It only matters if you look at the logic of the game - and frankly a lot of US military and government officials had very little logic

if you want to design a game at least make it one where the US doesnt behave stupidly in order to have the scenario occur

i.e. throwing away three divisions uselesly to Yugoslavia when at the time they left the Mexicans were rampaging north thru the Southwest and then allowing a division that is supposed to go to Texas to stop said Mexicans not join the offensive thus dooming it tofailure

actually surprised that after seeing both those events that MilGov didnt do what probably would have been done in real life - declaring CivGov to be sabotaging the US war effort and allowing US citizens to be put under foreign rule by an enemy invader and taking out CivGov right there and then

and for the record I dont mind the US getting their butts kicked - hey it happens no matter how good you are - the guys on Wake were all professionals - and they lost - the USS Houston was a great ship and they went down anyway

what I do mind is acting stupidly in order to have the game work

having those divisions stop the Mexicans cold in order to show CivGov actually can protect the American people makes a hell of a lot more sense than sending them to Yugoslavia to somehow build up US morale while Texas and Los Angeles are falling to the Mexicans
