Dumb question...How can I play Rommel and Manstein difficulty levels? I am enjoying Field Marshall, but I want even more of a challenge. Thanks!

Is it necessary to play the original campaign to a DV on Field Marshall at USA West Coast, or can you play just the USA West scenario on Field Marshall difficulty and win a victory?

The campaign, but check out the registry setting so you can do it without spending so much time on it. The instructions are in that link I gave.

I'll do it the old fashioned way--I would rather not screw around with the registry. Thanks!

You can just cheat win each scenario, that is what I did to unlock the extra levels.

The cheat codes are in a sticky, but in summary:

ctrl-alt-shift-C to bring up the cheat code dialog box
enter "endscn 0" to get a DV (1 = MV and 2 = Loss)

Thanks for the code. However, what is the quickest route to the USA West Coast? What order to I need to do the campaign, and what kind of victory or defeat (DV, Marginal Victory, or a loss) to get to the USA West Coast scenario the quickest? I am familiar with the campaign map in the library, but after playing around with the codes, I always end with some kind of resolution of the battle before getting to the USA. Can I start with the 43 Eastern Campaign and make it to the USA West? Thanks.

I haven't played the campaign but it looks to me that you need DVs until Barbarossa - DV there and choose Rush to Moscow, then DVs all the way to USA east - mid - west.

I did it--thanks! Just a recap for those interested in unlocking the advanced Field Marshall options...I started with the 1939 campaign and used to code to get all DVs. After Barbarossa, I chose Early Moscow and entered code for DV. After this DV, I was transported next to the USA East Coast scenario, and then I used the code to get DVs for USA East Coast, USA Mid West, and finally USA West Coast. Upon using the code for a DV at USA West Coast, all three "advanced" Field Marshall codes popped up (Guderian, Manstein, and Rommel)
