what i think thats stopping it is the fact that it is one main theme, ww2, which could stop it from being as popular, since some ppl arent interested in WW2, but other then that it could be a good game.

Although some people aren't interested (look up facts, read about it, go out of their way to learn about it) in WW2, everyone KNOWS about it. There is almost no chance that you could walk up to someone, mention WW2 to them and get the response "WTF are you talking about". Everyone knows of, and hates Hitler, history (rightly) portrays him as a maniac, and a bastard. Most people would jump at the chance to kick the ass of his minions in any way, shape, or form. So, it's more likely that the WW2 background will sell the game, and not hold it back. There is a small chance fewer Americans will buy it (Maybe they're Looking for a 'Nam game?), but the setting will cause it to sell more other places in the world as appose to an "American Civil War" game. It affected the lives of everyone, in almost every country. So it will appeal to more people across the world then a game centered on a conflict in (just) American history.

So although it MAY sell less in America, you must always remember there are other markets, and since this game is about a war that affected the entire world, people of other countries will buy it too.
