Well, now that I've built a giant statue of myself (And a bigger one of the emperor, of course) in the occupied Balkan territories, and everything here seems to be going smoothly, I request permission to be given a submachine gun and go shoot some British in Africa.

I wish more FPS games had a German campagne in them 
A little off topic but, here's my idea:
- You know how they often have you as one charactor per nation? Well, how about several charctors? A luftwafe pilot or two, a Kriegsmarine sailor, and of course, a tank driver and two infantry (one in North Africa/Italy the other in France/Russia). (and maybe one or two more)
- Good quality map editor/scenario creator for both single and multiplayer
- Ability to add custom campaigns to the campaigne list (in COD you have to use the console, which can be annoying)
- Invasion of Poland, Norway, France, Russia, North africa, a few sea battles, battle of britain, getting out of africa and retreating through italy, retreat through France and Russia.
- Also then there are the allied charactors and campaignes, including but not limited to Dunkirk, Normandy (Juno Beach), liberation of holland, Italy (especialy Ortona),
- expansion could add a few of minor ones like Norway and Holland
- graphics like in COD2 or better, with bigger maps (level depening)
- campaigne multiplayer (don't know if it would work so well in singleplayer) mode where there is a bit of story but the outcome of the battle determnies the next map, kind of a what if.
That would be a sweet game. Heck, I would pay $100. Well, maybe not but you get my point.

"Casualties many; Percentage of dead not known; Combat efficiency; we are winning "
~Colonel David M. Shoup
Hearts of Iron II German AAR - Written by the Victors
August 10th - October 5th, 1942
Like Moscow and Leningrad, the city of Stalingrad was expected to fall quickly and easily. Like the former cities, it had been surrounded quickly and effectively, all was needed was a final strike. When Rommel led the assault, he believed that the main fighting would be over a week later and the city in German hands.
He was wrong. The Russian defenders quickly took advantage of fighting in a city environment for the first time in the war, utilising snipers, guerrilla tactics and the debris of the wrecked buildings against the Germans. Tanks were near useless, and once initial momentum was lost the regular German infantry found themselves in a hellish environment, where there was no proper front line.
Russia halts the German advance
As such, the first assault came to an undignified end on the 13th August, but the Germans did have a foothold in the city. Undeterred, Rommel ordered a second attempt at flanking to the north of the city, and the German war machine rumbled into life once again, beginning two months of broad-front offensives all the way up to the Moscow region. There were fresh attacks on Stalingrad, some an attempt at conquest, some to prevent a Russian breakout, but none managed to achieve any form of major penetration. Indeed, so far not one point of the Volga could be breached.
Elsewhere however, there was good news. In Africa the western side of the Suez Canal was reached, though the British still retained control over it. This meant that any direct amphibious assault across the channel could be easily repulsed by the Royal Navy.
Together with Italian forces, an operation was planned to launch an assault at Gaza, capturing the region behind enemy lines. From here the Germans could launch an attack towards Suez, while the Italians assisted their allies in Lebanon and Syria - both at war with Britain.
The Germans prepare to land behind British lines
The operation (beginning on the 2nd September) was a success, with Gaza falling with little resistance. Following up on that, however, was more difficult. German forces managed to capture El-Arish fairly soon after the landings, though an assault further south proved more difficult, even cancelled at one point, thanks to British defences. However a second attack in late September proved more adept, and German troops were on the move once again.
Meanwhile, after giving the country up for lost, Germany discovered that her allies in Finland had halted the Russian advance at the capital of Helsinki, and indeed were advancing up the western coast. As such Emperor Kan gave permission to release the northern reserves in another offensive to assist the Finns and reclaim territory lost in the German withdrawal. It was a complete success, and by mid September the Finnish borders had returned to pre-war status. That did not mean they were going to halt their advance, however.
For the Germans, however, it was a more difficult question. Stalingrad was surrounded, but the Primary Objectives of capturing it and the Caucasus had failed. The first snows of winter were falling, manpower was low, but could they afford another winter of holding the panzers back?

Ah, finally I get some fun! While you people are stuck in the cold, dark, damp city of Stalingrad, I'm killing the British here in Africa! So far, 23 confirmed kills (I saw their bodies after I shot them, so I was sure they were dead) and another 10 not so sure kills (Bloody British trying to get their dying comrades away from the front lines! How am I supposed to keep an accurate count with that sort of thing going on?)
Onwards! The British shall crumble against or military power!

hmm it after looking at our situation i've figured that if we could spare any troops an invasion of spain would be extremely easy
Spain has a terrible army, and after we defeat them, we could put a puppet government in and we'd have spain agree with us whenever we wanted
plus we'd have an extra ally

No, any extra troops we have should go to the eastern front. We've gotta beat Russia before their manpower advantage takes effect.Captain2 said:

Spain is all set to join us, I will not declare war on a nation that we have such good relations with. I will probably get them to join the Axis after the fall of Suez.
Omega, glad you're having such fun in Africa. It is very difficult for me to be so far away from the front, sitting in my office in Berlin with the fire blazing and sipping on some brandy. Just writing my memoirs and going over the latest reports...
But no, do not despair, for I will persevere, I hope you don't suffer too much under that blazing sun

Captain Supplies for Sealion are at maximum. They just need to be returned from Russia. 
Dionysius You can join in if you like. And so far the Japan-US war is fairly dull. The US grabbed a couple of islands, Japan invaded the Phillipenes, the war in China is at a stalemate. Nothing exciting, which is good for us.
Omega You have no idea! Why, I was woken at 9am to hear of sudden developments in southern Russia just the other day. And I ran out of bubble bath. I don't know how I can possibly cope!
