Yes, I exagerated a bit.
History and casualties proved that the decisions the French, British, Finns, Romanian and so on took, were the right ones, while the brave, desperate and bloody way the Poles and Serbians had chosen was the wrong one.
There was disappointment about letting the Axis take the initiative and not intervening. The neutral east european states witnessed the fate of Poland and were threatened by the Axis and the Soviet Union. Probalby every country would have thought first about the own population. I don't want to be in the situation to take such decisions and I'm glad that those people took them and were right. Sometimes it's healthier to retreat and it is alright in our culture in contrast to Japan in WWII for example. Though for me it leves a bitter aftertaste.
Back on topic:
It would be nice to play battles like "Could have the French and British Army stop the Wehrmacht?". It is not realistic at all, i know. But we already have maps which mostly end up contrary to the historical outcome.
But before I get to play the French Army I would like to play the Finns. Not as part of the German invasion but the Winter War.
