Am I missing the thread for the latest release?
I've just finished playing through. I must be getting too old to be competent ... I found a lot of the scenarios really tough to meet the victory conditions --- D-Day comes to mind. I did like the layout for D-Day, but thought the appearance of panzers in the middle of my troops a little disconcerting.
One thing that constantly amazes me is how poor overall U.S. aircraft are. The British Typhoon is a real tank-buster. I just finished an account, though, of the airborne operations at D-Day and time and again the Thunderbolt is cited as a tank-buster, which is certainly not going to happen with the game. I also find the "secret weapons of the Luftwaffe" type appearance of multiple experimental aircraft to be unrealistic.
The final battle (if you choose the Race to Berlin option) is good, but I find the objectives really hard to find -- usually you can look on the victory conditions to get a nice red arrow pointing to primary and secondary goals, but not here.
Too bad it's all apparently coming to an end here, but I have thoroughly enjoyed this series.
Just finished D-Day. Major Victory. on Normal. I only bought Statigic Bombers for all 3 Forces. There are enough Fighters to get the objective. After I joined the beaches, I put most units on east objective and sent the majority of Ships to the North objective.
Secure the Area around Ohmaha I put my Construction Group there. Then I added units when i was able. To get the cut off objective. keep enough ships to hug the shrore line. 2 of the bigg battle ships and all the rest coast huggers.
Pound the north with Bombs and Ships. I had it in 25 but dragged it out to the end.
