I will be posting my personal opnion on the accuracy of different operations and such, so here we go.
1939
this is actually surprisingly foolproof. Battle Of Belgium should have had generic British and French generals instead of Monty and Gamelin, but it is more or less accurate.
As for the Balkans, where is Kleist? Kleist played a major part of the Operation in The Balkans, yet he is nowhere to be found. The Balkan Star Missions have Belgrade WAY too close to Macedonia. In Balkan Campaign, Sarajevo is two shakes of a lamb's tail away from Tirane.
Operation Mercury...sooooo....The paratroops in the west failed. Yes, that is historically accurate. You should get Student as well, and you should get a couple more infantry units (Pioneers) when capturing the Maleme airfields. There should also be an airfield called Maleme lol. Student saying that British troops are retreating should only happen after taking at least 3 objectives.
Battle Of Crete: You are Marshal Freyberg in this, except you didn't retreat from the airfield at Maleme. It is hell. You should have generic British commander to pose as Freyberg himself, and there shouldn't be any naval units. There will be solely paratroops until the enemy caps an airfield, then all the reinforcements come in.
BTW, Chania is actually Khania

1941 Part 1 Winter War Why does Timoshenko come in so early? He should also be attacking in the south, not at Joensuu. Operations Uranus-Little Saturn I'm sorry, but the pincer movements feel weird in this game Battle Of Stalingrad You should start off with Malinovsky in the south, then gain control of Voronov and Chuikov farther north, and then just have Zhukov assist you as AI. Zhukov only got involved at Operation Uranus, not the actual defense of Stalingrad. Battle Of Kursk They have the nerve to label Belgorod, but not Orel? You cheeky bastards... Leningrad Offensive Why represent minimal gains at Leningrad? You didn't even get to break the siege! It was Bagramyan who massacred AG North during Bagration, and Rokossovsky who fought one of the most bitter wars in East Prussia. of course HangryBird will have something to say about this series lol. Good job for making one of your most detailed games yet EasyTech. |

I don't see anything objectionable yet. Good work! I never thought I would feel so accomplished with an actual compliment from HangryBird lol. Now, all I need is to make a guide that impresses Erich von Manstein, and I'll be complete! |

Pacific Allied
Guadalcanal
where is the game of tag in The Slot? All of the naval battles happen very early in a small corner of the map! There should also be Japanese land units landing to try to recapture Henderson Field.
Midway
Japanese land troops never managed to land on Midway. There were more than 3 US Carriers in action, so you should get a second one. The amount of surface units are overwhelming. This was mainly an air battle. I say a larger Japanese fleet to escort the carriers, and a smaller one for the US.
Tarawa
for a 5 sq. mile atoll, it is quite large. There was a massive amount of casualties for an early target during the fighting irl, but my units were never in serious danger of being wiped out. The only thing that was problematic was beating all Japanese units in time. Make the Japanese AI more ferocious. Only one unit truly went out of the way to attack me. In order to balance that out, you should get some more units. After all, numbers and the grit of the USMC is what won the US Tarawa, not skill.
Truk Lagoon
This is actually more or less historically accurate. I honestly have nothing to say about this.

At midway the U.S had 3 carriers, the Enterprise, Yorktown, Hornet Yes and No. They had three fleet carriers, but there were several more, minor, light carriers. These light carriers are not really portrayed in ET Battles, sooo... |

I'd also mention that actually Messe commanded Italian army in Stalingrad battle, while he isn't present in 1941 campaign.
