28 Battle For Stalingrad bv-1 Some scenarios don't feel as difficult when you play the campaign for the third time. This scenario is one of them. The effective use of the long-range ATY is the main focus here. The artillery must destroy or damage the enemy's many AD and ATY positions to the point t...

27 The Majkop Oilfields bv-2 HQ: Change of KV-1 tanks to German Pz IIIM - models, 2x upgrade of 15cm K39 to 21cm K18. The map offers many possibilities to cross the Kuban River and to use the Kriegsmarine. In addition, four combined VH/SH-Hex changes after their conquest the right to place their ow...

I post a little question here In OpenGen\EFILE_CC06 is a campaign named "SPACIALNI KORPUS PRORIVA GENERALA BISTROVA" It doesent work because it didnt find a map. Any idea of repair. (It didnt find also any download link). The problem already existed last year. Please see if you can find a solution ...

26 The Don Basin ltbv Whenever the AI plays defensively, the game is relatively predictable. Usually only the red air fleet acts with occasional attacks, all other units wait for their destruction. So also this time ... As far as I remember I finished about BV-3, but did not finish and waited for i...

25 Kharkov 1942 ltbv The Soviets play aggressively and know how to use their nearly 30 tanks well and effectively. In the southwest they come up to the airfield of Kharkov. Only there I can stop them with great losses. It is equally problematic at the northern airfield, which briefly changes hands....

If the associated transport has a lot of movement (SdKfz. 251, for example, has 7 hex), then this is the ideal combination to combine movement and long-range firing or ammunition supply.
Under PG this combination did not work, but under OG I appreciate it very much, like randowe.

24 Winter Defense bv-2 At HQ I bought a second UHU to get a better view over the battlefield. The attack of the Soviets with a total of 22 tanks is fierce. Two VHs fall - first the one in the north and then one of the two in the center (Mozhaisk). Here the battle reaches its climax. The German tank...

Saw it back when Magenta offered the band on livestream. The facial expressions of the sympathetic singer amused me heartily. That's why the band has remained in my memory.

I haven't watch the livestream on Magenta TV, it was too hard as it hurt to look at them and feel that I should have been there :whine :irate Well, maybe in a few weeks you will get over the pain and have the desire to see to one or the other concert. Then I recommend the following link: https://ww...

23 Battle For The Kremlin bv-1 Moscow has fallen, but the Red Army does not give up. The Fw-189 UHU prototype is a great help in this scenario. With it, I can see the enemy AD and ATY positions well and successfully destroy them with my own ATY. The entrenchment of the defenders has increased to 12...

Herr Wehner ist Kurator am Militärhistorischen Museum der Bundeswehr in Dresden. Ich kenne die beiden älteren Videos, die über den Kanal das Panzermuseum Munster veröffentlicht wurden und denke, dass er weiß von was er spricht und schreibt. Werde mir auch die anderen Videos mit Interesse anschauen. ...

22 Towards Moscow Part II ltbv I abandoned the first attempt. Too many losses ... Before the second start, I invested in new units because I realized that it could be unnecessarily difficult with the existing number of units. So I added two tanks, two heavy ATY and one AD to my army. Current scenar...

I was suppoosed to go to W:O.A, but with the "Arrival stop" and then the "Total admission stop", me and my friends haven't travel to the Holy Ground :irate :( What a pity for you! I'm watching the livestream on Magenta Music on the Internet (at the moment Trivium / USA) - in Wacken the sun is shini...

:good I find the idea acceptable and capable of development. In a campaign, such a unit should definitely not be purchasable, but should be given to the player by the designer. This prevents an unwanted excessive use of the unit. Alternatively, it could be made available as an aux unit only in indiv...

The organizers have declared a travel stop. https://www.youtu...

21 Towards Moscow Part I bv-1 Another scenario with a very passive AI. The Soviets have few tanks and planes. I dominate the battlefield, but numerous enemy ATY and AD positions make my life difficult. In HQ, I again gave full OS to most of the bombers and guns. No upgrades, no purchases. Current s...

W:O:A Update: Due to massive rain over northern Germany, the arrival was temporarily interrupted today by the organizer. The festival area is not passable and the tent and camping sites for the visitors are only limited available. This will be a big challenge for all involved this week ... https://w...

20 The Pocket Of Kiev bv-2 I expected a strong entrenchment of all Soviet units, combined with an extremely passive behavior. Therefore, I brought my ATY and my bombers to full OS. It costs a lot of prestige, but victory is achieved faster and a bit easier. Even with the proven 8.8 in ground combat...

... Multiple interception is useless, ... Your assessment surprised me and I do not share it. Multiple Interception is the standard leader of fighters and the best way to protect one or more bombers against multiple attacks with a single fighter. This leader is unrivaled. Without a doubt, however, ...

19 Byelorussia Part III ltbv If you play with fewer units than usual, it happens that you don't have enough units in action at some front sections. This is what happened to me this time with the southern VH. I thought I had an easy game and could solve the problem with paratroopers, but I underesti...

Lately there was hardly any new music for me that really interested me and that I would have liked to share with you here. That's why today I'm going back to a milestone from Metallica's history - exactly 40 years ago their album "Kill 'Em All" was released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu5RT-3Kk08

18 Byelorussia Part II bv-1 The AI is strictly set to defensive. Even my units in transport mode, e.g. the 8.8 ATG with SdKfz. 251, are not attacked, although I park them in sight of the Soviet tanks to attack with them in the following turn. Also, the Soviet air fleet is fixed to the ground with E...

