Let's not turn another thread into an argument about the Holocaust, its participants, or how it should be depicted in scenarios.

Oh yeah, to call yourself "Pol Pot" isn't exactly showing good taste either? And you can go screw yourself because the Waffen SS were incredible soldiers who faced more danger and showed more valor than you can ever imagine. A great uncle of mine was a soldier in the Hungarian army untill 1944, when the Germans occupied the country. In his village, they lined up all the males and first asked his friend if he would join the SS. He said no and a bullet was put into his head. The next person they asked to join was my great uncle, he said "absolutely." He knew how to speak 7 different languages and quickly became an officer in the Waffen SS. He was dedicated to defending his country and fought hard against communism until the Soviets captured him and bashed his testicles in with the butt of a rifle. War is war, bad things happen, on ALL sides. If you want some war crimes, why don't you look at the "heroic" Allies and their bombings of Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. so don't you say anyone who respects or admires any branch of the Wehrmacht is showing "very, very bad taste." I know if I was in his shoes, I would have done the same thing and I'm certain you would too. I have respect for the fighting men of all nations of the war, even though I highly disagree with some of the reasons their countries were waging war. A joke is one thing, I never said I condone what the Einsatz groups did I just wanted a laugh and to generate interest in this thread to promote my scenario.

Thanks Anzac-
The scenario focuses on Army Group South of the Wehrmacht from summer of 1942 to the end of the war. The first few months or so you are on the offensive trying to take Stalingrad. If you do, you beat the scenario, but its very difficult (probably impossible). After that, you'll be on the defensive most of the time, trying to hold out to buy precious time. If you survive till the end of 1945 it is considered a victory, because of your defensive success have freed up reserves to battle the Allies elsewhere allowing Germany to complete its wonder weapons and win the war. With the events, I've tried to recreate 3 major battles on this front, Stalingrad, Kursk, and Budapest. Although techinically, only "half" of Kursk is covered, Manstein's attack, because the other salient would extend to far northward covering Army Group Center's path, and it is not covered in the map. Other than that, there are plenty of urban squares to make Stalingrad and Budapest interesting, even if they are geographically inaccurate.

Please cool down, MC! I didn't want to offend you in any kind. And your propably right, my username is a sign of bad taste, but thats my mission on this planet, to shock everybody I meet with the words I say, with my thoughts and off course with usernames in forums 
I think you got me wrong, I hate every kind of total ideology like facism, stalinism and so on. And I agree, that for example the air raid on Dresden was a warcrime, too.
But what i wanted to say is, that the SS was a organisation basing on a highly racist and misanthropic ideology, basing on perverted thinking.
You also got me wrong in thinking me to have said, that all the Wehrmacht soldiers where crimes (my 2 grandfathers fought in the Wehrmacht), I said, that some Wehrmacht units did horrible warcrimes, too, and that's absolutely right, they did in fact, believe me or not, thats a part of history.
By the way: The SS was no part of the Wehrmacht, they where a seperate organisation.
Ok, but lets finsh that discussion, lets continue talking about your scenario!

Speaking of Europe in Flames..
One game, after conquering France, I just threw every plane I had at London until it was emptied and then paradropped into the capital. The great expense paid off, and they weren't able to take it back, but on the next turn after conquering London, I got the: "Germany has achieved complete victory over Europe!" message, and then the game ended. I know that was to indicate I won... but all I had done was captured London, this is a bug, right?
