Hiya,
Thanks for this free scenario. It is very much appreciated for the quirks and bugs in the original upload of 1946. And to say that you guys were very much on it to get the new patch out. Job Well Done!
This new scenario is by far some of the trickiest maneuvering that has needed to be done in PC2. Some of the areas that could be adjusted are:
Paratroopers - drop zones at the end of a flight path. Currently they need to be protected before a drop.
Air Power - There is an overwhelming amount of Axis air power that can not be controlled or shot down with the limited air power of the allies at the onset of the scenario.
Tanks Overrun - The combat indicators are not correct. After softening up a particular unit with close air support or artillery, the combat roll indicates an overrun. Only to have an axis unit with 3 or less withstand an attack from a full 10-15 unit. And if the attack is successful, very seldom will the overrun happen.
Cheers guys.
Keep up the brilliant work!
p.s As a former combat Marine, there is one campaign I have been waiting for. What's the word on the Pacific campaign?

Thanks for your feedback on this scenario.
A couple quick comments:
I'm not exactly sure what is going on with the US paratroopers, I'll have to dig a little deeper into them. Seems like manual disembarking for them works better though, in the meantime.
As for all the Luftwaffe and Japanese Air Force... even though you cannot purchase new ground units until you reach the outskirts of Philadelphia, you can (and need to!) buy your own aircraft with prestige as soon as you start liberating a few airfields. Without air cover, your column will absolutely be devastated from the skies.
One of the changes coming up though is to boost the prestige available at the beginning of the scenario, as well as to add more airfields to base your newly purchased aircraft from, to help people fight the relentless aerial assault that opens the scenario up. =)
Lastly, regarding overrun, if your randomness setting is set to anything except 0% (no randomness at all) it's always possible for the prediction result of combat to be different from the outcome of actual combat.

It's wonderful to hear that you're grateful for the scenario and the team's quick response to bugs. Your opinion on gameplay dynamics is much appreciated, particularly with paratroopers, air power balance, and battle indicators. Such insights serve to improve the gaming experience. Keep your constructive feedback coming!

Hello eveybody,
I am trying to achieve espcape to New York but i met 2 problems :
- the milicia (blue units) are never active and so are eliminated by german atomic bombs
- the german have a lot of atomic bombs and eliminate my best units so i cannot progress. Is there a way to suppress the atomic bomb before flying ?
Thank you

If you are referring to the atomic V-2, then you are warned already that you should escape from your starting location as soon as possible to avoid being nuked. Other than that IIRC there is only one atomic bomber to the east, that you can intercept with your own fighters to shoot it down.
As for the militias, they are only there to show and warn you how brutal the fight to NY would be, and are scripted to be doomed very soon, that's why you get a starting option to remove them from the map to speed up AI turns.

Thank for your answer,
I understand for the militias.
For what regards atomic bombs i suffered from several at the west of the map (not only one in Baltimore) and i was unable to avoid or destroy them.

The script for those V-2s are to hold position behind the fortification to the northwest of Baltimore (so that you can have time to run away) until a certarin turn, then move towards the city and attack anything entering their range (which is 10). You should avoid moving directly north from Baltimore to stay out of their range.
