Wow! The information is lovely, I only have to tweak the game myself, I want to get out of France and into Russia as fast as possible as that's sorta strategic stalemate for a newbie like me even. As far as politics!!! Germany like the rest of us has a high Nationilism. I don't think every German was bad, and I don't think that War had anything to do with economics. He got almost all the original German Empire save it's colonies and Poland. Germany never owned Austria either! He got away with a pretty good deal up till the invasion of Poland, that was just the last step. The Allies finally figured he'd never stop! Thus WW2 Began

yes it is! I'm a newbie! Though I accomplished it with Nuetral Russia and Historical everybody else... and 100% difficulty. I learned in the end with good AirPower and tech it was kinda boring.

Rommel made a name for himself in France. He didn't lead till latter. Though I assumed any such OP against Britian after the initial failure would be 1941. Hitler did see the British as some sort of kin. He didn't want War with them, Churchill denied him. Ironically Churchill didn't like Jews much himself!!! Germany produced many great leaders! Also some brilliant minds; sad that Hitler scared most of them away. I think that Rommel in the assasination attempt during '44 has at least put his name down as not going with the flock entirely. Cost him his life! I would have loved to have seen a Patton/Rommel combo in Normandy<Patton to my mind, never proved himself against that adversary>, I think the younger leader had more cohonas and the type of leadership that would be needed to pull out the impossible. Though the desert is a very different terrain so who knows. Despite German leadership and the great soldiers she armied the Allies caught up in experience, intelligence and learned from their mistakes. Whilst Hitler continually blundered after a failed Sea Lion and losing an atrocious amount of AC. He went after an obsession. I would have taken Suez I wouldn't have sent a detachment to help it along some. I wouldn't have bothered with the Balkans unless I feared their entrance into the War. Russia is a "most do," at some point. I wouldn't have pressured the USA by declaring war, I would have declined any involvement with the Japanese at that point Who obviously didn't benefit Hitler personally...in fact the extra men and materials was a deathnail... Also directing my men towards Caucas Oil and wealth is a waste! I want the capitol, the capitol is always the key.. Like all great Conquorors the Germans join the Ranks of History... And we play, and replay their many possiblities. The highest most accurate,<and fun> version is what we love! We want to relive history and see what could have been done! Though real life has so many variables! Again I reiterate Italy was Germany's thumb if Britian was Russia's right arm.

XP Windows user beforwarned! I had a nasty Y2K problem on attempting to get High Command to work on my XP machine it reset my clock all over the place.
