starting 39 general campaign

[deadtorius]

After trying out 39-part of 40 in the default campaign and easily getting decisive victories in all of them, some of them were pretty close, last turn stuff but most were done with turns to spare, I decided to try the 39 campaign on general.
I have found so far it has taken almost all the turns to get that DV unlike the major campaign. I have also borrowed some suggestions from other players and have a larger core army than what I can field so I can go heavy Luftwaffe or heavy ground depending on the scenario. Bzurka River, I like heavy stukas as they can pretty much destroy anything sitting on the bridges and then the ground units clean up what ever is left. Probably the easiest scenario so far as you only need to sit behind the bridges with arty to your rear and the Luftwaffe overhead and on turn 20 you move one hex and recapture all the bridges. The only victory hex I hold is that city in the lower left corner.
I am enjoying the new scenarios a lot and look forward to getting through the remaining French ones I have not seen yet.
So far minimal losses a tank 2 infantry, which is not that bad I guess. The Polish infantry can really deliver a nasty punch most times, had a real bugger of a time with the Polish one where you have to capture a bunch of bridges. I didnt get a chance to block them off and had cav and tanks pouring across beating on my artillery. Finally got the Luftwaffe to take them out and finish them off with the tanks then it was time to move over the rivers and take those objectives out back.

The Norway scenarios are quite interesting/frustrating as the maps are not attacker friendly, narrow approaches etc, but I did enjoy them. I think the Albert canal and Eben Emael were the tow hardest scenarios I played on default so far.
Great work on this and looking forward to seeing more of them, thanks again for an excellent job.

Completed Poland and am into the 40 campaign.

One of the things I really like about the DLC campaign 39 is it really shows that the Poles did their best to try and stop the Germans. In the Vanilla campaign Poland is like a speed bump to blitzkrieg, one scenario not much effort, pretty easy seems like the Poles just roll over and play dead. Not in the DLC campaign, great work on the part of the devs.

I have to say so far I like all the scenarios, can't think of any that I don't like playing. In the Polish campaign think its the third scenario where you have to capture 3 bridges and cross the river to the VH's on the other side, I managed to block the top and bottom bridge but was not able to move into a blocking position on the middle one. Well the AI flooded tanks and cav into my center, much to the unhappiness of my arty and some infantry. Send in the Luftwaffe and the situation was restored 2 turns later, nice touch on that one.

Working through 1940 now so far DV's in all campaign games.
looking forward to seeing the new tweaks, thanks for the great work so far.
