I think the first was the holy Roman empire which formed modern Germany then the second was Germany until the end of world war 1. The third Reich was a sequel that most people agreed didn't need to be made and was just a cash grab and they were out of ideas.

It was a worldwide smash, though. Absolutely killed in Russia iirc

Everytime I see nazi music I just think of that fat sack of poo poo from American History X listening to the local head nazi's lovely rear end recordings or those two girls who hit puberty and realized what their parents were making them sing.

One of these days I'm really gonna have to find out what happened to the first two reichs.

The first Reich was the Holy Roman Empire and the 2nd Reich was the Kaisers Reich until the end of 1918. From 1918 to the nazis there was no "Reich" just a hated government made up of cowards and Bolsheviks according to the nazis

There's a great book on the siege of Stalingrad that is extremely bleak that just keeps getting bleaker and bleaker. Like the Russians are just totally without food or ammo for wide chunks of it and it's all your standard totally overmatched army surviving by sheer determination stuff, but once the counterattack hits and the Germans get encircled, oh man. They didn't have full winter provisions so guys were just freezing to death at their posts, they eat all the officer's horses and the last few weeks of flights there's soldiers shooting themselves left and right trying to get a med evac on the supply planes and tons of injured soldiers just get trampled to death, and eventually the ones that survive capture just get marched to a prison camp and left to effectively starve to death. During that whole time Hitler kept sending them instructions to hold out because an imaginary relief force was coming to rescue them.

There were a bunch of anecdotes about the cannibalism going on in those camps and I'll probably never forget the one about this Italian soldier with this chaplain who ends up protecting his brother's corpse from hungry Germans for a full night before collapsing (and then the Germans had two good meals).

Can we compare the grueling season and constant injury buildup on a team to Stalingrad somehow? The Chargers?

is that good or is it a lovely hack job like a lot of ff ports? i just literally got a new computer yesterday and the vintage i can actually run on steam has expanded dramatically, and getting games for the old ps2 i have hanging around is a roll of the dice if it actually works.

Nah, it's pretty much the same as the original, except with slight better graphics and a choice of og music or some sort of remake. Haven't tried X-2. that may be different.
