Thank you. The invasion of Poland should be finished a lot faster now that German AI can use all their planes :)

The title says Torch. Should that be Oak?

I meant to do that :D
 
What? You added a Japanese portrait? Didn't have Japan enough portraits, already? Or is that a democratic/communism guy only? ;)

one is democratic, one is communist ;)
 
I saw you`re lowering the prices of the game after the Steam Summer Sale, and was wondering if that includes the Field Marshal Edition (I was planning to buy that version), if so what would the new price be?
 
Oman and Iraq leaders just so fresh! Can we get them as forum avatars? Great patch.

(Podcat: I know extremely minor but the fact that Ethiopia starts at war with Italy and are stuck on civilian economy pls update to partial mobilization thx have a great vacation.)
