After a bit of a struggle with imgBB, I am finally able to start the ARR for the latest DLC. As it is a longer series, I was thinking hard how to best represent the idea behind the campaign and still risked massively missing the mark once the actual DLC launches. Still, some unpredictability should ...

That's intended and historical. The Mk. IV did not have defensive armament.

First scenario done, this might be an interesting journey indeed!

My usual AAR will be delayed doe to some imgBB login issues. I prefer to use my usual image storage for these, so hopefully I won't have to set-up some different workaround.

Did you mode anything in the game? The base settings and stats, even on Generalissimus are balanced in such a way that the infantry you need to meet up with will retreat, but should not get destroyed. Japanese units in the area also do not pursue such retreating forces and stand ground, so baring so...

You just need to rush along the roads with fast units. The path is undefended, so if you optimize for speed, you can reach the objective before the first enemy wave hits.

There was a second dev diary, but no news of it on the forums? Strange.

Adding my 2 cents here based on various runs, challenges and experiments with silly ideas. I think that historical cores are perfectly viable in all campaigns, and the only really issue is that you might find bonus/elite objectives sometimes impossible to do. Honestly, that's fine and I dare say eve...

Scenario 6: Annibale Bergonzoli should also have ReducedSlots (there is a typo in the lua) Scenario 7: The lua is bugged in 2 ways; doesn't give u the bonus core slots & disbanding anything will cause mission to fail (probably doesn't come up too often). I've made a fixes for both. Did you see ...

I had the same issue when playing my AARs back in the day, alongside a few minor script bugs. I'm afraid it was not addressed yet - while I was hoping for a patch the teams seems to have moved to working on the Allied Operations - Italy DLC. A tiny bit of hope remains that someone will address these...

The announcement didn't make it clear: are the heroes "banked* from the Poland campaign going to be imported here? It's kind of odd that Italy is the first Allied Ops, as historically the formations used mostly started combat in Africa; it seems like that would be the natural beginning point f...

Elite - 1st Guards - Allies Hero: https://i.ibb.co/D3rrKpd/126.png Not an impressive last hero, but added to one air recon unit. Starting Prestige: 52812 Order of Battle: Infantry 22nd Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade - SU HW Inf 43 (Truck) - *** - Famous, Vigilant 22nd Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade...

Thank you for this AAR, its inspired me in my run for Westwall. I had nearly the the same prestige result, but with other traits. Really a very good DLC. Thanks for the kind words! Always glad to see these AARs are not only for my own records, but that someone enjoyed having a read and perhaps got ...

Elite - 1st Guards - Oder Offensive Hero: https://i.ibb.co/VcBBvTwV/114.png Hero added to the 1st Guards Bomber Aviation Division. Who knows, this ability might be useful in the upcoming city siege. Starting Prestige: 48044 Order of Battle: Infantry 22nd Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade - SU HW Inf 4...

Elite - 1st Guards - Brody Cauldron Hero: https://i.ibb.co/gLP9Q8cL/101.png Simple hero to add to 22nd Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade SMG unit. Infantry is the obvious choice, but of course not the only option. I'm just limited by not being able to combine this ability with another hero in the curr...

For anyone who played tabletop - was it indeed good and it keeps your hopes up, or does it seem like just nostalgia speaking?

Elite - 1st Guards - Heroes of the Soviet Union Hero: https://i.ibb.co/MkXT7mLG/91.png Adding the hero to a new 1st Airborne Battalion paratrooper unit, but ironically not having the core slots o support the extra strength of 25. Hopefully future scenarios will allow for that, but for the time bein...

Maybe one option for a different challenge would have been to give the player additional time pressure. When Stalin pushes you to reach Berlin before the allies, no matter the costs. But that would of course collide with the game's option to switch off the turn limit. Perhaps the next PC game shoul...

Hi, I'm a PC dummy and as PzCorps2 and my other games run perfectly fine with Win 10, can i ask if we really need Win 11 at all? Probably not for PC2, but MS is no longer supporting Windows 10. I like Win10 better myself with my desktop running it while my laptop came with Win11. But I am not going...

Nice! A really quick announcements considering that Guards DLC is still really fresh, but a welcome one, as more allied content is always welcome. That said, if my understanding of earlier video talks is correct and this is done by the same team as Frontlines - Cyrenaica, then by all that's sacred, ...

Normally I just play WWII setting strategy games, but if if this is not just a fresh coat of paint over the same formula and also addresses some main issues the earlier title had, I would be willing to give it a try. 1. Give players control of how to deploy units at the start of the battle. Seriousl...
