30 Invasion! , #43 , Tactical Victory Horrible start. Deployed most resilient units and best aty. Then tried to capture the VH/SH/port hex to deploy the rest of the core. By the time I managed to do that, vast majority of allied units was allready destroyed. Basically, allies made a stand at the be...

28 Konrad (Nov44) , #41 , Brilliant Victory +++ Proto: Dornier Do-335 "Pfiel" Deployed everything and just slowly pushed towards right top corner (Buda) and right bottom corner with two battle groups. Soviet armor was formidable, and there was an abundance of planes, but not too bad. Woul...

25 St. Lo Counterattack , #38 , Tactical Victory First time, that I had a feeling my core is too small. Weathered out all the allied attacks, the counterattacked. Lost a bunch of OS points. Missed BV by 2 turns, so I just played out till last turn TV, to get more experience o a new aty and all the ...

23 Drive on Moscow , #36 , Tactical Victory At HQ I upgraded another Pz IV to a Panther and os'ed some AD. Went straight through the center. There were several small soviet groups, that made progress slow. In the end I was no where near a BV, so I settled to play out till LTTV. Captured all the fla...

22 Leningrad43 , #35 , Brilliant Victory HQ: Sold the Pz IVJ proto Pz IVF2 -> Pz VI Tiger Pz VI Tiger -> Pz V Panther A A slugfest. Basic tactics of positioning aty to fire at soft targets, then tanks and engineers to mop up. Aux units suffered heavily. Took a LTBV. Current scenario: Drive on Moscow...

21 Novgorod1943 , #34 , Brilliant Victory +++ Proto: Pz IVJ -75mm L/48 Much more tighter then previous scenario. At HQ I upgraded Panther D to Panther A and OS'ed it a bit. During the scenario I lost most of the OS points on tanks :dunno Soviets resisted really fiercly, and it took me a lot of time ...

Status report: 20 Zitadelle , #33 , Brilliant Victory Had virtually no pp after Africa, so just upgraded one Pz IV to a Panther D and OS'ed one aty. Punched through the soviets in the south and center. Then sent one group on the far bank of the Severskii Donets river to take the VH there and ultimat...

Northwest Afrika , #32 , 2nd try, different result, Tactical Victory :yes Decided that just taking a loss first time around just wasn't really fair. So went another round, did things slightly differently, and voila!! got a TV. This time I pushed more aggressively down teh southern route against the ...

I was playing some CC's in past years, on and off. Finished I think at least 5 of them. But save files are probably lost. I distinctly remember playing Adlers Polish CC, and getting hammered in one of the later scenarios that put me off PG for some time. I do think I actually finished it later on. T...

18 Tunesia Counterattack , #31 , Brilliant Victory +++ Proto: Pz V Panther D Remembering how these north Africa scenarios go, I went and bought 3 more italian SPAD's :uzi . I completely ignored the italian VH on the right side of the map and just deployed everything around the city with the SH/VH co...

Scenarios 13 to 17: 13 Klin , #17 , Victory Upgraded all figters to FW-190A. Not much to remember. Captured all VH's then waited for turns for V to run out. 14 Southern Front 1942 , #27 , Brilliant Victory Upgraded Stug's to StuG IIIF -7.5cm L/43. An interesting scenario. The Don river proved a chal...

Scenarios 7 to 12: 7 Pursuit To Tobruk , #10 , Brilliant Victory Remebering from my run on CC03 I anticipated huge amounts of british planes. So first order of bussiness, upgrading SPAD's to italian 90/53 90mm /Portee. These are great SPAD's and they can last till the end of campaign. Also upgraded ...

So a little bit more detailed report for first 6 scenarios. 1 Madrid Offensive , #0 , Brilliant Victory +++ Proto: Pz IVD -75mm L/24 Bought a tac bomber (Heinkel He-111) and just ploughed through. Waited for a LTBV and got a tank proto (Pz IVD -75mm L/24). All in all, easier then I remembered. 2 Cie...

Thanks.

Just a little question for later entry in the SoH: Moredecai = Mordecai?

Yeah. Was never good at spelling Not actually sure, whether I misspelled the first time or the second time. Don't think it matters much.

So, I haven't done one of these officially in over a decade. So maybe time to do one. And what better way, then playing one of the old CC's I haven't played in the past. CC01. I did finish CC03, as I managed to deduct from scroll of honour, and by having a feeling of familiarity with some scenarios....
