High marks for Conboy's Operation Dragoon scenario. It's available from the Community Crate icon on the main screen- one click and it just falls into place. Thank you Shards for that efficacy. Although I generally favor campaigns that enforce the consequences of decision making, this scenario is sho...

Thanks for the insight Bebro. I’ll take your advice and this core through the trilogy. I was concerned the spec branch might be a hit to overall production to represent the inefficiency of fielding a redundant service branch. Instead the tradeoff seems to be spec points vs extra CP/RP. Taking the sp...

I’m on my second play through of the Blitzkrieg campaign (I know, I know- for me the Grand Tour is somewhat lacking in historicity and continuity in this vehicle.) I took the Waffen SS spec because it followed the historical path but found it a bit constraining and inefficient. I own but have yet to...

This Rosales minor point of confusion is still outstanding On The Road to Manilla in Version 9.2.5 slith.

The v9.2.5 Rising Sun Campaign's Elite Air Groups spec advertises "The first two purchased air units gain 3 experience stars". However, this bonus is applied to units already active in the force pool- not to new purchases. This was observed with a core imported from Morning Star that inclu...

Thank you for the analysis Bru. I agree the hits are being accurately recorded, and the reward is awarded when the objective is reached. The curious thing is on the next turn the progress towards the goal isn't reflected in the Turn Overview window- that automatic popup continues to show 0/10. My ex...

The Turn Overview window for Scenario 11 Volturno Line inconsistantly displays progress towards the "Inflict 10 damage with British Artillery" secondary objective. It shows 0/10 in the automatic popup at turn start in spite of previous damage accrual. t1.jpg Here the bottom right artllery ...

The Mission Briefing for Scenario 10 Salerno has a trivial typo:

"Army-seized" should be "Army-sized".

I've played this campaign once and was successful on middle difficulty with no reloads. In this last scenario, your ample resources should be fielding experienced troops and a variety of arms. Even so, you must maintain tried & true tactics including AT and AA discipline, and resting units. My i...

First, high praise for the designing duo. My simple impression is Erik brings the welcome historicity and Bruce adds the twists and thorns that make it fun. I played this campaign once, and already need to go wash their company cars as small thanks for their large effort. This second scenario , much...

Parker’s remaining CAs surprise us by turning north, but they meet the same fate as their mates beneath our DBs. Our pair of subs have slammed torpedoes into the rebel CV. p5.jpg A torpedo salvo from a DD convinces the madman Parker to give up the ship. Thanks again Bru for an engaging storyline and...

Parker’s fighters oddly gave up the fight with our Wildcats in favor of strafing attacks on our ships- to no effect. They’re written down to nothing by our riposte. Four of Parker’s DDs have surrendered in front of our guns, but his capitol ships are steaming into radar range. p3.jpg A series of DB ...

The sub skipper is asking about infantry badges for his action against the fuel depot. We suggested he refer his request to Admiral Parker. Speak of the devil- here he comes. p1.jpg Our fighters trade blows while our DBs launch. Parker’s Pirates draw first blood with a torpedo attack on our CA. Our ...

The Japanese threat to our raiding units has been defused. The Marines took the airstrip. We’ll repair and reload and wonder what Adm Parker is about.


Repairing, waiting, and wondering. Subs are about to sink a fuel depot!

The Kwajalein fuel depot is destroyed. The Hayabusa landed and was destroyed on the runway. Our strike force can now return. Our Wildcats concentrated and knocked down the enemy DB. The damaged Kanko can become Kill #10. Our marines are in position to take a port. wot8.jpg Marines liberate the harbo...

Command allocated marines and ordered us to seize a port. Wotje looks like the best bet.


Our first air strike wave presses after the fuel depot. Our surface assets pull back to Wotje.

Command discusses Adm Parker as we form up for the strike on Kwajalein. wot4.jpg Holy Carp! Parker has gone hostile. His air compliment is 2F and 1DB-all in our rear. We’re ordered to apprehend him without sinking any of his ships. Meanwhile the remaining Japanese air force has launched from Kwajale...

Wotje Island shipping is quickly sunk and the battery is silenced. A Wildcat follows the Kanko’s smoke trail descending to the southeast. Our subs shoot up the lonely transport. wot1.jpg The PBY completes its recon and command advises to relieve Adm Parker. Our subs head north after sinking the 10th...

The destruction of Maloelap Atoll is swiftly completed. The run up to our next target, Wotje Island, reveals another hateful coastal gun. Our fighters return for refueling as the CVs speed to catch up to the main force. Their air compliment is already aloft, but is several turns away from the fight....

The transports sink under CA gunnery. A pair of DDs soften up a heavy AA emplacement. A Hayabusa tries to get air, but is bounced by our Wildcats. Our CVs have recovered our remaining air units for repair and re-arming as they hurry north with other stragglers. mal1.jpg The Hayabusa lands but is des...
