Question regarding Moscow 43 Decisive or Marginal Victory

I was wondering if a person wins the Moscow 43 series in a Decisive Victory or even a Marginal Victory and is sent to Overlord, does the game take into account that this will relieve many troops, planes and equipment for service in France? Also the depletion of units fighting in Russia is over, so this means much more available for Overlord, Italy, etc. if common sense and reason apply. All war material and manpower can go to other fronts virtually overnight as transportation arranges this and all war goods production, raw materials and development can focus on other theatres rather quickly for obvious reasons.

Recently I won the Moscow 43 scenario in 9 turns and the game still gave me a Decisive Victory and sent me to Overlord. I haven't started it yet. But I thought that as a German commander you had to win Moscow 43 in 8 (EIGHT) turns to get a Decisive Victory. I'll take it anyway and thanks.

When the war in Russia is over with Moscow 43 under your belt are war materials and manpower released to serve elsewhere. Germany and her allies will have won the natural and human resources of Russia and all its surrounding territory. Correct?

Is this making the overall "big picture" too esoteric for the game or does the game take this into account when giving you units, supplies, new weapons and manpower for the later campaigns? If not then the game is limiting the German side in defending in Overlord to the disadvantage of the Germans who are not fighting on TWO fronts any longer. Maybe this is what cheat codes are for, rationalizing the playing field?

If you want to go to USA after Moscow, you have to either complete Sealion or Sealion 42 decisively. If you don't subjugate Britain, you still have to contend with Overlord.

I believe there is a mod around here that allows you to go to USA if you get a decisive victory in Overlord, maybe someone can direct you towards it.

Thanks VPaulus. I couldn't find the link in the Slitherine forums. I see you moved it to the Scenario Design sub-forum. That's good; it'll be easier to find now. You know what didn't help is that he posted it as a poll, so it's hard to know that it is actually a campaign mod.

Forgive me for asking, but I have not modified much in Panzer Corps although I am well versed in IL Sturmovik. I have downloaded this file. How do I get it to tie into the game on the computer? Thanks.

@flakfernrohr, modified campaigns replace the campaign.pzdat file. It is located in the data folder inside your main program folder: Program Files (x86)/Slitherine/Panzer Corps/Data. First make a backup of the file, so you can return to the original, if you want, without reinstalling the entire game. Then, just copy the new file & replace the original after making a backup.
