@Army:

Is it me… or is Britain / Commonwealth not represented at all on that boxcover?

Just England’s flag

Just England’s flag

There is no English flag

[Army of Northern Virginia]

There is no English flag

Is that an absolute statement, or do you mean on the box? I’m not seeing anything British at all.

On the box. What do you mean by absolute statement?

[Army of Northern Virginia]

On the box. What do you mean by absolute statement?

I meant were you saying “The English flag does not exist. Period.”

Where is it on the box?

It’s NOT on the box.

[Army of Northern Virginia]

It’s NOT on the box.

Sorry dude. I meant to aim that at Dylan the Canadian.

Does that mean there really isn’t anything British  / Commonwealth at all on the box?!

Not that I can see. When we got the low resolution pic, I thought I saw St. Geroge’s cross, but that was from the German flag and a red background

Wow. Just wow. Britain and the Commonwealth weren’t involved in the European / Middle Eastern / African war. No Dunkirk. No Battle of Britain. No Atlantic convoys. No German bombings. No African campaigns. No Greece. No Malta. No Alamein. No Italian campaign. No Normandy Landings. No Market Garden. Nothing. They weren’t there.

Apparently.

I know.

Have you played a lot of P40 yet?

[Dylan the Canadian]

Okay your right, but look at the Italian flag, it’s modern

[Army of Northern Virginia]

I know.

Have you played a lot of P40 yet?

Not at all, for several reasons: I didn’t buy it (yet). I was unemployed when it came out and it was almost 50% more than anniversary in cost; I have almost nobody to play it with, so I thought I’d wait on Europe and get them together and have a session over a few days rather than try and pull people in for one-side of the game (war). I’m a real ‘the whole thing’ kind of guy.

It’s missing the cross in the middle

You needed to say that

I also counted out 60 something stars. Thats wrong.

On the US Flag? There should only be 48

You guys are reading too much into this, it is just a cover. What would be worse is they just didn’t have the UK in the game, pretended they were American, or even……French!

A cover that airbrushes out one of the major players is a bad cover. It’s not hard to get right. How would people feel if the US wasn’t represented on the cover?

So the absence of  a flag that’s been represented on nearly every Axis and Allies cover makes an entire cover bad?

We know what the Union Jack looks like, we know the contribution the British made to the war, we don’t need to have their flag on every single box cover. And anyway it matters what’s inside the box, not the cover.

[maverick_76]

I could honestly not care less if the US flag was not on the cover.
