Grand Campaign Won

[Erasermarek]

Panzer Corps:

Grand Campaign completed in 1760 hours (78 missions):

Started playing it in 2014 - finished today. It lasted almost 9 years. Of course not full, but still 1760 hours is more than enough. All missions completed on DV (Decisive victory). No core unit was lost (KIA or MIA) - that's why it took so long (and bcz i was (or still im?) noob). Best unit - Panther G (Barkmann) 3516 kills/20 losses. The campaign was completed with 98 core Wehrmacht units and 9 SE bonus units. An overview of the 78 missions with the date of completion below (the historical date of the scenario is at the beginning).

[PanzerTum]

Congratulations! A major achievement without losing core units, don't know how to do that to be honest..

Still in the midst of 44 East, but then I only have 10 months on the clock...

Imagine, if you start again you can be finished by 2032

Now that is perseverance...9 years
You spent longer playing the game, than it took to fight the war.

Way to stick with it.

What is next for your playing?

I am deciding between GC West, Afrika Korps and Sea Lion. It's hard to say goodbye to the lads

Well done, Erasermarek, I too have been playing on and off for several years, and like PanzerTum I am still on GC44E.

A great effort Enjoy whatever you choose next!

[rubyjuno]

And to add to my congratulations, amazing that you achieved all DVs and with no core losses. Incredible!

Why the year gap between the first and second scenarios? Poznan 19.6.2014 and Danzig Corridor South 27.6.2015... just wondered

I try first to finish vanilla campaign

I try first to finish vanilla campaign

Of course. I finished the vanilla campaign on Colonel, then Afrika Korps on Colonel, and then did both again on Field Marshall before starting the Grand Campaign. Even then, I played 39, 40 and 41 on Colonel before going back and restarting on Field Marshall. I've just checked, and I started the Grand Campaign on Field Marshall in May 2017, so I've been playing it for 6 years. I've had quite a few breaks, and I'm getting near the end of GC44E. It gets to be a bit of a slog, facing endless Russian hordes every scenario!
