Unfortunately, I've had to abandon the campaign. Despite several attempts I end up out of prestige and bled out by the allied airpower in Alma Halfa. I can see why so few have the Italian Victory Steam achievement. It's pretty hard.

The AAR and the tips are helpful. Finally eeked out a Marginal Victory. Not sure if I have enough force/prestige left to continue on but that will be a problem for another day. Thanks.

All good, I'll pretend I'm still in the Course of Action Analysis step of MDMP and try again. Despite the losses, it is a fun scenario.

Edit: Now on my 4th attempt. Have yet to trigger the allied retreat. I keep ending up at around turn 18 with a collection of 2 and 3 strength units and only 500 ...

I'm currently banging my head against the wall on Gazala going for Italian Victory. Despite taking Bar Hachem and killing all the reserve British armor, the allies won't retreat off the defensive line. I've lost 3 in a row on this. Invariably I end up out of prestige and bleeding out to allied air ...

I've always wanted to get into modded content for this game, but I guess I'm just not smart enough to partake. Every few years I spend 3 hours trying to get one to work and give up and go back to replaying the standard campaigns. It's a shame because this USMC campaign looks fantastic.

After decimating the artillery across the river my 495 experience 8.8cm Flak was in AT mode surrounded by river guarding the withdrawal back across ...

Just took a loss on Prokhorovka. Ouch, worse yet, I lost a +4 attack SE Grenadier in the process. Headed into Dnipropetrovsk with about 6k prestige before repairs. I think it's too late to pull this out but I may as well see it through to the end. For a change of pass I think I'll do the US Grand ...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I tried to play a little more deliberately and am now entering Kursk South (Yakovlevo sp?) with 10250 prestige and all units at full strength but I have not done any of the upgrades yet. I definitely like the Wespe! I am reluctant to disband my 2 SPAA due to the ...

Hello everyone. Like most people here I'd imagine, I grew up playing Panzer General and the rest of the 5 Star Series. I've also logged a considerable amount of time playing this game so I'm not a total beginner. Usually on my first play through I'll go at Colonel with 200% player prestige. This ...
