Greek Army

[MaJ.P.Bouras]

First of all hello to all of you guys who do all this awesome job with this mod.Its been a delight so far and i believe it will be for years to come.So a big thank you for providing us with such and awesome mod.


now on to the topic:
 
I know you are tired from all these months work on releasing the new patch but i felt i really had to ask such a thing.Greek maps with no Greeks? In my opinion it would be awesome to have Greek battles up in the snowy mountains of epirus at 1940 but your maps are also awesome but thats the main problem they lack Greeks. If you dont want to create the whole army at least create a spawn kit on the Greek related maps which has the Mannlicher-Schonauer 6.5mm M1903/14 Rifle and this uniform(far left guy) :

Also there is a Greek created SMG : EPK (Pyrkal) Sub-Machine gun.

If you want to create the whole army though i have more weapons vehicles and planes...but i would be satisfied just with a spawn kit.
Thats all i had to suggest.Please answer me if you have the time

Hi and welcome to our forums Bouras!

Yeah we know about Greek Army and believe me when I say this that we'd just love to have as many armies as possible in FH2 to bring out the always forgotten participants of the second world war but we have two BIG problems which always stops us on our tracks and these are:

1) Voices. As you've noticed, FH2 uses the BF42/FH0.7 voice sets which unfortunately does not include the greece voices. This is a huge stopper since a nation is nothing without their own voices. Unless we get someone who can provide good quality voices for the greeks, then theres no future.

2) Player models. They are always the most time consuming and hardest bit when theres need for new army. This is why we dont have Airborne, Fallschrimjägers, Gebirgsjägers and such just yet. Hopefully we'll get them later.

But its always a nice suggestion and while theres not much to say to it, I just wish you welcome to our forums and fair community.

Thanks for the welcome and for the quick answer. Ok voices aint that hard i can get some Greeks and if they hear about FH2 they will probably love voicing.Now i know that player models can really be a pain in the ... well you know better than i do i guess but i hope you put some work on Greeks.Thanks again.

Well how the development is right now, I doubt there are any intentions to make the greeks since theres a lot more pressing matters and future plans are already made, so at least for now theres quite slim chances to see them ingame. Maybe, just maybe.

[MaJ.P.Bouras]

Ok Then...I'll have my fingers crossed  . *mubling to himself:"Maybe ill start modeling...hell why not..."

Yay , more underdogs 

you know some good pages about greek army?

don`t know nothung about them ,   well in HoI II I deal with them just very short,  does not take much to pwon them with italy,  if you dont act totally stupid

[TheRevoluzer]

As for the Greek SMG, only 10 to 15 were produced 
So it would be wrong, adding it.
It would be better to add the Johnson LMG.

Most of the info needed is in this site: http://ww2greece.wargaming.info/

Something cool to read too: http://www.nowpublic.com/politics/heroes-world-war-ii-greek-victory-over-fascist-italy

Ow and btw...Italy was Forced 6(not quite sure more or less?) kms back to albania in reality till germans poked their nose...They were so afraid of us that when some Greek prisoners (prisoners to the Germans that is) started screamin "Aera" (something like charge) all italians around headed for cover.Greek army had the best training for his resources since every shot had to count.They were so good that comander Dietrich thought he was facing three divisions when facing 400 men at one particular battle.Anyway dont get carried away.

To the topic = Greek resources

So did the WWII Sacred Band like the ancient sacred band? That being they worked, practiced, fought and had sex in pairs?

[MaJ.P.Bouras]

GOD NO!!!Actually there were 3 sacred bands.1 of the ancient thebes who i am glad they are dead ,The other is of the Greek revolution in 1821 were they also died sadly , and those of ww2.Only ancient thebes had butt secks...Good thing only them...

[Captain Pyjama Shark]

Hence we will not say that Greeks fight like heroes, but that heroes fight like Greeks.

But really though I'm always for armies like this to be portrayed.

[Timmay9/11]

Hey Carthage had also an elite hoplite Style Unit called Sacred Band


Yep, Italians screwed it somehow ,  but imagen

Italians againsst greeks on Fh2,     that would mean more italian Stuff and greek

[MaJ.P.Bouras]

Well they messed with Greece thats what they did wrong

[Yustax]

Well they messed with Greece thats what they did wrong

But still were defeated and occupied by germans, italians and bulgarians after Nazi Germany intervention lets leave it at that. Although they did form a cool resistence movement.

A map set during the Italian invasion of Greece would make me happier than the father of a new-born child.
