Seriously you don't need to scream like that. I've never had save game corruption, and I've been playing this game since it was first released. You have to be constructive.

[REDbEAr1223]

This looks bloody amazing although since its called "Their finest hour" i assume the battle of Britain will be added as a starting point?

[Capryism]

Albania taking over the World, lol, i did that once.

This is a very competent marketing course to include tools of creativity in product. Blizzard's Whorecraft became popular because of this.

It's in the options, there are sliders for counter distance and so on, but believe me, if you don't buy the sprite packs you will return to counters, as they give more information once you've learned what each of them represents.

You can have a communist UK. In order to do that you have to have a communist country invade the UK and install communism.

I honestly feel cheated, you sit there and say custom game, yet you can barely change the political alignment of any nation !

I cant have a nazi US, communist UK, i cant have shit.

How exactly can you call that sandbox !?
