Scenario #37 - Defending Normandy Part I, BV, Easy-Medium After so many fights on Eastern front I am finally transferred to the west.Compared to Russians Allies have much more and better air units, but on the other hand their ground forces poses no threat.The only obstacle in this scenario is terrai...

Scenario #36 - The Pocket Of Korsun, BV, Hard When I first played this campaign Korsun was nightmare scenario for me.Now seems a bit easier, but it is still tough.Enemy has superior armor, plus combination of winter weather and long road don't make it easier. In previous scenario I received Tiger II...

Scenario #35 - Defending Zhitomir, BV, Medium At the HQ I upgraded 1 light AT to AT Hvy Sturmtruppen 43.I have a feeling I will need it. This is another scenario where AI has aggressive stance, plus winter conditions. At the start I deployed units in northwestern HQ and formed defensive wall.I left ...

Actually there are some unofficial patches for Space Empires V, namely from Captain Kwok.

Here are my favorites: Civilization IV - has some excellent mods Civ IV - Colonization -> Colonization in modern interface.Also has excellent mods, while keeps original flavour. Starcraft Broodwar Space Empires V - has some of the best 4X games features.Unfortunately it is quite buggy. Warlords Batt...

Scenario #34 - The Dnepr Line , BV, Medium I am back after a long vacation from OG.To be honest playing with bad weather time after time was quite annoying.I don't remember such a bad streak. Anyway, this scenario is one of the where AI has aggressive stance, with strong air force.Fighters are bette...

Hello Para, Beauty of the game is everyone can make their own style.For example I find T-28 crucial for me, especially in first 25-30 scenarios.There is no situation they can't solve. :uzi . Then again KV-s is heavyweight on it's own, and certainly has some advantages.Don't get me wrong, there are s...

It's been some time since I paused this campaign and reading this(and from cmc) now I feel renewed wish to continue. A few notes on my side, although a bit late: I really like Owerwatch promotion, but on tanks.It allows fast moving forward without too much fear enemy will ambush me.And it is of grea...

Scenario #33 - Operation Zitadelle Part II , BV, Easy Really useful scenario, as enemy is static(ent=10), and there is a lot of time to gain unit experience.There wasn't even a need to deploy all units. I can confirm there is exception to static rule.If enemy VH is empty he will send nearby unit to ...

Scenario #32 - Operation Zitadelle Part I , BV, Medium So.. famous operation Zitadelle. In HQ I received heavy AT proto, which looks wonderful.It is slow, but power + engineering skill is impressive.Finally HA bombers appeared, but since they didn't have experience their usage was very limited.I als...

:howdy You play the campaign with 100% prestige for the AI. What effect do you observe on the course of the game? Does the AI repair its battered units or buy new ones and bring them into play via supply hexes? I was observing last few scenarios and AI is definitely repairing experienced units.Not ...

Scenario #31 - Kharkov 1943, BV, Very Hard Another scenario with large map and nightmare winter weather.Out of 15 turns only 5-6 was fair, so it was quite difficult to fight.All enemy units are now with 5 bars and 15/15 strength. My starting positions were in south in 3 places.2 on the west, and one...

Scenario #30 - Stopping Red Tide, BV, Medium - Hard Scenario with bad weather, almost flat terrain and no airfields.Initially enemy has 8 airplanes, so combined with weather it is a bit tricky. Soviets had huge amounts of armor, but still with only 1 range. First trial I had to quit as I run out of ...

Scenario #29 - Escaping From Stalingrad, BV, Medium - Hard In HQ I overstrengthened 3 arties with leader. This is siege battle played on large map, but concentrated on very little space.So it was hard to deploy all my units. Starting position is in the middle west, and enemy with aggressive stance c...

Scenario #28 - Battle For Stalingrad, BV, Easy - Medium Tigers, tigers... :uzi Finally Tigers become available, and I bought I bunch of them.Plus AT Hvy Sturmtruppen 42, which are much better then stats suggest as they have Engineer skill.In contrast I sold old Sturmtruppen tanks, as they are now ho...

Scenario #27 - The Majkop Oilfields, BV, Medium This is quite large and interesting map.At the beginning no airfield was available, but it wasn't a big deal.This time enemy had only 3 air units, and they were lured into trap, so by the end of turn 2 there were no more air threat.Also there are 17 tu...

Usually AI buy new units, but on several occasions also repaired damaged ones.

Scenario #26 - The Don Basin 1942, BV, Medium-hard A time for major overhaul of the army. After crucial role in so many scenarios I finally upgraded T-28 into 2 range german tank, at no cost. I sold almost all of my arty and instead purchased 6 range models.3 cheap artillery units were upgraded to s...

