I understand that it would completely break the continuity of the game and make it more of a what-if when fighting the other factions, but I think Relic should put some more exotic factions in the game. It seems very likely the Italians and Russians (or possibly Japanese) will be be making a debut, but what about Poland or France or China? They are rarely ever covered in games and would make for equally amusing play (except maybe the French).

So what if Poland lost in four or five weeks? That's more than enough time to either make a campaign about their failure, or to make one of the first-ever RTS portrayals of the Blitz where you play as the Germans, crushing the Slovak nation as fast as possible? There's totally potential there.

And besides, why are the Germans so important they get two factions? They lost too...

Can I build a missile defense system to stop Russia's invasion?

Japanese have a unique structures in WWII such as hidden pillbox.

Russians has lot of potential in the campaign mode. They got a lot of history going.

I think some sort of Russian city defence campaign would be very interesting or maybe marines clearing out the Japanese islands.  I suppose the second would require two new factions tho

"Can I build a missile defense system to stop Russia's invasion?"

Poland wouldn't really work. At that time the best part of their army was the cavalry and if you want to stay true to history it would be completely unbalanced.

Well the Polish don't necessarily need to be a playable faction, they can just be a part of a campaign, say Germany's push to the East.
