************************************************************
Hitler Hears ACW2 1.04 Final Still Isn't Out Yet
************************************************************
*Scene - inside the Fuhrer Bunker during the Final Days*
Jodl: Mein Fuhrer, we are here with an update on final release of ACW2 v1.04 - a matter you deem of highest priority. *pointing to map*
Hitler: Well what is it? It had better be good...
*Jodl and Krebs exchange worried glances*
Krebs: Mein Fuhrer...
Jodl: Mein Fuhrer, AGEOD is still working on a final release.
*Hitler, hands shaking, begins to take off his glasses*
Hitler: Every traitor who lost patience and went back to playing ACW1 leave the room!
*watches as all exit except Jodl, Burgdorf and Krebs*
Hitler *shouting* The swine! How dare they torment me this way?! He who has sacrificed everything for Germany!
Jodl: *confused* Mein Fuhrer...we are sure it won't be much longer. AGEOD says....
Hitler *screaming* AGEOD says! The skies are black with Allied bombers! Mussolini is on a meat hook! The Russians are at my door! Playing ACW2 is the only thing that keeps me sane! And they drag their feet releasing a critical patch? This is an insult, a calculated strike at the heart of The Reich! They must believe it will push me over the edge! Why else would they torture me? I will return Elsass-Lothringen today to get this patch out! Tell them that!
*sounds of sobbing from the corridors outside*
Krebs: *in a calming tone* Mein Fuhrer - it should only be a few more days. Surely time will pass and a freshly-patched ACW2 will be in your hands before you know it...
Hitler *screaming louder* No! That is ridiculous! A few more days? It has been weeks now! Don't tell me about playing ACW1 in the meantime! A Leader does not test his mettle on old games! You scoundrels of the General Staff play ACW1! That is what got us into this mess! I should have liquidated you all like Stalin did! There is only one solution! Call Steiner and tell him to call off his attack!
Krebs: But Mein Fuhrer! You have said the Steiner offensive would turn the tide...it begins in 24 hours!
Hitler *screaming even louder* It will! But to an objective even greater than Berlin! Order Steiner to attack the AGEOD Studios! He must break in tonight and seize the master of the final release! I am sure it is done and they have it locked up for spite! I must have it in my hands before the end! Even if it is just to play until the end of 1861! I have struggled for too long, starved in Vienna flop houses...I will spite De Gaulle by stealing this game from under his nose! AGEOD probably has a single pot-bellied security guard! Even if he is Jean Claude Van Damme he cannot stand against my commandos!
Krebs: But Mein Fuhrer, Jean Claude Van Damme is a Belgian...maybe you mean Jean Reno?
Hitler: *screaming loudest of all* Do not question me! This is a Fuhrer Befehl!!
*Hitler collapses spent back into his chair*
*Krebs and Burgdorf exchange worried glances*
Hitler *in an exhausted whisper* The final version of ACW2 1.04 - I cannot bear waiting any longer. The Steiner attack must succeed!
