Campaign Path for DLC 42/43 West?

[b52pilot1]

I m just getting into this DLC (2nd scenario at this time). I was wondering, does anyone have a campaign path? Previous DLCs seemed to reward you if you achieved Decisive Victorys, but it was nice to have a campaign path when there were choices about which scenario to choose next.

No pretty chart, but the answer is pretty simple. Here is a copy from where I answered it the other day.

And no, I don't think a DV leads anywhere differently in this campaign.

Just downloaded the new DLC and finished the first two missions -> Great!
Is there a campain tree of this campain somewhere?

I don't think there's a printed one any where yet. But it's not hard to describe: There is branching at two points:

1) Following Syracuse (#6), you can play the Etna Line north (#7a, vs. Americans), or Etna Line South (#7b, vs. british). Both courses take you to #8, Messina.
2) Following Messina (#8), you can defend against British and Italians (#9a and #10a, Catanzaro and Taranto), or Americans (#9b/#10b), Salerno Landing and Salerno Counter-Attack. Both branches return you to Volturno, the final scenario.

I don't think there were any DV/MV dependent paths. Sorry I don't have the graphics program or skills to make one, but somebody will whip one up soon I am sure.

So if you want to save files to go play later paths, save games #6/Syracuse and #8/Messina on the last turn.

Thanks for the info! I appreciate you taking the time to answer this...again!

Felt like a moral imperative to answer. One of the favorite pictures I have of myself is helmet on, sitting in the co-pilot seat of B-52G. I was eight years old; quite a thrill!

[b52pilot1]

I bet that is a cool picture! I only flew B-52Hs, but the cockpit was nearly identical to the G model. I am still in the US Air Force, but have been transferred out of B-52s and into another aircraft....and I really miss flying the Big Ugly Fat Fellow!

[hs1611]

Fellow? That's not how I heard it!!

[GSlapshot]

I flew D's, F's, G's & H's. Vietnam 72, Desert storm 91. Retired from Boeing & USAFR. Got cool videos of both B-52s &B-1's @ work.

[b52pilot1]

Very cool! I flew H's in the late 90's and early 00's. Transferred to AWACS in 2001 and was underwhelemd at how other airplanes go about their business. I "grew up" as a BUFF guy and I will always consider "bombs on target" as the primary mission of the USAF. Believe it or not, there are quite a few USAF communities that do not think like that!

Then there was Chief (USN).

Now you guys...the Army is being outnumbered really fast here

[GSlapshot]

I was a navigator on B-52's & an instructor @ Castle when I got out. I was a targeting officer in the reserves & trained with the 552 from Nov 1979 to Jun 1987 so I am familiar with AWACS. While with Boeing I had an office on the east part of Tinker since I was head of B-1B Software Design from Oct 2001 to Mar 2004.

Well Mongo, it takes all of us support jokers (REMFs) to enable you: the cutting edge of the sword!

Uhhhh...long time since I was the out on the sharp edge.

Now I'm just like a Swiss Army Knife...a jack of all trades and a master of none

[yyymale]

I'm another USAF REMF. 20 years and 8 days worth...

[chief]

While never a pilot, I did aircrew for 20 years, 1949/1968 with USN in P4M1* Mercators, (qualified aerial gunner, radar op, radio op), P2V-6B, P2V5's, and P2V5F's*, P2V3's, Neptune Varieties, ZPG's (Blimps) and WV2's Lockheed Early Warning, also had time in B25, R4D, PBY4B aircraft, and even got to fly a Bat-Bomb in training. Note to all above fly-jockeys, we did all this mit PROPELLERS.

*I lied, the Mercators and 5'fs had jets along with the recips.
