And anyway it matters what's inside the box, not the cover.

And what's not in the box, judging by Pacific.

Ha ha ... good one. i just sent for my replacement parts.

Canada didn't even have the flag they do today until the fifties, right?

Or the Germans? Or the Americans? Sorry, but I disagree; if your cover depicts the flags of nations at war in Europe in WW2, Britain should be there. And it really doesn't matter if *we* know what the Union Jack looks like, or who did what in the war - not everyone who walks into a gaming store knows world history.

There is literally no reason for the box to omit a major power. None at all.


There isn't a reason to omit it, but I could personally care less about its absence. I'm going to enjoy the game no less, regardless of what flag is and isn't on the cover. If you really are going to make an enormous deal about it, write to WotC, see if that'll help.

Well, I was talking about it officially. After June 1940, France was no longer at war with Germany.

Doesn't mean all Frenchman around the world just stopped fighting.

I seriously doubt they'll change their designs because I complain.

And I'm not making an "enormous" deal about it. This is a thread about the box art for the game, so posting a couple of opinion points here is hardly making an enormous deal, is it?

Well, most Frenchmen, and Poles, and members of other occupied countries who got the chance to fight on conventionally did so because another country continued fighting without being occupied. Who was that country? It's on the tip of my tongue... ah... nope, it's gone. Airbrushed away.
