2. Pnazer I was armed with machine guns. it was easy to take out. And btw panzer III wasnt used in poland, they used P38(t) tanks there... and poland just sucked.
3.When red army started its attack, polands loss was sure before it started.

Actually in the African campaign Japanese ships helped Vichy forces particularly in the Battle Of Madagascar (another battle no one knows about because the thing that's forgotten is that it's not fighting for anything other then to protect oppressed colonies!) but nothing else.

Poland's entire military budget for the years 1935 to 1939 was only about ten percent of the Luftwaffe budget for the year 1939 alone.

All Polish planning for war with Germany was based on a defensive retreat, with the aim of holding out until the Allies (particularly France and Great Britain) attacked Germany from the west.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_betrayal

" In case of war with Germany, France promised to start minor land and air military operations at once, and to start a major offensive (with the majority of its forces) not later than 15 days after the declaration of war."

"On May 4, 1939, a meeting was held in Paris, at which it was decided that the fate of Poland depends on the final outcome of the war, which will depend on our ability to defeat Germany rather than to aid Poland at the beginning. Poland's government was not notified of this decision(...)"

Now let's think who didn't do his part of job...



Should Poland be in this game? Nope.
Should France be in this game? Even bigger NOPE.

Poland got RUSEd... Apparently Hitler made a big show of marching in troops. Then he snuck them out at night and marched them in again the next day LOL.

Just to confirm to people.
I do not think Poland should be in the game, just that people shouldn't think that they were useless.
