Minsk (Lt. Joker)

22 June 1941 - With the start of Operation Barbarossa, armies that stretch from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea are on march against the Bolshevik! We have taken every measure possible to ensure complete secrecy for our invasion; so we should expect the first enemy units we encounter to be totally ...

@goose Exactly and replaying a campaign multiple times, I think it is only natural to switch to a style that pushes the limits in some way or other. For me it is the historical path though and limiting myself. @dalfrede that sounds "interesting" :) Too bad I do not have enough time to try ...

Short answer: mostly roleplaying. I enjoyed the fight for those hills and the Halfaya Pass especially with underdog aux units :) Other than that I dislike to give up ground without need! So probably roleplaying again. In general I have a less optimized play style than you. I think everyone has certa...

Crete Airborne (Lt. Joker)

21 May 1941 - Operation Mercury is proceeding at full pace. Our objective is to join the initial paratrooper operation that started yesterday and to occupy all enemy objectives. The initial wave of Fallschirmjägers has encountered serious resistance and has only secured a single airfield use, just ...

Metaxas Line (Lt. Joker):

12 April 1941 - The Metaxas Line, a series of fortifications built between Greece and our Bulgarian allies, would normally prove a quite difficult obstacle to ovrcome. My success in Yugoslavia, however, has given us the perfect opportunity to completely outflank this defensive line! My task is to c...

Belgrade (Lt. Joker):

6 April 1941 - My first assignments will be to secure the Balkans for our upcoming campaigns in the East. The first task is it to aid the Italian efforts in the Balkans by fording the unconditional surrender of the Yugoslav army. With the help of our Romanian allies and their staging grounds, I am ...

Maginot Line (Lt. Joker):

21 June 1940 - One last bastion of French resistance remains standing. The forts of the Maginot Line. Despite orders to stand down from their leaders, the men of the forts refused to lay down their arms, so we must take them by force! My objective is to secure as many fortifications as possible, si...

Dijon (Lt. Joker):

14 June 1940 - With the near collapse of the French army, the time has come to gran as much of France as we can before armistice can take effect. To this end my task is to advance as far south as I can, securing several objectives along the way. I have to be aware of the Swiss border though and hav...

It is a though one, mostly because of the turn limit (and the mud :)). I am currently fooling around with Arras to get a better idea and there for sure are a lot of tanks. However it seems most of them are getting stuck somehow (in the north) and end up doing nothing. So far I am only 8 turns in and...

Reims (Lt. Joker)

9 June 1940 - Although the France's allies have fled the continent or surrendered, the French foolishly continue to resist! They have reprganized their surviving forces and are attempting to form a new line on the Somme and Aisne rivers. I have been tasked to breach this final line of defence. The ...

Fighting the British on a huge front line this one is not easy. The first instinct would be to concentrate forces, but unfortunately leaving enemy city hexes open for reinforcements can really be devastating on this one. So rush and block them! On the bright side the Royal Airforce is not so strong ...

Sedan's pretty tough on Manstein, isn't it?! It's awkward enough on lower levels of difficulty because of the close terrain, entrenched opponents, counterattacks and time-consuming flank-securing operations. Decided to use two overstrengthed PzIVs to clear the artillery at Sedan, as PzIIIs don't re...
