Not the same, one contains La-7, one Yak-9D and one Yak-9U. They just contains the same Pe-3 stock.

Four caches for me. 2 airfields, 2 towns. Planes and minesweeping tanks.

Thanks again for the great work!

Before I play through most of AO45 again with a different core army to somehow try this:
does it make any difference if you somehow manage to save the communications tent in "Vienna Offensive"? OF course I assume no different campaign tree, but maybe a different debriefing?

Somebody know this? I must admit I am a little disappointed by the game designers in this DLC.....

I dont think this is possible, even if you somehow manage to save all the aux units there. Maybe a Loewe with overstrength, ignore entrenchmend, rapid fire and the no supply super hero could work, to overrun just everything in 2 turns.
But afair the girl is not hero units, her tragedy happens "offscreen".
And tbh the game is not smart enough for something like that, it can also not notice if you save your whole fleet in operation sealion.

Yeah, there are better DLCs...

I thought an overstrength Loewe with the no supply hero +art support hero + AT hero. Plus some long range artillery and air support. I just started AO45 with an army without that hero....

Just not worth the effort if the game does not even respond. I was very disapppointed that it seemed to make no difference if you reach the "high command" objectives in most of the scnearios.

To be fair the game cant adjust to all these elements. The camapaign is 99% linear. Only in 1943 you could change the outcome by collecting tokens in some missions.
I also really like the old playstyle, when you can take different pathes depending on the outcome of a map. But you have only one campaign in that case, in the DLC they decided to split historic and ahistoric path.

well, I did not expect a different campaign path with new maps. But a little bit of story.
Like saving Ms Brandt forces Wagenr to decide between his girlfriend and wife ... or when achiving all high command goals getting a bonus hero, like a totally fanatic "Endsieg" fighter. Just a little bit more effort....

The whole AO45 gives me the impression the game developers had the attitude "let us just get done with this". A real pitty.

Are you implying Wagner and Brandt were more like friends?!
I already said it in my review topic, Wagner acted completely out of character in the end. He was always the brave soldiers, trying to get german corpses back to the homeland in the vienna missionjust to say 5 minutes later "cya, was fun".
And he is not even asking us for permission, he is just going. Very bad story telling imo.

Yes, but I think this is ok. It is still the historic version of the campaign. There are no such heroes and it shows you, even if you do a great job you cant change history. Almost everything you do is just useless.

I thought the same after my first playthrough.
