Is it me or do nearly all war games have Americans characters? The only one I can think of with British soldires is Hidden and Dangerous - why are the yanks always taking the glory? My Grandad is always telling me that the Yanks think they won the war and when he sees me playing Medal of Honour he thinks it looks good - until they start talking. And I'm starting to think the same. Whatever happened to English Tommies? Have they been written out of history? Is it offensive to use proper English in a game? No, it's not, and I want to see more games with English cockney, not American. And so does Grandpa.

I remember on the news a few months back that a survey was done about WW2 amoung american high school kids. Most of the kids asked belived Stalin was the man who started the second world war. I wouldn't be surprised if most americans belived they won every major campaign of the second world war, and I think its terrible that a country has almost forgotten a very important part in the worlds history.
The Americans have a very distorted sense of reality.
If you asked them, they would probably say they won the Battle of Waterloo.

Commandos 2 has british commandos in, but I can see what you mean. There is too many war sims on the market now which have you control the navy seals or delta force, but it was only a few weeks ago that the real british SAS had to rescue american soldiers in afganistan(sp?) because the USA's spec ops didn't have the experience.
Its about time we see a british made soldier game I think, it would make a nice change, plus there is a long a colourful history of the british army to work from and do justice to our armed forces for once.
