But when 500 pound bombs & kamakazis only leave a big dent your deck, maybe not such a bad trade off....

| I feel there are 2 types. Tactical and strategic minds, then personality leaders regarding the men under them being inspired, loyal, and going above the norm in combat as a result. Tactical minds I'd pick Manstein, Model, von kleist, Nehring, Maunteuffel, and Yamamoto Via press or within the unit, for personality leaders (real or imagined) towards those under them I'd pick Hausser, Rommel, Yamamoto, Dietrich, Montgomery |
