BG SMCs already have nationality appropriate names. I even "solved" the black SMC naming thing... sort of.This would work for quite a few I would think.
On the other hand, someone could check with BG and see if he can drum up support for a nationalities production of actual names for each country or I am sure that there is a way to print your own and make the counters/ names that you would like to see. I know people have done this last one with quite a few variants.
So you don't want a Trump counter?so true.....but one day.....one day when all this is over and Donald Trump is no more than a vaguely worn old joke......
Hopefully, yes.Am I the only one who feels this way?
You have no idea how long history's memory is...we still read Herodotus...Trump's internet posts will be reading material for eons...this is the horror, the horror, the horror...use the Col. Kurtz voice....Oh and to stay on topic is that okay as a SMC name? Or b/c it is a war not yet in ASL is that NA? I am sure a Kurtz served somewhere in WW2 for a couple of sides of the coin...so true.....but one day.....one day when all this is over and Donald Trump is no more than a vaguely worn old joke......
Ahem, the Heer also. The Heer had the LVF as the 638th IR before the SS got them.French last names on SS SMC are equally valid.
One thing that slightly annoys me in our beloved game is the frivolous and non-historical naming of SMC for some nationalities.
The Russian one is probably the worst....all these "Russianised" names of American ASL players.....(a hero called Nixoniev, a leader called Fortov) but there are many other nationalities suffering like this.
I like the idea of folks doing a lot of work on the game to get their own counters, but I would prefer if they were limited to nationalities where such names actually exist and would be complemented by a wide range of real names.
I somehow think it diminishes our game's respect for the men who wore those uniforms and sacrificed their lives in the war, for whatever nation called them to arms.
I am not a person driven by PC at every turn, but I do really enjoy putting Sgt Meier or Captain Turnbull on the map. I do not really like having silly names on my key counters.
Am I the only one who feels this way?
The ex-president of the Russian Academy of Sciences will be crushed to learn he’s actually an American. At least now Putin can claim the ouster in 2017 was justified.
I do have a leader counter named after me by MMP and I agree completely with him. But we're talking personal preferences here, so he's entitled to his opinion as much as you are yours. It's not like anything will change.You're just bitter because they haven't named a leader counter after you.

I use to have that game.As silly as Connerski sounds, still better than the system they used for naming the counters in SPI's City Fight....

I'd be bitter if they made a 10-3 counter with my name on it.
Everybody knows that somehow these always seem to get hit by the first Sniper...
