You should rename him Carius or Wittmann......well done. Let us know if he survives the entire campaign.
I vividly remember one of my SP1 campaigns 22+ years ago. I had managed to build up an experienced German Kampfgruppe with good tanks.....got to Jan 1945 and the AI unleashed hell from the sky....I restarted it three times and every time it decimated everything I had built up.... quite humbling. I love this game ( but that should be obvious

)
