	It was difficult to determine which commander to use in many of these battles. I always tried to use generals in direct command of the battle rather than only involved in planning. Sometimes it seemed pertinent to choose a theatre commander and sometimes a subordinate. If a commander was replaced during the battle or two were in joint command, I separated them with slashes. If you have any suggestions for commanders or battles to add or subtract, I'll change them.

	Brauchitsch was the commander in chief of the German army during Barbarossa; Halder was just chief of staff. I don't think Zhukov works either, at least not alone - he was, likewise, only chief of staff.

	You're right about Brauchitsch, but who do you suggest I use to replace Zhukov?

	Great fun! Might I suggest that if you allow "Overlord" for the Normandy invasion, you should also accept "Zitadelle/Citadel" for Kursk?

	Done.

	you should accept operation avalanche for the Invasion of Italy and operation husky for the invasion of Sicily.

	Done. I've also added some other alternate answers for other battles.
