I've just gotten my first good look at the latest version RtW-UI 1.1 and just started playing three of the 1936 scenarios in MP(HS) to get a feel for how all of the countries match up.
I'm curious as to how the unit counts, types and locations were arrived at and whether there was any basis in historical fact or if they were just arrived at based on game play and a desire to creating a challenging scenario.
I'm also curious about the relative strength of the beginning infantry units with the French at 17 compared to the Germans and Brittish at 15, the Japaneese at 12, the Chineese at 10 and the Americans at 5! I mean I know the Americans weren't very good at the beginning but I think this range is a bit extreme. Also, I don't think the French infantry was stronger than the Germans and Brittish - maybe in 1918 but not by 1936.
Anyway, I'm hoping Dale is still checking this forum as I'm sure he knows the answer but if anyone else has some info or thoughts that would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,
