I just wonder how great this mod is. Mirroring this the time what was gone since it's start: 2014. 12 years gone since than, Kameraden! Also when I look for the last version 2.4, it is already 3 (?) years now. And we are still here.

The historical saves represents another great challenge and a slightly different approach.


While I very much share the excitement about the recently released version 2.5 by McGuba, I am not sure that I am fully done yet with version 2.4… even though it has been out for more than 3 years already ...

Really interesting and comprehensive summary! While it is created probably with AI the value is still there.

Hmm, I just looked the France scenario and looked for the Fallschirmjägers and asked me: what is preventing the player to conquer South Britain??

Quite interesting topic!

Well, in my playthrough buying any arty has only a chance at the later stages of the war, when free slots emerges.
Or in the saved versions.
I usually buy 10,5 cm towed with soft halftrack, later hard halftrack. Even later Wespe as it is a good compromise between price and ...

Oh I understand, yes, in that situation I agree with you.
I think, I used them without repair in the D-Day save as minor landing craft destroyers. But even for that you need to hide them before action can be initiated.



Yes, i fully agree that if you are attempting Sealion you will need all ...

I did not find the description where it is written in the game in the message-windows that we can decide to not make a full blown invasion of the CCCP (not capturing major objectives). What will be the difference? I remember that about mid 1943 the Soviets will anyway attack but until that they get ...

I'm renegade ("kuruc" ! ), so I use my custom startscreens - which I change, related to the actual era of the War.
Also I use some custom skins.

IMHO the capital ships are extreme valuable assets as naval artillery. Especially at the early stage of the landings when you do not have much support artillery on the British soil while you need to make some room for you other landing units and therefore you need to eliminate the blocking enemy ...

I do not have now BE before me so just guessing: is turn 18 with snowfall, or there is visibility (cloud, clear)?
I would initiate the landing (touching the shores) only in bad weather other way the AI can, or will move units to block the landing.
Also bad weather is good for preserving your air ...

Yes, it is a new, interesting situation if the Italian navy cannot interfere at Tobruk and El-Alamein. I will have a look. Although I made a pause some time ago as I again destroyed myself with the intense playing of the Kursk 2.4 save trying to make the DV.

They are still there - as the initial setup represents the historical force setup. (If you do not change the 3 Panzer, 1 fighter, 1 tac bomber collection).
So yes, they are there but they do not have extra kills and/or optional heroes yet.


I've always wondered - if you do the earlier scenarios ...

Well in that regard I do not see the justification of Luftwaffe inf units as in the briefing for Barbarossa is stated that Hitler was moved out from power. That would mean all the national-socialists big heads would have been also ousted out. So Göring too. And so Göring could not have organize a ...

I started the preparations for 2.5 - I made the pre-scenarios as I think there will be no big changes and I can continue than with Barbarossa 2.5 (Almost finished the Kursk save - I will post later the results.)

As I will play with Double Rommel (25% prestige) and Field Marshall, Dice Chess custom ...

Yes, but as I know only Allied SE armored units are present.



Yes, the SE units have by default camouflaged clothes. (Later in 1944 all German inf units can have camouflaged outfit.)



I haven't played 2.4 for a while but now I can't wait for 2.5! My question, because I can't remember: Do the ...

Yes, the SE units have by default camouflaged clothes. (Later in 1944 all German inf units can have camouflaged outfit.)



I haven't played 2.4 for a while but now I can't wait for 2.5! My question, because I can't remember: Do the German SE-units have a different colour or camouflage on the map ...

How 'gamey' do you think is to let the enemy units on the mercy of 1 strength point and use them as shields, or place users?
Earlier I did not use this tactics but this time I feel forced to do it in a few occasions.

That's a pretty solid defense line! 8)
I think I never bought mines as I earlier only played on Rommel where (at this late stage of war) every prestige point is needed elsewhere.



Here was my original defensive line in France with my 3 minefields. You can see each minefield has both an ...

How could you get the mines transferred and deployed to the need places?
Once I tried this method but the air superiority of the Allies made it impossible to transfer them without heavy losses.




In my latest playthrough i placed several minefields to help with the defence of France. I noticed ...

If I will play some time from the start, I would this time also probably change the core to 3 panzers, 2 fighters (I always used the original setup as intended).
If there would be enough prestige than even go for 3 Pz IV - while the are a little weaker in 1940-0941 than the Pz III's, with the long ...
