I like the idea, not all of it but I don't know all the technical mumbo jumbo as far as balance goes either but the idea of replacing the Henschel run sounds good. The blitzkrieg mod uses the Focke-Wulf 190 for strafe and bombing runs which is a nice addition in my opinion especially on the Eastern front where the Germans had air superiority for the most part.

Did you guys know what Flaks are for? Flak = Flugabwehrkanone = AA. That means that they weren't made to destroy tanks & infantry. They were made to stand behind the lines and hold of planes which are incoming. Only the PE base flaks should get elite armour. The others not.
Oh thanks, but they also had an impecable record as being used as artillery and in the anti-tank role in every theater the Germans fought in.

I know there are other soviet blob cures but this one sounds like a good idea.

Since when did a topic on the royal wedding turn into a huge communist circle jerk?
Good for them, have no interest in the actual ceremony though. They'll be divoriced in a couple of years anyways.

Greetings icarusfoundyo!
I got (EF1.3.1) up and running yesterday. I haven't had a chance to play the game but I hung around in the lobby long enough to listen to your tune.
You did a good job with the theme. It has that nice pastoral intro and modulations in your build-up to the Crescendo. And the Crescendo didn't get too loud. (My wife goes nuts when that happens). Something sounds weird when the tubas (?) come in. give it a listen.
Very evocative as a praelude to battle. It sets a good tone to start the game in.
BTW what do you play? Me, I play the banjo, and a little Cajun Accordian. I play Old Time Stringband Music and Sing American and British Folksong. I am partial to music and songs from the 20's to 40's."Don't quit your day job"
Enigma
Skillet Lickers? Earl Scruggs or Lester Flatt?

"Lilli Marlene" is a WWII vintage song that was beloved by Brits and German soldiers alike. It is not a march. It is not an Orchestral tone poem. It is a soldiers song. Its a melancholy ballad, sung by a sultry voiced femme. A little schmaltzy. It evokes the image of a desert rat in his foxhole swatting black flies and thinking of home. It evokes a freezing pioneire in the cellar of a burnt out farmhouse; in his pocket is the squads good luck charm, a spare bolt for his MG42. It evokes approaching battle.
This is the music Ostheer needs in the lobby before the game starts!
Theres a lot that should be played. I like the idea of Lili Marleen too but there are other more...for lack of a better phrase serious and warlike song.

IJoe you're probably right. I'm just an ignorant Yankee who has no clue about Russian war songs except if they sound good. 
Although, I do like GodLikeDennis's version.
we all are. Sounds good thus far though! Will there be any music yet intended for the Ostheer?

I hate playing and that one last soviet soldier left alive in the squad is capturing a base behind my lines. AI doesn't do a very good job at refitting squads after they retreat. I also hate the soviet sniper ace and team when used effectively.

most ww2 games, u usally play against the axis. i always wanted to play as nazis. 
It is an interesting perspective for World War Two games. I wouldn't say Nazi's but in general the Germans are very fun to play as in many games.

Ah; And one question; Why converting 85mm gun into 88mm gun?
Germans had captured a lot of munition and guns at the eastern front. Supplying the captured weapons wasnt the biggest problem.
III reich didnt capture much 85mm ammo becouse from march 1943 there was no major German offensive that they won.
But the whole idea of a T-34/88 is one of the worst unit suggestions that Ive read so far.
To capture ememy's supplies u dont need a "major offensive".
Destroyed enemy tanks were salvaged by german soldiers.
German forces started local counter offensive and hit enemy troops. And so one... Germany army had a lot of munition and weapons of enemy forces - till the end of war 
Sure Germans allways had a lot captured small arms, AT guns, artillery shells, etc since all they had to do is to kill (or make them surrender) all the soldiers in the area. The situation with tanks is different. You usually dont know if the men inside are dead and what kind of damage the tank sustained till it blows up.
Germans usually fired at a tank till it got on fire so captured 85mm shells werent that common.
That wasn't hard, in most of the footage i've seen it was very common for the turret to explode off the tank from the shells exploding inside the turret.

Can't you read? someone was crapping all over the Carcano and I pointed out it was used expertly by a former Marine to kill a president. do you follow?

I don't know the French MAS-36, but I'm sure that our Carcano '91 was one of the worst. Unreliable and often it gets stuck 
I'm sure Lee Harvey Oswald would disagree, thats the rifle that killed Kennedy!
