Got to talking about this with a friend of mine, so figured I'd make a topic about it. There's an ongoing joke about wargames having more tiger tanks on the covers than the Germans ever got to field, but how true is it? So here's how the thread will work: List a set of rules that hasn't been mentioned yet and whether the TITLE references a specific nation (f.x. Panzerleader is obviously German while Nuts is referenced the Americans) and whether the COVER ART depicts soldiers or tanks of a particular nationality. Board games and mini's games are both fair game.
I'll start:
Crossfire: Generic title. Soviets on the cover.
Chain of Command: Generic title. Germans on the cover.
Five Men at Kursk: East Front title. Soviets on the cover.
Squad Leader: Generic title. Germans on the cover.
Panzer Leader: Germans in title, Germans on the cover. |

Interesting topic. It would be good to make some statistics about it.
I have heard that a picture of hitler may influence sales by up to 10% on books.
German may well dominate a hey tend to have fought all comers? "PBI" British acronym for "poor bloody infantry" as the focus is on the work that the infantry did in WW2.
