Post by Pixteca »

I'm a newbie to the game and have been lately trying to learn more and more about World War II history, and I'm loving this game. Would this be an accurate order to play the campaigns? What would you change?

Boot Camp
1939: Winter War
1939: Blitzkrieg
Kriegsmarine
1937: Morning Sun
1938-41: Red Star
1940: Burma Road
U.S. Pacific
1941: Sandstorm
1941: Rising Sun
1942: U.S. Marines
1942: Panzerkrieg
1942-43: Red Steel
1943: Endsieg

Funny thing, I played Blitzkrieg first and was so annoyed by Moscow that it almost put me off the game entirely. Playing Blitzkrieg, Panzerkrieg and Endsieg in reverse order was WAY more fun. These days I'm 99 percent about the multiplayer though. Highly recommend you try "The Russian Campaign" map, true to the title it's basically an entire campaign for one on one human opponent.

You can't really do them in order since most of them run concurrently to each other. The German and Japanese campaigns both run simultaneously in a wacko what-if-the Axis-magically-won-because-Player1-is-such-an-operational-genius-that-economic-constraints-are totally-irrelevant alt-history, for instance.

Also the Boot Camp takes place right before the US campaign, it's not first chronologically, Morning Sun is.
