Well, calling Germans Germans may get under your skin, but calling one part of a whole the whole thing gets under mine. I can see why Dust Studios calls them that, but until there are others - any others - in the mix, they're Germans.

It's like caling a Ford a Car.

No, it would be like calling all of Major League Baseball, The American League.  Even though the National League are in the background, have models already (one anyway), and have a biographical presence, and such, you refuse to acknowledge their existence and insist on referring to Baseball as The American League, while everyone else refers to it by its more proper designation.  Germans are part of the Axis.  Just because the rest of the Axis aren't fully fledged in miniature form (though the Ryu is Japanese, and there are Japanese concepts in the Dust art sourcebooks), they are still present in all the background material.

It's one thing to simply call them Germans, it's another to be militant about it in threads started by other people, particularily new players.  Such things can be very off-putting, as you appear to be forcing your views on new people.

Call them whatever you want, my complaint is with your ranting about it.

What about the Italians and the various other European countries that are part of the Axis bloc? They aren't German. 

And that's my point: The forces available are all German, and i call them what they are. The overall force may be Axis, but the models and current army available is not. Which is the only reason I call them German. Now, when Dust Studios puts in some other Axis forces, then I'll call them what they are! (Hint, hint, hint, Dust Studio, give us another Axis army!)
