Who's the kid no one plays with?

Postby Jock73 » Tue Nov 08, 2011 1:44 pm

Sorry about the title, But it summed up what I wanted to know.

I have read on here or else where, that everyone seems to go googly eyed over the Waffen SS and King Tigers, so they seem to be the most popular kid in school, But who is the kid no one plays with? Or in slightly less silly mode, which faction is the lease popular?

As well as my Russian (Standard) platoon and German (Grenadier) platoon, I wan't to do something rarely seen on the table.

Vichy French have got to be somewhere near the bottom!

Chinese?

Greek regulars?

I'd love a LW Field Division army.

With Göring as patron they likely had all the max factor and blue silk uniforms they could get their hands on :lol: :lol: :lol: They'd be alright in say a game show like...The Third Reichs got talent.

Seriously though I'd quite like the Herman Goring Luftwaffe Division.......but all my German forces tend to be S.S.

Can't say I'd be motivated to have a Romanian army! so that's my vote!

Well Hermann Göring was no Luftwaffenfelddivision. This was something of a NS Elite unit of the Reichsmarschall.

The LW Felddivisionen had been the poor stepsons seconded in 1942 to the army fronts but under LW command. Excess ground crews drafted into Divisions for infantry fighting without proper training and with bad equipment. And worse commanders. Some had victorian time French artillery guns and WW I Machine guns. Those fighting at Eastern front lost 80% of the men in a few months. Just a horrible slaughter of LW mechanics, clerks, cooks.
The rest became Heeres units (L) in September 1943.
