A victory is always possible given the right elements of battle. Hitler could have turned it around, I do believe, had he not locked himself in the bunker and relied on what his generals were telling him. They lied constantly to him and he was misinformed greatly, I believe. I just think it would be a fun scenario to try to turn it around. The 1944 is ok, but theres still too much to keep track of. 1945 scenario would squeeze the battlefield into a small area and allow the player to concentrate on the important things, like survival.

Victory in battle, yes. Victory in that particular war, i dont think so :)
soviet army was at that time battle-hardened, well-euipped & well-commanded machine with great reserves in materiel, manpower and industry behind it.
Germans on the other hands...
here are industrial output numbers:

Wow.

I mean, just, wow.

I think that is what Hitler himself believed, so maybe that's the joke? I hope it's a joke?

In most Paradox games, there is some way to trick the AI, to get lucky, to dig yourself out of a terrible situation. That is how a million Granada, Byzantine Empire, or my favorite, Dai Viet, AARs got launched.

Of course a 1945 scenario would be more appropriate to play as allies or ComIntern. As USSR you can change history by going to war with Japan way earlier and trying to spread your influence much further. As allies you have the option of meeting the ComIntern in Germany - and pushing them out.

I was going to complain about the speed I was downloading the 1.4 patch and how it had me worried about tomorrow. AS it is now forecast to take only 30 minutes or so, I am less worried... at first it was taking 6+ hours.

wow

Wow.

I mean, just, wow.

+1

i mean who could seriously believe hitler could have turned the tide? (i don´t think anyone could have, but HITLER?)

i don´t think that we need a new scenario for 1945. i mean the axis is weeks away from defead and if you want to alter the history as comintern you can also chose 1944.
