I’m glad there are still fan-made high-quality campaigns out there which don’t include hundreds of new units that aren’t compatible to own e-files.
I love the briefings and events that are commented by message boxes during scenarios: warnings, reinforcements, unique hero, counterattacks, etc. It’s good to have a working communication line to HQ what doesn’t make you feel left alone in dead silence on the battlefield.
The possibility to carry over auxiliary units to the next scenario is brilliant. Who says auxiliary units are only cannon fodder?
The only mission where I have complains is the last one:
I’m all fine with too many enemy aircrafts, infantry and light tanks, but there are definitely too many KV tanks smashing my defences!
When I read about prototype, I thought about one tank unit, but you send 3 KV-1A against the holey player line. If that wouldn’t be already a nightmare, there are even 4 KV-2 that join them blasting my strongholds to dust!
I don’t need historical hyper-correctness but the balance goes really nuts there. That’s why I’d prefer for once go with history. Here is a good read about the KV action in Winter War:
http://www.armchairgeneral.com/rkkaww2/ ... V_finn.htm
There was only one single KV-1 tank, not a whole company or even battalion full of KV tanks, which first went into action on 18 December 39. Later in February, there was less than a handful KV-2s joining the battle in February.
Suggestion: only one KV-1 and KV-2 unit and placing both far behind the huge bulk of other units, so they appear later at the front line. The AI has already enough units…really. I know you can surrender this mission, but if you like some challenge then loosing more or less all core units for the campaign in 40 is not really funny. I want to play maps and not skip them.
Geezus, there were really some tough missions giving me nightmares of stampeding cavalry! The official campaign path felt like a walk in a park compared to yours. If the difficulty still ramps further in 40 then Germany would have lost the war much earlier!
