It also fails the "it's a game, let's have fun" sniff test. And the "I only play Germans" test. He's still looking at it from the lens of the CM:SF "why would I want to play the bad guys, they suck" perspective.
That is true of the Syrians - they do suck, no one buys Syrian action figures or grew up reading about the cool camouflage uniforms and weapons and uniforms of the praetorian guard of the Syrian dictator, and the Syrians are a 2nd rate military that are not competitive in game terms anyway. That changes when the bad guys are the Germans, and the number of closet Nazis who want to get their mitts on a Normandy game and play as the Germans will be much higher than the number of guys who want to beat their brains out as the commander of the U.S. 8th Infantry Division slugging it out through the bocage. They want to control panzers and flammenwerferschweppers and other things with unGodly long names that they read about in Sgt. Rock.
