It's my understanding that Hitler promised his generals and admirals that there would be no war until 1946, the reason was to give German industry time to complete things like the planned German fleet which was supposed to be much larger before the war started. this was especially true about the submarine fleet which was supposed to be over 300 boats at the start of the war. snice the war started early there were only about 60 available. think of the havoc that could have been caused if they had 300 for the opening of the war. Of course nothing happens in a vacuum and it is entirely that that allies would also be far more prepared also. So this is like all what if possibilities. would the Germans have been aware of the t-34. would they have had jet fighters in full production, would the allies have ramped up production, would they have figured out the poor qualities of the Sherman and british tanks and had better ones in production etc etc. But the great thing about this series of games is the ability to try out what if's. Patton in the east is a great example of this.

I have been a big(BIG BIG) fan of this whole series of games as well as the combat command series. I have several questions. 1. will there be a campaign based on the Germans not starting the war until 1946 as originally planned. or will the game support doing such a campaign ourselves. 2 how does one become a beta tester??
