The manual states "approximately 5 km"

I notice an AAR tutorial (Eben-Emael) involves troops other than Russian. What countries can be used in the editor?

There are several countries in the editor, however countries like Benelux only have infantry. I understand that these were only included to show the possibilities of the game. Future editions or possibly mods will add more countries and theatres.

Hello,
ORIGINAL: delusan

I notice an AAR tutorial (Eben-Emael) involves troops other than Russian. What countries can be used in the editor?

The following nations are included atm.:

Benelux (Belgium/Netherland/Luxembourg)
Romania
Poland
Yugoslawia
Germany
Russia

But at this point only Germany and Russia have the equipment you need for full scenarios. Romania can at least fight with Infantry,Cavaly, Fighters and Bombers so they can play some role.

The other nations were included for the tutorial campaign and only have the units needed there.
