Stories from Göring's War Room - A different GER 36
This will be my first AAR, played with the Cold War Tech Tree Expansion on Normal/Normal, DD Arma 1.3 and a few custom events. Note that I will refrain from building IC ingame, but to compensate this I gave me and the AI a small industry boost in the difficulty.csv file. Emphasis is rather on gameplay. Please feel free to comment.

Reichsmarschall Göring
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prologue
It was a short night for him. After drinking quite a lot of his favourite herbal liqueur that evening, his mind gave him some weird dreams again. Like most of the time, he was seeing himself again as the highly-decorated Imperial pilot, dogfighting with the Entente in his Fokker D.VII, commanding hundreds of brave men. His heavy body rolled and shaked while he was having this dream. The crowd cheered his name, when he was given yet another medal, and even the right to govern an Imperial colony.
But suddenly, the voices stopped. Everything faded into black, as he suddenly heard a rough male voice yelling at him: "Herr Göring! Wake up now! You have to get up! Bitte, Herr Göring! Wake up!!!"
Alerted by the man's voice, Göring was immediately wide awake. His torso rose up like a coil spring. Surprised by this, Leutnant von Bonzmann nearly fell to the floor, but managed to barely hold his balance. "Why do you disturb me, Bonzmann?" mumbled Göring. "I have order to take you to the Reichskanzlei, it seems to be important, Herr Göring." replied the stressed lieutenant.
After he was rushed to the Kanzlei, Göring entered the Führer's office. He was stunned when he saw some other important party members gathered around the table.
There were Himmler, Goebbels, Ribbentrop and Hess, and they were all looking at him...
He simply could not believe it. A healthy man like the Führer had a stroke? Adolf even refused to eat meat, and now this end for a man like him, a man determined to write history - what a joke.
"Herr Göring, the Führer has you named as his successor in his political testament. You are now officially the most important man in Germany. As Führer was the unique title granted by Adolf to himself, you are now the Reichsmarschall, the new leader of the German Reich. Von Ribbentrop was named the new Reichskanzler and foreign minister."
The others applauded, as Göring was still astonished by this sudden twist. The next days would surely not be easy for him, neither would the next years be...
