[LAW0306]

The reason 5th division is inside Poland is that the Game designers had to find a way for characters to be cut off and behind the lines. Thats the only Reason. As the DC group has spent many hours looking over every aspect of the Game our best Ideas is. That the Designers were a army centric group Of Vietnam veterians with not alot of access to referance materials.(Ie books and computers). Now that we do have the stuff its easy to point fingers but we should not. They over looked the Navy and Marine Corps because they had no Idea how to use them. Same with the Air force. So we as a group are trying to fix this under the version 1 timeline without destroying the game integrity. So look to the future for the Maritime guide (Navy, Marine and Coast Guard) Vehicle Guide (Air force and Army) and our US Survivors guide. We also are working on in the future a Commonwealth forces Guide.

The largest factor now that I'm having trouble with is the US Navy. With over 750 ships in service or going into service this is more navy in size and power than the next 5 countrys navys combined. They also have a Air arm thats as large as 4 or 5 countrys air forces combined and much more advanced. With almost 20 carrier wings and 3 Marine wings (Over 500 aircraft just with the marines alone) . Its just hard to kill them all.

On 2d Marine Division in Europe. A Marine division never deploys by itself. It Goes as a Corps level unit(II MEF)( Marine Expeditonary Force)With 2d Force service support group and 2d Marine Aircraft wing making up the MEF. This is over 60,000 Marines with 200 some aircraft! So there will be small changes.

And on the marines gaining vehicles. Its historic for this to happen every war we(USMC) have been in we have come out with more either we steal/accuire from our other sister services or from the enemey. Expect 2 MEF to have vehicles from every country in theater.
