Makes sense.

I had always (wrongly) assumed that Relic would introduce other countries into the game as different commanders. e.g. Poland; Finland; France; Italy; Spain; Hungary; Romania etc It might have had the effect of encouraging their player base to expand more.

Well, the partisans in partisan commander are polish, they use some lines that make it pretty obvious in polish version of the game and to lesser extend in english version.

I don't know about other language versions. They also use same lines and models as partisans in campaign and these are outright said to be polish Home Army soldiers. That's why soviets kill them at the end.

Actually there will never be a good moment for adding a faction. If the game is imballanced most of community will say "we need ballance first", but even if the ballance will ever become good enough to satisfy the whiners (and it won't), people will say "no, the game was in ballanced state before every new faction and it always went to hell so lets leave the game as it is". And yet without adding new factions we would still play sov vs ost all the time...

My nationality makes it clear I would want this addition just so I can laugh and watch the filthy fascists get gunned down like the pigs they are.

I am aware of Anya in the campaign. But that is where she remained. I have to confess I was unaware the Partisan Commander and its acolytes were meant to be Polish. Can you expand on that one for me, please? I always assumed the partisans in automatch were meant to be Soviet citizens.

Chinese. Don't tell me you are going to defend the honor of the Imperial army. I was speaking of the fascists, not the poor people who suffered due to their statist leaders.

The soviet commander during matches keeps saying that "(the partisans) are not Russian,but they will have to do"

So even if they arent Polish,though they are exactly the same as the armia krakovia in the campaign,they arent russian.

Other than the Ostruppen, and Anya, I freely confess I was unaware of any other East European involvement in the main game.

I would need to replay parts of the campaign in english this time to tell you what can be seen in english version. I recommend reading description for mission 11 though.

In multiplayer, apart from "they are no russians but they will do", there is also "russians have promoted us". They also use completely different accent (especially when speaking slowly, its not much different when they shout) and the name pawel (paul) instead of ivan or vasili.

Additionally they never use russian words in their lines. Instead they use some polish words, like "tak" (polish for "yes", they sometimes use "yes" too), when russians say "da" ( russian for "yes").

That's what I found by playing a match in english version of game. In polish version they just speak normally polish while all the other squads in game use some words native to them and special accent.

I thought 'tak' was Russian

Tak (так) is Russian word too. Slavic languages have a lot of same or similar words.


And Pawel is common russian name too.

You know it and I know it, but do you think relic knows it? You can see that they differ, no other squad uses these words. And they also say they are not russian so its out of question. If they were byelorussian they wouldn't say that. And if they were lativian or ukrainian they would fight for the germans... what do you have left?

Also, the word "так" i usually used in different meaning, I never heard or seen it used in russian as confirmation , russians tend to always use "да" for that purpouse (unless it's "так точнo" but that's the idiom, partisans use the word alone like in polish). It's mostly used like english word 'so' ('so cold' <-> "так холодно" <-> "tak zimno").

I haven't played the campaign since release, but I've got to say I was always under the impression that the partisans were Polish, and if not Polish, Czech or Yugoslavian.

But I feel like they were explicitly stated to be Polish, or at least heavily drawing upon the Warsaw uprising and Soviet actions.
