What are your favorite campaigns?

[Szperacz]

Could you name the top 3 or top 10 campaigns that you like the most?

[Dimitris GR]

IMHO, first you have to make a choice. The old e files and maps or the new.
There are so many good and great campaigns with the old staff, specially the CC campaigns. With the moderns e files and maps, Atomic E file is one-way ticket.

If you ask me
so I only played campaigns on Gustlik's e-file.. maybe someone will answer you
I understand that by starting this thread you are asking friends from this forum who play campaigns from the installation

If you want to ask about campaigns from the Polish forum - it's best

What campaigns do I like? --> not too long and not too difficult
As I have already written, in recent years I have mainly been making maps
If you count correctly - for OG and PEG there will be about 200 maps
I haven't even played 20 campaigns during this time...

If you like the new features in OG Weltkrieg with Atomic Efile is the reference.

Digging deep into my memory:
- Armageddon - Final Battle Between The Oder And The Elbe
- Axis at War
- A Swedish cold war campaign of which I cannot remember the name.
and lots of Steve Brown campaigns

I'm afraid there are currently more campaign makers than campaign players active here, so answers are bound to be a little biased...

Did you catch someone promoting his own campaigns?

And luckily there are more players than designers. There are more players than we think.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

[randowe]

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

So that means that there are at least 24 players!

And there are not 24 designers (Well, maybe there are, bit they stay hidden ).

Nah, that wasn't what I meant!
I meant content creators have their own vision of how things should be, which creates some bias.

And luckily there are more players than designers. There are more players than we think.

Well, I'm not very often here, but besides Szperacz (who claims to be dozens... ) I don't see many pure (non-content-creating) players. I sure hope I'm wrong, Open General needs players, lots of players.

Here is one. Never created a campaign. I admire those guys. Some of them do great jobs.

Here is another one (rather seldom, yes), although I do not post about them to avoid suspicions

Okay, that makes 3 players, which isn't yet "many" ("one, two, three, many")...

One has to wonder what you want to say

I wrote with around a dozen players about my campaigns in this forum alone, be it in the threads or DMs. And there are people playing Gustlik's campaign over at the Polish forum. Then there are long time lurkers that write a comment once a year. And most of the people that read forums never create an account, never write a post.

One has to wonder what you want to say

Don't you know this primitive way of counting?

Potential explanation:

At first, our hominid ancestors probably did not count very high. Many body parts present themselves in pairs—​arms, hands, eyes, ears, and so on—​thereby leading to an innate familiarity with the concept of a pair and, by extension, the numbers 1 and 2. But when those hominids regarded the wider world, they did not yet find a need to count much higher. One wolf is manageable; two wolves are a challenge; any more than that and time spent counting wolves is better spent making oneself scarce. (Full article)

Even in our "evolved" societies, we still have a threshold beyond which everything is considered "many". Example: "I spent many hours", and often this limit is indeed 2 or 3.

But we're going full speed OT here...

[Aleksandr]

Did you catch someone promoting his own campaigns?

OK, guys (and girls), I finished the designing and testing of another campaign, I just need to text it, and I'm feeling a little bit of an enthusiasm for writing! Not a real graphomania attack, but I may do something. So stay tuned, and may, maybe there will be something cool this weekend... or another.

Written three years ago...

Omg, I need to finish the campaign. In fact it's done except for the texts, but I didn't write a single word during those 156 weekends.

1. EFILE_CC33 FOR OUR FREEDOM AND YOURS Poland WW2 By: Mikael Anteskog (von Adler) CC pack
2. EFILE_CC20 ESTONIAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE AND INTERVENTION V6.0 Estonia Imperialism/WW1 By: Toliy CC pack
and it's modern adaptation:
EFILE_KAISER ESTONIAN INDEPENDENCE CAMPAIGN 1917-19 V1.2 Estonia Imperialism/WW1 By: Juan Carlos Preciado (Juankar), Toliy, von Schweinewitz Repository
3. EFILE_CC48 GERMAN OSTFRONT & FREIKORPS CAMPAIGN 1916-19 V4.0 Germany – Freikorps Imperialism/WW1 By: Toliy CC pack

I love these campaigns, much for the difficulty, which is high, especially the Estonian campaign. They also have a lot of research behind them and nice smacks etc. Very well made IMO. That being said, there are so many good ones out there from both eras of campaign-making. I really liked a lot of Steves pacific campaigns as well, to name just one more... Just roam free in the repository and you have years of exploring to do!

- A Swedish cold war campaign of which I cannot remember the name

The one with U137?

That's an interesting one. It's still available in the Gustlik e-file. W86 INCIDENT WITH U137 v.4.0b

Yes. That is the one. Thank you! Started playing it again.

, it is W89.

...
Yes. That is the one. Thank you! Started playing it again.

I have a big wish for you: There is no AAR about this campaign in the Polish forum. It would therefore be a good idea if you would write about it here in our Polish subforum. This would give many readers the opportunity to get to know the campaign.

If it's meant to be W89 the title is wrong in the Gustlik_Wx-download. It says W86.

Good luck, Wonderdoc! As I remember the campaign, it was enjoyable and a bit varied and different with a small nation. But the Swedish nation in Gustlik e-file wasn't really complete and it had some weird stats, especially for the naval units, if I remember correctly. I was in touch with Gustlik about improving the Swedish nation, and he started working on it. Maybe it's something the community could get to work on.

I got this information from the download overview: https://opengeneral.pl/kampanie_vi.html
The W86 is an Israeli campaign - Yom Kippur War 1973

Edit: I just saw that Sympatyc picked up on this error and posted it on the Polish forum for discussion. I'm sure our Polish friends will clear up the problem
