:howdy cmc , thank you for the wishes. The first scenario is again very difficult to play. Both auxiliary fighters were shot down. The German tanks were ineffective and my artillery were attacked by the Republican air force. The core units had great difficulty in capturing at least the eastern VH an...

I have great respect for cmc who is trying to play this campaign with 0% prestige. My experience from the 2016 and 2020 runs tells me that this task involves a lot of stress and frustration, and the fun factor is lost in the process. That's why I kept the 100% prestige. But to bring some more tensio...

Let's look back at the highlights of the last few days and weekends: The LeMans 24h race celebrates its 100th birthday. NBA superstar LeBron James starts the race. Ferrari wins the overall classification after an absence of 50 years. 24 Heures du Mans 2023 - FULL RACE HIGHLIGHTS The Denver Nuggets a...

15 Kiantajarvi tv OK, this is not fun, this is hard work. I get to the limit of the load with 50% prestige and use it exclusively for repairing my units. A fast advance is deadly because there are very strong Soviet reinforcements from the north-east and from the south-west respectively, with many ...

:howdy Hello Darek, nice that you are here. The campaign is slowly turning into a nightmare for me. All these unplannable Soviet reinforcements are unspeakably annoying. Again in this scenario: I have secured the central VH with a single AT unit as a precaution and all other units are fighting far a...

13 Liinahamari bv-2 I am critical and feel this scenario is very poorly built. The constant appearance of strong Soviet reinforcements at different times in completely nonsensical places (KV tanks in the mountains or mud) is not comprehensible and contradicts my military imagination. As a result, I...

12 Hyrynsalmi bv-1 The enemy VHs are defended with only a few units at the beginning and it looks like a quick victory. But it will not be as easy as in the previous scenario. The Soviets receive reinforcements with tanks and infantry in several places and make my positions waver. My losses are hig...

11 Tornio bv first furn :fused I think that this scenario does not work properly. I didn't read Darek's report until after I played the scenario. And I must say that Darek's way to victory is not the only way - I won already in the first turn. If I had analyzed the game more carefully, it would hav...

10 Algajarvi tv At the beginning it looked like a quick victory, but after only two turns I restarted because the Soviets launched a brilliant attack with lots of infantry and tanks and I lost core units. So back to start, gave a lot of OS to many units in the HQ and then built a defense line. My d...

Kharkov is a bit of a turning point in the game. The German side has so far benefited from the technical superiority of its weapons and units, but with the steady increase in the basic strength of the Allied units, this advantage is obsolete. In my run at 100%, I had 15 old fighters with 10/10 stren...

A look back at the last two weekends. Le Mans (FRA) hosted the 1,000th MotoGP round. After the restrictions of the Corona pandemic, a record crowd of about 280,000 spectators was eagerly awaiting the event. A Grand Prix weekend we'll never forget! | 2023 #FrenchGP Another fantastic motorsport event ...

It's good to see that you've picked up the fight again. I continue to follow the campaign with great interest.

... For me, these bands belong to the underground scene in the broadest sense, although two of them have contracts with major music labels. That's why the interest in the event was limited and it was moved to the small hall of the Hellraiser, which seats about 150 - 200 people. Dark Fortress promote...

Today I'm going to the farewell tour of "Dark Fortress" from Landshut (Bavaria/GER). They are supported by "The Spirit" from Saarbrücken (Saarland/GER) and "Asphagor" from Angerberg (Tyrol/Austria).

Music samples will follow tomorrow ...

https://abload.de/img/the-tour-to-end-all-tdcdlh.jpg After a break of more than two months, I visited the Arena Leipzig last night, which has room for about 12.000 visitors of concerts. Yesterday's event was almost sold out. The concert was supposed to take place already in March 2022, but was post...

9 Petsamo ltbv I started twice. In the first attempt I had not expected the Soviet reinforcements from the east and lost several core units in their attack. In the second attempt, I built a defensive line around the eastern airfield with AT and ATY and was able to repel the tank attack. The first V...

Snooker - a typically British sport, but a magical one in my eyes. The last few days on Eurosport have been exciting and were crowned last night with a new wonderful world champion.

Some players briefly mixed up the sport and acted out their wrestling ambitions. With all due respect to the emotions that the sport brings, but that shouldn't happen.

...talking about that what you all think if you look at video - is the stadium proper for hosting Bayern or Barsa? :) ... OK, I watched the video. I think that Barcelona or Munich will lose here - they are not used to play in front of so many spectators ... :belly ... in our country this kind of th...

8 Juntusranta bv-4 I started several times with different composition of my units. The player has to decide how to use the German air support - either to defend his own core units against the Soviet air attacks, or to attack the only VH in the north-east as support for the German auxiliary units in...

Definitely an upgrade to 105mm range-5 arties is recommended, however it is not so thick. :) Having range-6 with any kind of leader is crucial in some situations. I'm sure you're right, but I'll wait for another ATY leader and then upgrade. 7 Vuoksi ltbv (bv- 1 was possible) ... From my perspective...

... At least nice leaders pack arrived (maybe less exciting for the arty ;) ). ... I gratefully accepted the ATY leader. The ATY's own movement has increased from 1 to 2 as a result. I think this is good because there is no SPATY available and the increase in movement ensures uninterrupted ATY supp...

6 Lieksa loss At HQ, I modified INF and ATY and gave OS to my most experienced fighter and range-4 ATY. The plan: capture the VHs one by one, starting in the center of the map, then a swing east to the second VH, then the Soviet airfield and the last VH in the north-east. It was again a slaughter a...

