True that, even some Russian irregulars were women during WWII at that time, but did not last long (either KIA or unit dismissed after a short period of time at the front), i can sort of buy why a female character is in the game. And you're right, it doesn't matter as long as the game is good. As far as story or character go, i want a good story and good character, who they're gonna be intimate with can be sprinkled here and there to give us a glimpse into his or her intimacy. Only thing i hate about that is the whole: hey look! I'm gay! please notice me!
