Oh man that would be savage... I think it could work though, Russia IS pretty pressed for resources after all. Hmm.

Hi,

Have been waiting for the new tournament, now I read Karis' advices for Russia Campaign. Seems very challenging and long battle, but I'm willing to take a try. I have played OoB quite a lot, so I feel confident as Napeleon that I can capture the Moscow..

But I can also play the soviets side, if there are still any players left?

Am I correct in saying that the latest version of the Russian Campaign 1941 is 3.7? Where can I download this plus the latest version of The West Campaign. Thanks.

The latest version of The Russian Campaign, and all the other excellent scenarios by Parreigo, are in the provided dropbox links in the very first post. Have fun!

Thanks for your reply. I did download the Russian Campaign (1 vs 1) 3.71.

I then extracted the files. There were a whole bunch of them starting with "Move Path".

I opened up Documents/My Games/OoB WW2 and tried the following:
I copied them to the scenario folder but that did not work. I then created a folder and named it Multiplayer and copied it that folder. That also did not work.

Will this scenario work with the base game? If yes where do I put the extracted files? Or what is the procedure to be able to play this scenario multipler?

Don't worry, everyone has some troubles when they first go using the player made maps. They should be placed in the "scenario" folder you first tried. If I had to guess the problem is extracting? In my case I just have a new folder in scenarios called The Russian Campaign and then all the individual files are inside of that. Double checking things, when I extract the downloaded file I only get the one folder containing everything. Let me know if that helps.

Thank you for the reply. I've been told that I need to purchase one of the DLCs before a multiplayer scenario like Russian Campaign will work so that will be my next step.

Ah, that's a pity. To be honest I wasn't sure if it was required or not so I guess I'm still learning about the game myself after all this time. Fortunately it's a worthwhile investment.

Blitzkrieg, the best DLC for me.

PS: promotions for Easter coming up?

My interest is multiplayer. It looks to me like the only two DLCs that option to play multiplayer are Allies Victorious and U.S. Marines. Can the scenarios in Blitzkrieg be played multiplayer?

I really think Operation Seelowe would benefit from strengthening the UK. As it is now they have essentially zero chance of winning because they can't replace lost units. They're all auxillary rather than core. The same does not apply to the Germans however. Plus 22 requisition points per turn to handle both air and sea forces is very low, so even if a unit isn't outright destroyed it can't be repaired. Definitely a great concept though.

End of III Reich: New Campaign, still to be tested at the moment.
