Norway
Trondheim infantry was hit.
The second German infantry came to life (after standing in a large river) and is apparently moving in Oslo.
The landing ship already sees coast of Norway.
The Allies again forgot the location of the coastal batteries and the ships would be hit.

Germany
On the Western front.
In the north we crossed the Rhine and advanced well and left at Bremerhaven.
For the Ruhr zone is still a fight.
Also managed to cross the south.

On the Eastern front.
Berlin has got another super-unit JagPanther.
Our tanks are moving away.
We do not have so many effective tanks.
But we slowly grind defense.
Artillery came to the position and began to implement support.
Faced a hitch in the city of Dresden.

Berlin
Damaged units relegated to the rear for replenishment. Other to refuel.
Slowly the number of defenders are reduced.
The 88mm AT cannon have a good position, so it's best to break through Berlin itself.
The infantry is moving forward.
We have logistical problems, so that a large number of units prevents the movement of others.

Norway
Landing with infantry at the shore.
German infantry at Trondheim withdrawn from battle.
And the other infantry is moving to Oslo to deprive us of the airfield.
Our landing ship in southern Norway was damaged, again from the unexplored artillery coastal battery.

It was also attacked by a destroyer of the enemy, which has already been destroyed.

The force began landing.
Goals - capture airfields!

In the Baltic Sea, the Axis sent two heavily damaged fighters to prevent our bombers from conducting an operation to destroy the enemy’s fleet.
One of the fighters was shot down. Graff Zeppelin sunk by IL-2. Graff Speer received damage.

Germany
Captured Bremerhaven. The forward American unit went to the bases of the Navy, the enemy does not protect them.
The Axis threw all the forces on the defense of Berlin.
There are heavy battles in the Ruhr area. Panther and Stug covered anti-aircraft guns, a serious threat to our tanks. But static.
Therefore, our tanks avoid collisions and bypass north.
In the south we complete the destruction of the enemy.

In the same place, a meeting of the first Soviet-American troops took place near the city of Munich! Hurray comrades!

The situation with Dresden is almost resolved. But in front of the city there were big congestion of our troops.
Further, our units will go along the Elbe to the north. And clean up the remnants of the enemy.

Our bombers carry out attacks. But all the bombers are no longer enough targets.

One more turn is needed to capture the latest VP.

This test play has revealed that I forgot to add the scenario ending conditions to both the single and multiplayer versions of the mod.

And that's why it did not end after we conquered 10 German objective cities. But at least in this way we can test it up to turn 99 without ending the game. It is funny that no one has reported it throughout the years because it looks like most, if not everyone played the mod only in campaign mode where it works correctly, and not in single scenario mode, starting it from the scenario section of the game. However, since multiplayer games can only be run as individual scenarios and not as a campaign, we realized this problem. Obviously I will fix it for the next version.

However, I actually kind of like it in my Axis game as currently I still control most of North Africa and the Middle East, and I just role play that a renegade part of the German army has refused to surrender and continues to fight in Africa, and may even attempt to rebuild the Third Reich on the ruins of the ancient empires of Egypt and Assyria, using the oil of Iraq and Iran and the advanced technology of Germany.

It may even make an interesting synopsis for an alternative history book or film series, haha.

My other, bigger issue with this is when playing in scenario mode neither random heroes, nor medals are awarded to any side, which also has a negative effect on the Axis side. When playing the mod as a campaign a number of random Axis heroes can be gained which makes it easier for the Axis side (besides adding a nice flavour, together with the nation specific awards), whereas when playing it in multiplayer it is not the case as it cannot be run in campaign mode. I think it would be nice if this feature would be optional when running just a scenario either in single player or multiplayer mode.

I think it would also be fantastic to see random Allied heroes emerging, and of course Allied units getting awards. It would make the whole thing more personal as the players could have their favourite units and try to babysit them throughout the war. It would also be interesting to compare the most highly decorated units of each side at the end of the war.

All of this, all of it makes me wish I knew how to get this mod to work on my computer.

This is such beautifully great stuff
