Commanders issue
Posted: Mon Dec 02, 2019 8:32 pm
Changes to the positions of army commanders in the Allied forces were not included.
The case concerns:
1st US Army, where General Omar Bradley is shown as the commander throughout the entire game, while he commanded the army until the end of July 1944, when he was promoted and became the commander of the 12th US Army Group. General Courtney Hodges became the next commander of the 1st US Army and remained until the end of the war.
8th British Army in Italy, which in 1943-45 had 3 commanders. General Bernard Montgomery commanded it from El Alamein, in Tunisia, Sicily and Italy until the end of 1943. At the end of 1943, General Montgomery was transferred to Britain to begin preparations for Operation Overlord. Command of the Eighth Army was given to General Oliver Leese. During October 1944, Leese was reassigned to South East Asia Command, and General Richard McCreery replaced him.
I hope it won't be a big problem to make these changes, so that new names will appear as commanders
