I remember wondering why the British artillary had pussy American accents before realizing I was playing as a big meltingpot of commonwealth forces (which amounts to Great Britian and Canada). How much cooler would the side have been if they had a cheap knife weilding Gurkha unit and some niggery Maori Battalion guys in addition to the beam-me-up-Scotty engineers.

The voice work for the American side is the best of any RTS I've played, but I found the Werhmacht with their jokey accents and their "I'm going to be a dentist(?) when the war ends!" bullshit highly inappropriate(!).

I will put that forward though, the voice work is brilliant. There's a lot of "Battle Chatter" which you can only hear if you're zoomed in on the units, but the level of detail and interaction between units is amazing. For example: When two Tommy squads are near each other and one gets an upgrade, the other squad will mumble "Why don't we get one of those?" with the original squad replying "Cos you'd blow your bloody fingers off, now quiet!" There's 5 or 6 variations for each unit and it's a bit of a shame as you can't really hear them during normal play. I think these are all downloadable from somewhere though if you're that mental about it (which I am).


Awesome! How close do you have to be? I've played the game as far back as I can up until this point.
