Starting at the beginning of each era are we going to see historically accurate divisions with their corresponding officers at the right location on the map?

My opinion on the matter: Even if this is a sandbox experience I think it would greatly help immersion if we had historically accurate starting positions and units from the get go.

There are plenty of books written and documents where the information can be taken

I believe only the 1936 scenario is available at game launch so I think they are going to focus all their effort on it to make it as historically as possible

I thought it was 1936 & 1939 as start-dates? Not that it would matter really.

In my opinion This would be a bit of a waste of developers resources as typically you move your divisions around within the first few days and this goes for all countries i know for sure you had germany in mind when you came
up with this idea but imagine the time it would take to do russia or the uk.

I think a better idea would be Historical division/brigade names even though thats already implemented , i'd like to see it again.
