Spot-on words and spot-on images – excellent.

Makassar-23.jpg Off the coast of Makassar, however, things remain fairly quiet. Although the enemy launches air raids from time to time, my anti-aircraft defences, working in conjunction with my fighter planes, are more than a match for them. Makassar-28.jpg The important base of Kendari is located...

Having completed the US path for the first half of 1942, I now move on to the ABDA path (ABDA – American-British-Dutch-Australian) for the first half of 1942. It begins with the fighting around Celebes, now known as Sulawesi in Indonesia. This is a very large map comprising approximately 10,000 hexe...

This is followed by a section of three scenarios targeting the North-East Africa region, with several Italian and French colonies. The first is the ‘Port Sudan’ mission, located in eastern Egypt and eastern Sudan between the Nile and the Red Sea. The player achieves a DV by conquering all flag field...

The ‘Suez’ scenario marks the end of a section within the 4th campaign. It represents an important intermediate goal with the capture of the Suez Canal. In this mission, you must capture all primary objectives to achieve an MV. For a DV, you must also free French prisoners from a camp in the Sinai a...

The 42 campaign is currently scheduled for completion in the autumn.

As correctly assumed, the presentation of the “Coral Sea” scenario is one of the missions it contains, giving you a little insight into what to expect. I will be providing further examples sporadically over the coming months.

CoralSea-10S.jpg At the same time, further east near the Solomon Islands. The aim here is to take out the crew of Tulagi, which I have almost succeeded in doing. A few of my British air units are also in action here. My two Mosquitos in particular are proving to be very versatile. My pink submarine...

At this point, I would like to present a newly created scenario for UW2. It is about the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942. This was the site of the first major aircraft carrier battle in history and thus also of the Second World War. In fact, the fighting was decided almost exclusively by the fiv...

... Will this continue on other maps? Do I have to stay away from the edge? In my scenarios, there are often a large number of enemy units in action. It is not always possible to place them on the map and activate them later. Enemy units are frequently brought onto the map. However, care is taken t...

After reaching and crossing the Nile at El Fajum, my troops can swing northwards and advance into the Nile Delta in the ‘Cairo’ scenario. An MV is achieved here again by capturing all primary objectives, and a DV by allowing no more than 10 of the 20 enemy evacuation units attempting to leave the ma...

So, after a long Christmas break, we now have the ‘Nile’ scenario. Our brave soldiers reach the Nile south of Cairo and establish a first bridgehead on the eastern side of the river. An MV is achieved by capturing all primary objectives and reaching at least 18,000 prestige points. For a DV, all pri...

It's snowing here in Kosovo as well. I can't wait to go back home to the USA lol. Well, 3 out of 36 is better than 0 lol. I can't wait to try them out. Until then, I'll be playing "The Other Way" as well as some Panzer Corps 2 What is an American doing in the Balkans, which is not exactly...

Also, I've been replaying "The Other Way" mod and I want to know if you will be re-adding the quiz questions that gave prestige and sometimes rare units? I think those are really fun and gives cool little facts Thank you, I had a lovely Christmas and a good New Year. At the moment, we hav...

Hello, how do I achieve decisive victory in Champagne 15 Winter? I met conditions (4 Reserve-corps HMG units wasn't moved, only swap to mortal sometimes and replenish them; I didn't loose victory hexes at all). The problem lies in switching from infantry mode to mortar mode. The programme checks wh...

Some games in the Total War series have a gameplay mechanic called attrition... No, I wasn't inspired by the Total War series. I watched a lot of documentaries and read a lot. It strikes you that more soldiers suffer and die from cold, heat, hunger, thirst, poor hygiene and related diseases than fr...

... All in all, I am hooked by the setting of this mod and its alternate history timeline does sound historically plausible. The marker fields can sometimes be difficult to find on a map, it's true – an Easter egg hunt at Christmas. The completely fictional story of DAW is actually plausible in mos...

Yes, I'm surprised you got that far! I think with the random massive stat bonuses on enemy heroes, additional strength difficulty just gets too swingy to make for an enjoyable experience (unless you are planning every move and in effect playing with fog of war off). There is a game option in PC2 wh...

Even with the slightly lower difficulty level, the ‘Kattara Senke’ scenario was still excessively tough. In fact, I now realised that the fourth campaign, with additional combat-boosting values on the opposing side, was impossible for me to master. In the 18th round, after suffering heavy losses, ev...

... The Hollywood scenario was the only one I didn't get a decisive victory on due to not understanding it. ... The tanker had to reach the ‘A’ field and all enemy units (except for a maximum of 1) had to be destroyed. This also includes sea mines, which are relatively easy to find. I always fall b...

Ok, that campaign was definitely different. Having to be on the backfoot pretty much the entire time in the US side. I assume its the same with the british side too. I absolutely can't wait for 1942! Have you already played through the entire campaign path? It really does go by in a flash here. Alt...
