No, allow me to simplfy everything for you... I would like to see the Confederacy added as a country for IL2 that pulls uses the history of the Confederate (Commemorative) Air Force to give a sense of historical basis. There are a million and one possible plausable historical ways for the Confederacy to make it into the sim as a country. That much should be obvious with all the different scenarios that everyone has posted here. Here's how I should of originally stated the post.
Let's add the Confederacy as a country for IL2, but since there are so many ideas, let's pull from the history "Confederate" organizations today. This will allow a baseline for the Confederacy that people can build into anything they want, hence the request for it to be on both Red and Blue sides. Here's how we should add it to make the baseline:
1. Pull from the history of the Confederate Air Force for the name of the air force of the Confederacy and the basic roundel scheme.
2. Pull from the Confederate States of America today and their flag, the Third National Flag, or the "Blood Stained Banner."
3. Pull from modern Confederate military awards from various organizations. The medal for the Military Order of the Stars and Bars as issued by the Sons of Confederate Veterans for the basic award. The Cross of Military Service from the United Daughters of the Confederacy for the second highest award due to its decent from the Southern Cross of Honor. The Confederate Medal of Honor due to its link to the Medal of Honor of the United States of America.
From there, the Confederacy could be made into anything from Turtledove's vision to mine or something in-between.
