I'm an Italian and I think even 2 units of Italians is over doing it.

Many countries participated on the axis side, not just Finns and Italians, even if they were the primaries. If you're going to include one or two foreign units, you're stuck providing a foreign unit corresponding to nearly everyone's wants due to patriotism.

Well, I just dont want a french volunteer unit in the Ostheer, by as you said, patriotism... Dont want to see french traitors and murderers in the Ostheer.

At first, I though it was a real news. But I also realized 10 seconds later that it was the 1st april...  :P  ;D

I was speaking in reference to people whom belong to a country that participated on the Axis side of WWII.

Does that make 'em less murderers?

I shall remind you guys that this is just a game. Let's avoid this kind of discussions that doesn't bring anything productive. Every nation committed war crimes however, it doesn't matter because this is a game forum, not a history one.

About the foreign units, if devs change their mind and decide to bring finnish or italian support to EF, that doesn't mean the other axis allies ought to be there; Devs have the last word about what will be included and what not.

Completely true, so there was no need to start talking of "patriotism" of axis countries: it's not like these fought for independence or were attacked, right?
Or maybe nowadays "civilized" european "patriotism" extends to enslaving or exterminating other nations?  Well, I wouldn't be surprised!

ADD-ON:
To any moderator: if you do remove it, which you well might, don't hesitate on removing the post(s) that caused this one. I guess, I made it clear to how and why these are offending.

If wouldn´t have put in mice and sturer emil it would be much harder to realise

If we hadn't put those in, people would seriously believe it being real, which is not always the best thing. They may then expect this, and then be disappointed that they are not there.
