Thanks for the great link, and thanks to Paradox for the interview!
MGO: Some examples of the above would be Von Paulus not being allowed to retreat from Stalingrad and the ridiculous "hold all ground" order and The Battle Of the Bulge". These were all orders that had profound consequences for the axis, will they be part of what a player has to put up with playing as the axis as in Europa Universalis, you have "temporary insanity of monarch"? (I know they are very different and will be implemented differently, but am using this as an example from Europa Universalis)
Henrik Fåhraeus: No. In HoI, a human player basically usurps the double role of Commander in Chief and Head of Government. For Germany this can only be a vast improvement. (Joke)
