Westwall DLC - Feedback

[Bee1976]

Im late to the party - and i havent found a topic related to feedback on this. Thats strange ?

So far, this is the best "non AO" DLC for me. Tough difficulty (im playing on Generalissimus without mass encircleling and without prestige harvest).
I really enjoyed it, so there are mostly the obvious topics to complain, like "slow modernisation = free points" or "its over *sniff*". Oh and i havent dound any easter eggs or hidden chaches - dat sad!

On my next playthrough i might pick reduced core slots...i never had the joy to play witg a full core army after the first 3 scearios, due to some prestige issues

I am in the middle of the DLC and I share your opinion that it is the best DLC

You echoed my sentiments exactly when I did the beta testing. I could not use my usual general traits of Slow Modernization, Trench Slog, denied artillery/aircraft in these short DLCs. I haven't played it since the beta, though, as I have been replaying all of the big revised mod campaigns by Grondel, Andrea, and Gnosport. I pointed out that it was unfortunate that with a little more planning this could have been part of a longer linked US campaign that included the Battle of the Bulge DLC along with others including D-Day and the French campaign that led to this point. I believe they heard us as shown in the Road Map plans this summer.

Yeah, exactly! They could’ve easily tied this DLC in with others, but it actually stands really well on its own. For me it’s like finishing a good book – you close it, happy that it was such a great read, but at the same time you kinda wish it would keep going. That’s what makes a good book for me, and that’s exactly how it felt here.

By contrast, with the 'Fall of Poland' DLC I had a lot of fun too, but I was honestly just glad when it was finally over.

The toughest moment for me, though, was definitely the ending of the last scenario, AO 1946. And that sad feeling of "its all over now"!!

I felt more that way with the North African Italy/Britain DLC. I wish it was Part I of a longer N. African campaign, but the overpowered unique heroes kind of ensured that it wasn't meant to be.

Thanks for the feedback, great to hear you enjoyed it. Just curious -- what's the issue with "slow modernisation = free points" (forgive me if I overlook something obvious here )
