Also, considering Papua - New Guinea, at the end of the scenario I had over 1000 of both american and new zeland resources (while ressuplying everything to the max all the time), while my airforce points (white star on a blue flag) were constantly depleted to zero.
Result was a draw so it was very close game with none side dominating (except japanese naval steamroller).

Leningrad
Incoherent primary objectives ! Only primary for Soviet is Leningrad and I hold it sure that I'm sitting on victory and making Lenin proud, and then bang! Draw out of nowhere !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kINLR7a9sZU
Watch 1:07 - 1:17
Imagine that victory is a briefcase and guy climbing the ladder is soviet player and floor is a draw
Post Scriptum:
I think all other cities should be secondary, otherwise scenario needs a serious soviet buff for them to be able to hold all the cities.

Hi,
have atm an play with an friend in "Road to Leningrad" ....
Nice scenario - but the scale is "way off" ..
If i look at an real map - the distance from Pskow to St.Petersburg (leningrad in this Time Frame..) is ~320km ...
On the OoB Map it is ~28 Hexfields ... so an hex ~10km ... this is way to large for the weapon ranges or overall game mechanic ...
But feel free to correct me
Regards

The way I see it OOB is very high on gameplay due to some compromises on realism in its mechanics. If you want to go full realism mode try Gary Grisby War in the East or Case Blue.
If I can recommend one game that is very high on both realism and gameplay and which gives you a possibility to play road to leningrad campaign it's Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa.
Cheers

With 10km hex size - the battle ships have an firing range from 90~100km - this "IS" insane .... the same goes for arty ... and the same goes for the units , where it makes no sense to have an "heavy mg unit" represented as exclusive only unit in an 10km hex field ... for this scale the game mechanic is simply not build ...
(if i use the firing range of the "bismark class" battle ship with his main batterie (was in reality ~16km), then the scale is aimed at ~1.4km hex fieldsize, where make the unit size much more sense - so the map is simply "to small" .... at around 10 times to small ....)
And thanks for the advice - play CampaignSeries as other wargame ...

Road to Moscow 4.0
I've managed to defend Moscow and more than 5 additional cities and result was a draw - game didn't recognise me fulfilling any objectives.
By the way, this scenario was an amazing slugfest with most horrible casualties both sides I've ever witnessed.
One village north was changing ownership like 15 times with constant attacks and counterattacks

From the US/UK side it works as intended.

Double income for the allies? It's difficult enough for the Germans, especially once the allies unite their navies. Perhaps I'm just playing the Germans incorrectlyErik2 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 5:17 pm 3v1 Scandinavia is updated to 3.6 in first post.

Can't speak for other nations but I probably won't even notice the difference.
Just for the record I'm using elite repair for everything.

Sooo, Erik, when do you plan to give us another 2v2 scenario? Christmas perhaps? ^^
Maybe something with endsieg? Or some desert operation? I really really liked this 2v2 market garden by the way.
I know multi-multiplayer scenarios are a pain but if you need testers you'll have them

There's a current Editor bug in 7.1.4 assigning commanders, so any commander fixes will have to wait until an update is published.
Scandinavia:
There are no Swedish/Danish units available in OOB so you can't purchase any (except for generic gun-boats).
The double income will mainly help the Germans and partly the Norwegians/British/Freanch/Polish.
2v2:
The 1v1 Market Garden works fine (at least pre-7.1.4) so a 2v2 version is not off the table.
Should not be too much work creating a converversion...
2v2 War in the Pacific:
This (very old scenario) works fine for me.
