Death of leaders

Post by RPKUPK »

Playing Axis vs. Allies Europe early Italian Option: I cornered two British headquarter units; after bombing and combat destroyed them and of course nothing, no report at the beginning of the turn. It would be nice to announce that such and such famous or infamous British or Allied commander was killed or captured.
As mentioned the game needs a little pizzazz!
I am in May of 1942 and I have not gotten any reports on any of MY commanders during battles, far and wide.

What reports would you like commanders to say after a battle?

Ticker tape sound, then short upbeat German musical fanfare.
"This communication from the German High Command of the Wehrmacht at OKW, Wunsdorf:
It is announced that British Major-General Barry was killed at his headquarters captured in the Midlands of England today during Operation Sea Lion.
For this accomplishment General Karl Ernst August von Reichenau (veteran of Belgium and France) received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross from the High Command."
Commander combat rating is now 8.

Ticker tape sound, then short funeral dirge music.

I like it. Perhaps a shorten version can be done in the turn report.
