RE: New Panzer Battles game incoming ?
The nationalities that were mentioned don't necessarily mean no other countries are included.
After checking some websites and the archives of the Dutch institute for military history, it seems there were Dutch troops at Dunkirk of at least battalion size after all.
Rear Admiral Van der Stad, commander of Dutch forces in the Zeeland province, directed about 2000 troops to the Dunkirk area.
If the next title's going to be Dunkirk, would it still be a "Panzer" Battles title? It would be the second title featuring armored forces attacking a fairly heavily defended area, albeit with no elaborate fortifications aside from coastal forts and with less than ideal terrain for tanks.
For the engine to really show what it could do, a meeting engagement battle would in my opinion be more interesting than Dunkirk 1940 or late Normandy 1944 in the area east of Caen.
