Campaign: The Big Red One (15 Scenarios)

[WookieeDavidson]

Thank you for making this. Love custom campaigns! Install through the workshop worked fine.

Question: Do you want to be made aware of typos in briefings and such? Noticed two in the first briefing:
inccursions -> incursions
armroed -> armored

haha, as long as the players are aware of what im trying to type i dont really mind, you can include typos in the bug reports

In the later scenarios, is it possible to increase the core slots? It isn't possible to upgrade the infantry units to US Infantry 43, with its higher slot requirement (4 vs 3).

Other than that, I am enjoying this campaign.

Really excellent work on the campaign, WookieeDavidson! Enjoyed playing it; until the last scenario wasn't winnable, of course. But I found the reason (Workshop problem) and understand. Many thanks for your work.

A few thoughts....I am currently playing on Field Marshall level and just starting Stosser. Overall, I have enjoyed the campaign; it is a nice change-up from the Slitherine campaigns. So far, battles have been limited to 20-30 slots, plus the allies AI or allied units that are on loan to you. The maps are small to medium size. This makes sense you are a division plus attached units, not a full army. You have to be efficient in taking your objectives or you will run out of time.

A few battles are conducive to captures. You have access to your captured tanks and tank destroyers even when you have no Allied armor available. This can make your Big Red One division quite overpowered. That is especially true if you stack multiple heroes and have zero slot heroes. The Germans (so far) do not have heroes. Airplanes are rare and limited when they are present in a battle. You will also find the German units to be aggressive; even willing to leave a victory hex to attack your units.

This is a great campaign to try playing without heroes or maybe limiting each unit to just 1. Maybe try playing on a higher difficulty level (I am wishing I had tried on Generalissimo). You can also experiment with traits and perhaps try some that you wouldn't typically use (just don't take Panzer General or Anti-air Veteran).

Thank you WookieeDavidson for an entertaining campaign!

I feel like Caumont is impossible. I can defeat enemies, but not in 15 turns.

I am having the same problem, even with upgraded Ranger units. Can not find the 3rd "Secure the Rear" objective.
