Why rip off other companies work when he could honor post-ers on this fourm? Ultimately the decision is Firestorms but he should be creative and not rip off other peoples work.
three words: Rule of Cool

Who gives a crap about the rule of cool? Why must everything be cool?
Because this ain't real life. In our fantasies everything is by definition cool and awesome.
My fantasy is serious strategy and annihilation. Tactics, planning. And maybe after everythings glowing green or I've wiped out a panzer group I'll crack open a beer and announce that that was awesome. Its just my prefrence but I don't want someone sweeping around in a leather cape shouting one liners. I want someone who gets the job done as it should.
A military leader named after someone elses work is a rubbish idea that shows a lack of creativity which counter acts the whole 'acting out you fantasies' thing because its not you imagination you ripping off someone elses and are pretending it is.

god, calm down. you don't need to rant on the extreme awesomeness of Andrew F#cking Ryan being a minister in a war- and disease-ridden US.
the fact is, you don't need to rant about such a stupid matter. It's just an AAR for god's sake.
besides, it's Firestorm's AAR. It is up to him as to wether the american commander will be Vincent Van Geyte, Andrew Ryan, Darth Vader or Mahatma Gandhi for that matter. And if you dislike his choice, you're free to go read another AAR you like.

Everything has to be cool because cool stuff is awesome. And awesome stuff is cool.

Sorry, I could not resist . Personally I think it might sound a bit cheesy after a while to make our names a head character for DMLL. We'd settle for a cameo and some fan service though )
right, first of all its about time i freaking got to the last page. taken a good 3 days or so to get here from the first and thats only through reading your posts and any other posts linked to them fire. as many have said great AAR an im about to embark on part II of this. personally i feel you could of won europe if one) cool hadnt lost his cool (proud of that one ) and nuked moscow which caused the nuke ping pong battle which caused Great Britains surrender and two) Great Britain surrendering wasnt all that bad but joining the axis turned it around for the worse had britain just surrendured into some kind of neutrality you probably would either won or saved more units.
anyway big long no end of lines up there finished thanks.
p.s. managed 10 hours straight on the first day which got me to page 100
