And I go back to my first choice: plain tricolor.

You make an excellent point. Though MWIF Product 1 won't have scenarios that start after the tricolor came into use, Patton in Flames will. It should be added to the list of flag choices that ship with MWIF.

No option for the plain tricolour, considering it's the only one of the options thus far that was actually an official state flag within the expanded time frame of the game system?

Officially the flag of Germany until the Nazis ...

<r> If you're going ahistorical to use the Balkankreuz anyway, might as well go all the way and just have the full Balkankreuz flag, which may or may not be authentic, but is probably more recognizeable:<br/>

You know which one? The black-white-red tricolor with horizontal stripes was official until 1935, and it uses the same color scheme as the actual one in use at the time, so that may be the best alternate.

The nationalist Chinese used what's now the flag of Chinese Taipei.

The ChiComms use the current PROC flag. We missing anything?

BTW, I'd just use the union jack for the CW, all the CW nations had it incorporated into their own flags to my knowledge.

Of course, remember some of those flags have changed since 1940.

<r> well, Yugoslavia had an IOC code, I think it was just "YUG."<br/>

Aha! A quick search shows Wikipedia as usual to be my saviour:<br/>

Standardize on either the ISO 2-letter abbreviations or the Olympic 3-letter abbreviations, inventing to fill in where necessary. A mix is just messy.

Speaking of AARs, I've been away from WiF so long, anyone know where I could find some to read?

<t> I think it was a good choice _for the scale of Third Reich_. Remember that the max strength of a land unit in 3R/A3R was 5 for armor and 3 for infantry. Building a 1-3 vs. a 3-4, say for the UK was a difference between a territorial army and a full mechanized one. Similarly, the Soviet tank 3-5 ...

<t> Actually, that's not even true for 3R. Inf was from 1-3, 2-3, 3-3, or 3-4, Armor went 2-5, 3-5, 4-5, 4-6, 5-6. Maybe 5-5? I don't recall if the Soviets got 5-5 tanks. In some A3R optionals they could, and the Germans had a "Flexible Armor Groupings" optional to use 2-6s.<br/>
<br/>
Of course ...

<t> I was a pretty serious A3R player back in the day; my group were playtesters for the research system that ended up being part of Rising Sun. I also tooled around a little in Third Reich 4th edition. 3R4 was clearly an inferior game to either A3R or WiF. It had pretty seriously restricted action ...

<r> 1. Have you played cardboard WiF sufficiently to play independantly?<br/>
The answer was at one time yes, but it's been 10 years since I played WiF, so sadly not any more. In fact, I've been waiting for the PC version so I could play again.<br/>
