It's a game.We will see in the final game, if such scenes will be often, by which they`ll indeed humiliate Poles, or just seldom, preferably none. It would be sad for such a good game to spoil the fun with unnecessary and offensive in its meaning scenes.

To Baltasar:
You`re used to ridiculous behaviour of German troops, I`m not used to Polish. Mainly becouse every kid likes to play his hero American Ranger or sth, and kill Nazis - game companies use that to their advantage (or maybe the other way around? doesn`t matter, the outcome is the same). My point is, since it`s first RTS presenting Polish forces in WWII, I`m picking out everything which bothers me. At this stage, I simply take all "nasty" scenes in the game as a personal insult like someone on the forum would do that. That`s just stronger than me, I`m not used to it as I wrote. It`s quite likely that if the topic will be explorated by games more often I`ll get over it and say "ah, another lousy historical treatment" meanwhile its terra incognita to me. Although I try not to exaggerate which goes to
Obserwator:
I don`t think the game company had any interest in insulting Poles, frankly every kid playing the game will quickly forget it, or even won`t notice. It`s for schools and teachers to show the history straight, games are to bring entertainment and fun, plus good profit. So you should not refer to it as "6 mln" Poles died just to allow some lousy game developer bend the history and insult them. All in all, CDV also published a nice game before -> Cossacks, which showed Poland as a military empire and had whole campaing based around it.