5 Suvanto loss At HQ, I upgraded my tank and a fighter. I also bought my second BT-7. I started several times with different tactics, but in the end I was still unsuccessful and my troops in a disastrous condition (despite multiple repairs, as far as prestige is available). My plan: With the fastes...

Sabaton - 1916 (Motörhead-Cover ft. Mikkey Dee and Phil Campbell)

I'm glad you have joined me, Para :cool The only problem is that your AARs will go too late for me (at least for a time), so I cannot use it for new battle plans, but rather to compare results and learn what I did wrong. :lol However it is possible that you will overtake me somewhere on the way wit...

4 Kostomuksha bv-4 This scenario is more challenging. There is no real frontline. The Soviet troops come out of the woods from the left and right like the partisans. An ATY is surprised in transport, but manages to survive. I ignored some Soviet units in the west and south and concentrated only on ...

3 Koirinoja v A BV is not possible in this scenario. The road is long and some weak Soviet units with strength 2 are in the way. All in all, an easy scenario to play. Current scenario: Koirinoja, VH prestige is 40 , All map prestige is: 40 Army cost: 636 , Current prestige is 772 Prestige available...

2 Ilomantsi bv-2 After a few turns, the player receives reinforcements from auxiliary units. With them he can well defend the already captured VHs, which the Soviets want to recapture in a counterattack across the river. In the meantime, I have been able to bypass the enemy in the south in snowfall...

1 Tulemajoki bv-3 I will support Darek in his undaunted fight against the superior opponent in the far north. But this is only moral, because actually I benefit from his game and AARs. And so slowly the memories of my game many years ago come back, but only very vaguely ... :phew I divided my small...

The losing streak continues. :thud It does not look good. Unfortunately, I do not remember the campaign and can not give good advice. My general recommendations: Keep a good eye on army costs and cap, and try to use turn and map prestige to repair your units during the scenario. Losing experienced ...

Congrats Para! :cool Now you have two CCs completed at every possible levels. :-? Do you really have a plan to complete 76x5=380 CCs :lol Thank you, and ... no, I do not have the intention. There were campaigns that I certainly do not want to play another time. But if you play another one that has ...

10 Operation Konrad bv HQ: no activities, I am well equipped. Prestige is used exclusively for overstrength. Current scenario: Operation Konrad, VH prestige is 272 , All map prestige is: 1224 Army cost: 0 , Current prestige is 661 Prestige available on map yet is 544 pp ( 0 pp in VH to capture) * T...

Looking at your army composition I'm sure that you could take BV in turn 1 as well, after upgrading Hummel to 17K18. I understand you, but I never considered this possibility of a quick BV on the first turn. That's probably because I never explored the Soviet starting positions on the first turn an...

9 Seelow Heights bv-1 HQ: Upgrade two old fighters to Do-335.

8 Nordwind bv-1 HQ: Downgrade King Tiger to Panther G. Upgrade another StuG to JagdPz V and a Fighter to a better model. Current scenario: Nordwind, VH prestige is 680 , All map prestige is: 2550 Army cost: 0 , Current prestige is 2941 Prestige available on map yet is 34 pp ( 0 pp in VH to capture)...

I see you are trying to use King Tiger. I thought about that, but all heavy units are very slow in this efile. Movement 3 discouraged me :lol I share your assessment. However, the last two scenarios had short distances and I saw a good chance to put him to work. Before the next scenario, I downgrad...

7 Viipuri ltbv HQ: upgrade of two older StuG to JgdPz V. The battle was not difficult. I threw the drawn AD into the fight and gave it more experience. I also trained the paratrooper - he captured the VH in the southeast. Current scenario: Viipuri, VH prestige is 272 , All map prestige is: 476 Army...

6 Leningrad ltbv HQ: Upgrade the Tactical Bomber to a model with greater speed and better combat stats. Also OS on the ATY. The AI is aggressive and in the beginning some turns are exhausting. It is recommended to stay in the defensive positions and let the Soviet INF bleed to death in the support ...

5 Kanev ltbv HQ: Free upgrade of the Tiger to a Panther A, improve AD and over-strength to the ATY. Upgraded an INF to a Paratropper. As always - suspense until the end, whether the BV will succeed. In the center of the map a heavy battle breaks out for every village, every city. I defeat the enemy...

4. Prokhorovka Before the battle I only reinforced my most experienced units (Tiger, Nashorn, two arties and two fighters). ... Tank * Pz VI Tiger , 10Pz (DF) , 5 bars , 566 exp , Devastating Fire , 34 kill , 0 pp [+82 exp] ... We can't see how you give overstrength to the selected units or what th...

4 Prokhorovka bv-4 A short and quick scenario. There is only one attack wave with Soviet tanks and infantry, after that the Soviet resources are used up. No own losses, the Soviet ones are also only less than forty. Of the three airfields on the map, only the German one in the south-west works. Thi...

3 Zitadelle ltbv I failed in the first attempt after about three turns because I was overrun by the Soviet tanks and lost several core units. I restarted and, fortunately for me, received another prototype. At HQ I upgraded the tank, an AT and a fighter. There are some aux tanks and StuG, but many ...

Nice to see you have joined me, Para :yes I know you have played this CC zillion times already :lol Nice leader on your tank - maybe better than mine. Looks like your battle was a real slaughterhouse comparing to my attempt, guessing from Kills/Loses numbers. Maybe you have pushed more aggressive o...

1 Saturn on the Chir ltbv I tried to concentrate with tank and AT on the attack of the Soviet :t34 and prevent their breakthrough through the front line. This succeeded quite well, despite considerable losses. Some units I had to repair. But this is not a problem, because there is enough prestige f...
