Comments on the Player Manual

The Beta only still has Poles, Swedes, Americans and Soviets? No British, no Germans, no Czechs, Hungarians, French, Belgians, etc.

And there are German and Dutch troops in Poland - but the Players Manual lacks information on how to play them as player characters.

What the heck? How hard is it after this was pointed out six months ago to add basic information on how to create British, German and Dutch player characters? There is literally a ton of information in the various V1 and V2.2 books on how to create those characters including a whole sourcebook on the British.

That just flabbergasts me - they mention that you can play campaigns in the UK or Germany but have no mention at all of how to create German or UK characters except as civilians??!!! And there are German and Dutch troops in Poland - and there is no option to play them as player characters?

Free League is supposedly creating the game for the T2K community and ignoring huge areas of the existing fan base who are in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands or who play characters from those areas? Let alone they finally bring France into the war as a fighting force - and then no French player characters? Or Belgians who for sure would be fighting with NATO.

I am sorry but that is a monstrous miss - are they trying screw this up?? I mean James Langham is one of the people advising them on the game - how the heck are there no UK player characters?? Why not have a simple blurb that the final release will have information on playing characters for the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Belguim, etc.. Heck all they would have to do is copy the relevant section in the V2.2 and make some mods. But there is nothing that indicates (after months of input) that there are going to be those other characters.

And dont give me any garbage about the original V1 release lacking in information about other nationalities. This is a reboot of a franchise that has all that information in it - all you have to do is take it and modify it. I did it for the Rwandans, Kenyans, LRA and others in my African Sourcebook by using the V2.2 book (look at pages 69-71 of the final release version). And all I had was me, myself and I when I did it - not a whole team of game developers.
