Awww! It would be too bad if you couldn't continue this campaign. It has been very exciting so far. But of course family and work come ahead of computer games.
Haha! We all know what happened there! :-) Yes we do, don't we? :D Lance's side of the story was quite hilarious to read, now I am looking forward to hearing what it felt like on your side. Thanks for writing! its always nice to get feedback, it really encourages me to keep at this. You're welcome!...
An excellent analysis of this fascinating relationship... thanks. I just wish I could see Ludendorff's name in the game somewhere. Seems to me he could be an OHL taking over from Falkenhayn in the same way that Falkenhayn takes over from Moltke. Hindenburg could be a mediocre general who gets buffe...
Hindenburg did not actually do any army-commanding. He was the political "front" of the 8th army and then the OHL, doing mostly representation and political work and providing Ludendorff with a respectable facade of unquestionable seniority.

I will definitely add it my list of must-see places. Thanks for the info. In the game the battle for Aachen has grown o...
93 NM for the EE is way better than what the EE has in that Paradox forum game (they really got trounced badly), so I think you're good :) Any news from the front is appreciated! Even if it's all "strategic front reshapings" or "reverse offensives". Like those Wehrmacht newsreels from 1943-1944 :D I...
My apologies for turning your home town into a battle ground. I have been defending it from those dastardly French aggressors!! Don't fear.. I will keep it in the Fatherland :) Hopefully I will get to see the real Aachen one day... what is there to see there? I have faith in your strong German arms...
My heart sinks when I hear of how your and the French armies are tearing up my home town, Aachen It's such a nice city, but probably all rubble now in your version of WW1.... *tear*
