The Shattered Eagle
Hello everyone this will be my first attempt at an AAR, playing as Germany in 1944 after five years of tough fighting against the world. This story of the Reich's apparent final hours will be told by the civilians, soldiers and generals who fought and died in their dreams of saving the reich from the Communists and the Allied Forces.
This will be more of a "narrative" AAR but will have many pics as well guiding you all through the progress of the Germany's attempt to save the empire from utter destruction, hopefully I do well in this scenario. Never played as Germany before, so this might be a challenge for me.
Playing on Normal/Furious to start
if alive by 1945 and doing well it will change to Hard/Furious.
I invite all readers to leave their comments, and I will be open to many suggestions for gameplay.
