Forum:Factions and Forces clean-up

Currently we have articles on factions for both the country and the relevant armed forces involved - see Japan vs IJN.

The problem is that the formatting of these is inconsistent, clunky at best and the country and force articles almost always overlap.

I'd like to propose, therefore, a new way of formatting these.

Since, for countries with more than one featured armed force, things like engagements, vehicles and weapons are almost always specific to one particular armed force, ie. the weapons of the US Army are different to those of the USMC, it would make more sense to have them details at the relevant force page, not the country page.

So what remains for the country page? Well, a much slimmer version - just the introduction, with a brief and relevant history of the country - eg. for those countries in BF1942, a brief outline of their IRL actions in WWII - a list of their armed forces, with links to the relevant force pages where appropriate, and perhaps a list of the games they are in. If there are any battles featured in a specific country - like the Western European WWII campaign could be mentioned in France - this could also be mentioned.

Anyone else have an opinion on this? - 14:40, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
