AO1944 Battle of Ploesti - Invisible 3rd Marshal

[brettwjohnson]

Overall this is a great scenario.

However the "invisible" 3rd Marshal (apparently hiding somewhere in the inaccessible SE area of map) is frustrating and NOT a fun experience. I have used my airplanes to scour virtually every hex without success. IMHO a bad scenario design decision.

Possibly bugged?

Challenging objectives is great, stupidly frustrating ones are NOT...

u need paratroopers backed up by heavy bombing runs and long range artillerie to get that last marshal.

[VirgilInTheSKY]

Capture that village and you get the 3rd Marshal.

Come on, its the first time you cant achieve everything just by going from left to right while killing everything.
Only problem might be the game mechanics. If you dont have any free slots you cant buy paratroopers. But afaik you got a lot of aux slots in this mission?!

No aux if you don't pick that commander trait, you might have got that because we do have a big core slot in this one and that trait gives aux slot equal to half of the core available.

[DefiantXYX]

Well no aux slots per se, but beside your core force you got a lot of friendly units that get wiped out all the time. You cant rebuy stuff for theses losses?

No. You can only give support to reduce their losses, but any lost AI units are not replacable as they are not under your control.

I captured the village and... nothing happend.

Perhaps I shall capture the town in the SE part of the map - JIJILA surrounded by artillery?

Yes, Jijila is the location that objective lies at.

You want to be careful and have him backed up by ground strike too as there's a pretty dangerous enemy there that will kill your infantry even in the woods or city
