Hello there and greetings from the Traction Wars Development Team!
Some of you may already know who I am from interactions on the forum, but allow me to introduce myself. I am VonMudra, a historian and researcher for Traction Wars, and it is my role to help advise the team on matters concerning weaponry, equipment, visuals, battlefields, and to find documents and/or photographs that will best help the creation of the game.
In real life, I am indeed a professional historian, currently holding a Master of Arts with Distinction, and pursuing my PhD in Polish History. My main path of research therein lies in coming to grips with the mythos and memory surrounding the Polish military and the September 1939 Campaign.
Recently, I got to thinking, "You know, the devs all get their fun updates and Dev Blogs, but what does the Research Department get?" Well, I am happy to say, I have an answer. Starting soon, we will be running a periodic update – "Ask the Dragon" – in which I will answer any and all questions you have (to the best of my abilities) concerning the Second World War.
You may post your questions below, and I will pick a few of the most interesting ones to write thoughtful answers to, with supporting citations. Through this, I can help not only show the inner workings of research and historical understanding within the Traction Wars development team, but also help clear up mis-conceptions and help people better understand the war we wish to represent with this game.