Looks like an incomplete installation. Does the problem exist with other efiles, or only with AG 3.0?
Did you use the all-in-one installer? http://www.open-general.com/installer-full.php

17 Byelorussia Part I ltbv The first contact with the enemy on the future Eastern Front was not a big challenge. Deviating from my two previous runs, this time I expected the Soviet reinforcements from the north / north-east and fought and destroyed them with all available units. Compared to 2020, ...

16 Seizing Balkans Part III bv-1 Crete - I'm not a fan of landing operations, but this time I managed it well. Right in the first round attacked the British planes over Maleme airfield with the aux fighters and damaged them badly. Everything else took time, but I made good progress on all fronts. M...

Hi Ramon, welcome back to the forum. As moderator of the CC sub-forum, I would like to ask you to post the AAR of the LXF campaign We Search For Ways in the Designer sub-forum as a playtest. http://forum.open-general.com/viewforum.php?f=7 The reasoning is simple: the CC sub-forum is only for campaig...

15 Seizing Balkans Part II bv-1 HQ: I bought the battleship Bismarck, which is now available. At the beginning I acted very cautiously and used only a few of my own units, mainly ATY and AD and a Recon. In doing so, I tried to stay out of range of British naval artillery and not provide the RAF wit...

14 Seizing Balkans Part I bv-1 At HQ, I upgrade the Italian bombers to Ju-88A-4's. The German TB has better HA and SA ratings and more ammunition. The very good NA value is identical to the Italian model. The Yugoslav army has few heavy weapons and is severely outgunned. The scenario is a simple ta...

13 Battle For London ltbv HQ: no purchase, no upgrade. I gave full OS to the first strike figther and the two ATY with leader. It was the expected hard fight in the center of the map. The British gathered a lot of ATY and AD here and were able to give constant support to the defending infantry and ...

12 Sealion Part II ltbv HQ: I bought two "Tauchpanzer III", which I later upgrade to Pz IVE for free. Also two StuG IIIA, which will later be upgraded to 8.8 free of charge, and one AD and ATY each. Compared to my run in 2020, I'm playing with a few less units (2020: 67), have killed almost the sam...

:howdy Hello and welcome back to the forum. It's always interesting to see what unit composition each player chooses in this campaign. There is a commonality among many players for a preference for Soviet tanks and artillery at the beginning of the campaign. With 150% prestige you are on the safe si...

Hello Dimitris, I have entered your results in the post "First MTC - Simply The Best". You have placed well in some categories

11 Sealion Part I bv-1 A very unpopular scenario for me - like all landing operations and battles where the enemy has radar bunkers and a clear view of (almost) the whole battlefield, while you are blindly looking for solutions even in FoW. In HQ I bought another German battlecruiser to quickly def...

10 Fortress Gibraltar bv-1 I have little fun with many of the following scenarios. The reason is the AI's one-sided advantage by using one or more radar bunkers (visibility 25 hex). With them, the AI plays with almost no FoW. This is especially critical in landing operations where many units are in...

9 "Will To Resist" bv-2 To make the battle easier I bought some temporary units like tanks, StuG, ATY and AD. But they were not really needed. The combat is relatively simple. In the north-west the river crossing is difficult and takes time. In all other places I make good progress. All paratrooper...

8 Breakout Of France bv-1 HQ: I bought a Bridge Engineer (Support Nation Germany), the well known 8.8 each as AD and AT and two Fighters. The air attacks of the Allies have good effect. ATY and Recon are damaged. Each flag is defended by at least one unit. Over Allencourt, the last VH in the west, ...

7 Holland In Sight ltbv Also in the third run I didn't manage to conquer all flags. The problem probably lies in my choice of tanks. KV-1 have good attack and defense values, but they are too slow for such a big map. In HQ I invested in several Paratroopers, two Recon, one Fighter and four Tactical...

6 The Ardennes Offensive bv-1 This scenario is one of the easy ones to play, because the opponent is not very strong. This is a good opportunity to acquire a few new units at HQ (AT, AD and Fighter) and train them to prepare them for later, more difficult scenarios. My units got two new leaders - b...

5 Crisis At Narvik bv-5 My own airfield is far away and my fighters cannot protect the airspace above my units south of Narvik in the first turns. Therefore I bought two AD with transport. Each ATY I put in the front line and could eliminate some important British defenders, e.g. AD. After that, ho...

4 Seizing Trondheim bv-1 At HQ I bought an 8.8-AT and the fourth Fighter. During the scenario I temporarily bought a Jagdkommando in the support nation Germany. This unit had the task to capture a VH in the mountains, because I don't have a suitable unit for that. Current scenario: Seizing Trondhei...

3 To Warsaw bv-1 This scenario offers a unique opportunity to buy and upgrade in the Soviet arsenal. I have already set the stage for the free upgrade of the tanks in the previous scenario. The Panzer III Flamm are exchanged into KV-1 and the Panzer IV C into a BT-5A. As announced, I sold all the a...

I carried out the announced radical upheaval in the composition of my army. All units were sold, except for the CS infantry and the Italian TB. Thus, I skipped the first upgrade stage and immediately had the best available units in my inventory. Many of the units sold had little experience, so selli...
