A nice overview of the nations that folded under the German advances of 1939 and 1940. One thing I felt it was missing was any interesting spins on the minor nations. For example, France, Belgium and the Netherlands are basically the same army; and I know they did use a lot of the same equipment, but I would have loved a little more diversity in the rule set to give me an incentive to buy into the otherwise overlooked nations who fought no less fiercely than Britain and the USA.
