On EW6:1804 and 1914, we got Tsar Alexander, Tsar Nicholas II, Kaiser Willhelm, and Bismarck. So why on WW2 games we never got Stalin/Churchill? Is there a restriction?

Leaders in WW2 were not military generals, while Alexander commanded the army in field at Austerlitz and was present at Leipzig, taking keen interest in the desicion making. Nicholas was commander in chief of Russian army from 1915 till his abdication in 1917. Bismarck was a Major General. Wilhelm II was made a general in the game because of his obsession with military (he wore military uniform in most of the photographs) due to heavy influence Prussian military culture and his father being a war hero from Austro-Prussian war. |

There's Josip Broz Tito and Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim although they became prime minister (Tito) and president (Mannerheim) of their countries at the end of the war.
There's also some leaders like Fransesco Franco, Phibun and Ion Antonescu who appear in the game but are not buyable (atleast I don't know a ET WW2 game where they would be). Of course Franco wasn't really a WW2 leader since Spain didn't fight in the war.

Weren't churchill the First Lord of the Admiralty which is the head of Royal Navy at 1939-1940? Also The Red Army Operating under STAVKA which STAVKA need approval from Stalin to conduct military operation thus Stalin still control his army although well the General who created the strategy the same happens for Hitler but i'm pretty sure he won't be added. |

Actually, Churchill did do some military planning. He was involved in the planning of Gallipoli and we all know how that went.

First lord of admiralty is political head of Royal Navy. That does not makes him a general. |

It's kinda like saying the President of US=Commander in Chief=General. In the past, there were a few generals that were also presidents (Like Eisenhower), but I wouldn't trust Roosevelt to do any military planning.
