What do you think, do you think it's possible to win a campaign with the fail 4?

I beat the base game campaign with Delayed Reinforcements. I remarked that it felt the most historical a campaign of 1943-45 for Germany has ever felt. You can start a mission with all those shiny Tigers and Panthers, but they get ground to dust and you have no luxury to buy replacements at will.

Throw in Heroic Showdown and Uphill Battle for true nightmare mode. I still haven't gotten my 1940 DLC achievements completed as a result of how much more difficulty those two 'Extra Challenges' has made things... :shock:

I forget the name, but the challenge where the enemy get a hero for every unit is really hard. Most of them are trash, but once or twice per level they'll get an important hero on a unit that can use it, and if you aren't watching out for it your game will end right quick.

I completed all campaigns except the 41 with delayed reinforcements and the biggest challenge was mostly in the air combat area. Most maps have supply hexes so you can use the upgrade action to fully heal your units. There are only a few battles where supply hexes are not available in airfields such as Dunkirk.
