If you have completed DLC 1941, please post a list of your ending core force.
(A save file would work too).

Nice core.

That prestige is low, but I wouldn't worry too much.
Winning Demyansk rewards 2.2k so that'll be a nice start for 1942.
1942 start point will probably start the player with 3k or 3.5k prestige, although a weaker core than you have there.

The low prestige is probably my fault because i couldn't sit and wait in the trenches. Did a major attack to the east...
The Mathilda's - although performed admirably till now - get the feel of getting obsolete, need to upgrade them.
Even the CharB1 is still a great asset against soft targets, but will need to upgrade it also.

I hope i can even get a better core at the end of my testing of beta 2.

After Demyansk.

So far the two Kiev scenarios are MUCH easier than Leningrad, much more Prestige etc.
This was on Field Marshal with the Leningrad path taken.

Casualty list (i assume since DLC 39)

Damn. Now THAT is an impressive casualty list. And there are still four more years to go.

I've always wonder if it would be hard to add how many Step losses you have had as well? Granted the numbers would be so high as to be near meaningless, but maybe not so for some categories.

I finished, on General level. But how do I find a list of my core units? I have turn 22 at start saved. Do I go in and list everything I have? Or can I see actual ending list and final prestige somehow?

The easiest is to send your savegame to Kerensky.

Or you can go thru your unit list and write everything here. Final prestige is when you review the battlefield after DV/MV/Loss in the upper right of the screen or just before giving the last turn to the AI. Unit list is displayed with F6. The core units are those with the gold frame.

That is a very nice core *drool*

I didn' to Streets of Moscow though (because I didn't pass the "skill check" on Vyazma :p ).

Final prestige of 4642
Level: general

Did not get to Streets of Moscow...fell just short in Vzyma once more. That scenario continues to give me fits. Got through Demyansk relatively unscathed.

Thanks everyone for your core info. Should have everything I need.

layout stolen by dshaw62197 (I hope you dont mind but I liked it )

My 1941 DLC core, colonel difficulty.
Started with DLC 41 core as mine is still stuck in 1939 (rather playing beta than my own campaign )
Always used elite reinforcements, always used overstrength in deploy phase
All DV except last map (guess I did something wrong with the planes). I think I might give this another try.

I just wondered how I can see my own core that I uploaded in one of the above postings.

(omg, this horse is amazing)

I have to say, I very much enjoy seeing everyone with a tank heavy CORE.

Much better than infantry/arty heavy CORES of the main campaign.
