Slitherine

Hello everybody, I am new to these forums and to Slitherine games. I have spent the last week playing Battle Academy and Battle Academy 2: Eastern Front as well as Order of Battle: WWII. I have all the DLC for these and plan to purchase Burma Road for Order of Battle when it releases as well.

My goal was to make my own version of a true World War II Grand Campaign covering as many fronts and battles as I could manage using these three games and various custom scenarios and campaigns.

I will be covering my playthrough here as I progress through WWII beginning with the Second Sino-Japanese War on July 15, 1937.

This is my current list of campaigns I will be playing in chronological order. If anyone has any suggestions for custom campaigns and scenarios I may have missed, please let me know and I will check to see if I should add it in.

The dates are the date the next battle in that campaign takes place. I have also listed the game the campaign is in and if it is one of the games main campaigns or a mod.

From now on I will be posting my replays as well. I don't claim to be a professional at this game, as I just started playing. This is my first time playing through all these, so I'm learning as I go. I already did the tutorials and have played these types of games since Panzer/Allied/Pacific/Star General and a lot of good ones in between. I love strategy and wargames and the Battle Academy and Order of Battle series is really blowing me away so far. If anyone has any comments/tips/suggestions as far as my gameplay goes, please don't be afraid to let me know as I'm always looking to learn.