Profa

Scenario #25 - Kharkov 1942, BV, Hard Another scenario where AI is set to agressive. In HQ I purchased several new fighter models, and as per my policy i didn't upgrade old units.This made scenario very difficult because enemy now has better both ground and fighters.To complicate things even more th...

Scenario #24 - Winter Defense, BV, Medium After so many scenarios finally came one where AI is on the offensive.Bad winter weather limited my air power, but few crucial turns turned to fair, so I could stop the enemy.His poorly protected arty was target for my bombers, heavy KV-s were slowed down by...

Scenario #22 - Battle For The Kremlin, BV, Very Hard Another siege scenario, even harder then before.Enemey is not very dangerous, but time is.And bad winter weather.On turn BV-1 I was not even close to capture all targets.Almost whole map is one large fort, and soviet units are entrenched at level ...

Profa

Scenario #22 - Towards Moscow Part II, BV, Hard Famous or maybe infamous Tula, however you like.AI is on defensive stance, again with entrenchment 10, so it doesn't move until attacked.That was lucky for me, as it had 3 tank groups, which could wreak havoc. Still, this was hard.Enemy is well dug in,...

Scenario #21 - Towards Moscow Part I, BV, Easy-Medium This is large map, with numerous cities to capture, and therefore a lot of PP.Maybe most of whole campaign. After a few harder scenario this one was considerably easier.Enemy is scattered among cities, with few offensive units.All others are just...

Currently I am playing old campaign, which requires old engine.It's not a big deal so I will keep it as it is for now.

Is there a forum option to insert picture from computer?Not from web hosting?
I would like to add it for campaign report.

Scenario #20 - The Pocket Of Kiev, BV, Medium This scenario is different then usual.I can deploy units from all 4 corners, and enemy entrenchment level is 10, which means it will not move until attacked. Also SPAT 2-range is finally available, but with with high entrenchment level it takes several s...

Scenario #19 - Byelorussia Part III, BV, Medium Another scenario with similar setup.I needed to break enemy defense, but this time it has more tanks, and they are far superior then mine.Other then that there is not much danger. I deployed 3 groups. Southern one had slow start because I didn't deploy...

Scenario #18 - Byelorussia Part II, BV, Medium-hard Usual scenario where I have to cross river first.This time enemy is better prepared with overlapping units, plus armored reinforcement(including KV-s) arrived to cover soft targets. In this scenario air power played a key role, bombing and strafing...

Scenario #17 - Byelorussia Part I, BV, Medium From fighting British I transferred on Eastern front vs monster Soviet tanks. At HQ I purchased several new bombers and arties. Also 3 cheap bombers and tanks.Once they collect experience they will be good candidates for retrofit.In the end I overstrengt...

Scenario #13 - Battle For London, BV, Medium This is mostly trench warfare, where enemy is dug in.It doesn't have offensive units except air, so it is relatively easy to deploy and position mine(arty) during the game.There are many VH to capture, and consequently prestige points. I split units in 3 ...

Scenario #12 - Sealion Part II, BV, Medium I purchased infantry and small and cheap arty, to gain experience and later upgrade it to heavy guns.

Scenario #11 - Sealion Part I, BV, Medium-Hard In previous scenario I made a mistake by purchasing German instead of Italian battleships.They are better in ship to ship combat, but it doesn't matter much.Bombers did most of the job to clean the Royal Navy, so more important was ground attack, where ...

:howdy You're right - the last engine that works well with campaigns made previously (with Al 0.91) is here http://www.luis-guzman.com/zips/OpenGenDD.zip The SDL2 engine causes a more static game - in addition, it does not implement the assigned OHs or driving behind the "guide" I tested ...

Scenario #09 - "Will To Resist", BV-2, Easy At the start scenario looks very tough, but it is just illusion.From whole northern front I had to cross river that looked well defended.However enemy had mostly weak units, and almost all arty was 3 or 4 range. On western side what looked like b...

Scenario #08 - Breakout Of France, BV, Easy This is a bit bigger map, with far away WH-s to capture.

Scenario #07 - Holland in sight, BV, Medium-hard This scenario probably offers most PP in whole campaign, so it was really useful.Therefore I bough several units as soon as opportunity presented. Another relatively easy map, although it was a bit tight with time as I didn't use aux units.There were ...

Scenario #06 - The Ardennes Offensive, BV, Easy Another (very) easy scenario.Enemy had few units and airplanes and was without radar.So I played without using aux and in the end it almost cost me BV.Main obstacle was wooded area, which limited movement. I even managed to set a few AA traps for enemy...

Scenario #05 - Crisis at Narvik, BV, Easy At start scenario looked hard.A lot of enemy airplanes, several navy ships close to me and rough terrain.So I put arty as much to east as possible.
