What the heck? There should be quite a few more American generals in the game, especially since the US kept better Mugshots and Records...

Lets see:
USA Air leaders = 19
USA Naval leaders = 107
USA Army leaders = 386
Total of 512 plus default leaders, how many did you want.

But they don't have nearly as many pictures of the generals has the Germans do. Only one Air general, Arnold has a mugshot. What's up with that?
I know pictures are constantly being worked on, feel free to volunteer to help out. PM VultureGFF

Yes, where is US Marines General H.M. (Howling Mad) Smith ?
But more to the point. Why can't new units come with historical leaders instead of generic ?

Not how I would want it done, which kind of proves my point.
The reason is I may want better leaders on certain fronts, or in certian key positions, or leading tanks rather than infantry. Also their traits must be considered, also their rank.

*COUGH* 1.02 *COUGH*
Expect some 50 new naval leaders and 15 marine commanders in 1.02. Including Holland Smith
Their pictures you will get with 1.03. Deadline was passed when I received the last package.

Ah, but that's the rub, isn't it?
Those skill ratings are assigned with the hindsight of history. For most of the US leaders, their skill was an unknown quantity when the war began.
Even Eisenhower (whose political brilliance was instrumental to the alliance) was a relatively unknown entity except to a select few when the war started.
If there was an automatic assignment feature, to be realistic it should work on the principle of *seniority* -- which isn't necessarily the same as skill.
We definitely need more USMC generals. You can never have too many Marines. Too many swabies, sure, but never too many Marines.
The following Marine commanders are in 1.02
