What If...Rommel had Commanded?

Post by eddieballgame »

A simple experiment switching out Luttwitz for Rommel.
A 'what if' scenario using 'On to Dinant' as the test run.
Place the 'On_to_Dinant_what_if_Rommel' file in the 'ardennesscenarios' folder.
Load the game & then load the scenario.

Rommel would be calling AH often to ask to halt the folly of an offensive because of lack of resources and unreasonable goals.

Considering a few of 'ah' generals agreed with you...I concur.

Are you sure about this ??
Romell committed suicide on October 14, 1944, after being seriously wounded on July 17, 1944
Any sources?

Yes, his forced suicide 'option' is a matter of record.
That is why it is a 'what if' he was not requested to do so & was still active.

Considering how often Rommel was Mr. "Lack of Resources and Unreasonable Goals" - especially in North Africa- I'm not so sure.
