	Prussia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With the growth of German cultural nationalism in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, most German-speaking Prussians came to consider themselves to be part of the German nation, often underlining what were seen as the Prussian virtues: perfect organization, sacrifice, the rule of law.
		From the late 18th century the expanded Prussia dominated North Germany politically, economically and in terms of population size, and was the core of the unified German Empire formed in 1871.
		Being predominantly a northern and eastern German state, Prussia had a large Protestant majority, although there were substantial Roman Catholic populations in the Rhineland, while a number of districts in Posen, Silesia, West Prussia, and the Warmia and Masuria regions of East Prussia had populations of predominantly Catholic Poles.

		The most politically and militarily successful of the migrating Germanic tribes – the Franks, the Langobards, the Allemanni, and the Visigoths – all abandoned their Germanic languages in favor of the popular Latin spoken by the indigenous populations of the Roman territories they overran and subsequently governed.
		Indeed, the so-called “Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation” founded in 800 A.D. by Charlemagne, a French king of Frankish origin, vigorously promoted the use not of German, but of church Latin as a unifying force throughout a Christian Western Europe that was feeling the chronic threat of invasion by Islamic armies.

	The Wargamer - PC Game Review: North German Plain '85 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		North German Plain ’85 is a depiction of, ostensibly enough, hypothetical World War III conventional battles in Northern Germany.
		I think back to a game by SSI entitled Red Lightning, which depicted all of these components: one of the most entertaining aspects of that was managing the air resources available and delegating them to different roles while dealing with the losses and strain such operations imposed on them.
		I do think such a thing is beyond the scope of North German Plain ’85, but it would have been a nice inclusion if at a reduced level.

	North German Plain '85 PCGamer Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		From the opening moments of the surprise Communist offensive, the fighting is extremely dynamic, the tactical situation is fluid, and NATO's piece- meal mobilization of its resources makes the strategic situation a real nail-biter.
		I consider all four of John Tiller's previous Modern Campaigns games to be first-rate, but I think North German Plain is the most challenging and exciting of the lot.
		Tiller and crew have done full justice to the subject: NGP '85 is a superbly detailed, utterly gripping wargame.

		All of them have helicopter battalions. GRD and Polish units have similar basic organization, with older tank types together with weaker artillery and support units. What surprised me is when I started the game was the high morale, mainly B and C and even a few A-class battalions.
		I have seen West German units in FG85 and they are very strong.
		By the end of the 1st Day I have managed to capture the bridges on Elbe south of Hamburg, thus isolating the town (but not the units; probably there is a supply source somewhere).
