Hi, I'm working with the new flags for the new nations. Thfeu58's flags are missing 7 nations that Zedi uses, so I started to add them. Zedi suggested that I post this public so others (especially Gap) can comment this. All results are based on wikipedia search.

3. Lebanon - was part of France until 1943 and then got independent and got it's own flag that is used today.
4. Morocco -was divided between France and Spain during war years. They both have different flags, so I'll have to pick the other.
5. Algeria - was part of France, the correct flag is the basic French flag
6. Namibia - part of South-Africa, was considered as a fifth state, used South-Africas flag
7. Angola - part of Portugal, used Portugals flag
So there are some problems if we try to use actual right flags. I think we should erase Israel altogether, there wasn't anything like that during the war years. There was a British mandate over Palestine but nothing like a real state.
With Lebanon we have to pick either French flag or the Lebanese flag, even if it's inaccurate. In reality it's flag changed in 1943.
Algeria's flag is just a basic French flag.
Namibia is also problematic. Basically it was just a state of South Africa. So either we don't use it all, or use South African flag (But we have already South-Africa in the game, so basically we can left it out).
Angola is pretty much the same thing, it was a piece of land that belonged to Portugal. So either we don't use it or use Portugal's flag.
So, any opinions? If you wan't to use all the nations, I can pick the most suitable flags and add them, I already have the flags. Exception is Israel which shouldn't be in the game in my opinion. I found really easily info on them by googling just "Flag of country" and checking the wiki page.
