Good post, I too love playing as the Germans. I think the fascination with playing the Germans is due to a phenomenon that has been noted on the Avalanche Press website: 'Gamers love toys'. Especially in the later years of the war, and in hypothetical 1946 scenarios, the Germans get some very cool and very powerful weapons to play with, more so than most other nations. As well as this, the Germans are usually out numbered and often out-gunned, so a player has to rely on superior quality and superior tactics to score a victory. And as you say, the Germans fought a large number of enemies in almost all terrain except jungle. Otherwise, only the British and American forces can really claim such a diversity of theatres to fight in, so the Germans offer some unique gaming challenges.
