I spent all $$ on over strengthening my 3 Para units and the rest on a couple of tanks.
The Paras flew to the north-east VH as per usual and took it after landing and fighting with around 4 Inf defenders, later they moved south to take the lower VH and airfield
*FAIL* they ran into a large enemy force of Infs and Tanks just north of the VH and weren't able to crack them so they withdrew to their own VH to await help from the core when it eventually got there. The core made good progress to the various objectives and it looked like a quick easy BV was on the cards....... until the mud, the mud, the bloody mud

the advance slowed to a crawl and I thought the perfect BV run would fail on the last battle of the cam

thankfully after 4 or 5 turns the ground dried and we sped forward to take the lower 2 VHs then round the mountain range and north to finally help the Paras who were now defending for their lives, surrounded and desperate

I kept rebuilding them and resupplying them and even though I told them help was on the way their morale was broken

finally they heard the rumble of shell fire in the distance, the persistent rain cleared and friendly bombers appeared overhead and they celebrated as the attacking Swiss were reduced to ruins

with the last VH cleared our glorious armoured units surrounded it and waited while the Infil Tactics Branden made his way down a corridor of cheering troops towards the final objective of the war

a Panther moved aside to let them in to kill the defender, with fireworks exploding overhead and

from all sides our veteran Branden who was responsible for some of the most daring and victorious raids of the war walked in for the final victory and the guns fell silent
Final thoughts
I'm going to be brutally honest here- when I started up the first scenario, I absolutely hated the map

the next one was the same and I exited the cam

I sat there wondering why on earth the designer would sacrifice the beautiful landscapes of PG2 for the tile system of PG1

ahhh PG1 and the hundreds of hours I spent playing that cam over and over

I decided to go back into the cam and view it as a fancy PG1 cam rather than an ugly PG2 cam. As the cam went on I was completely sold on this map system, especially the ground condition change of graphics is way cool
As for the battles themselves even though I got a perfect BV run, it was by no means easy but it was fun and enjoyable, the battles were tight and well balanced the majority of the time and I enjoyed rushing and panicking at times as turns ran low so all in all a really fun cam, kudos to the designer and playtesters
Now comes my gripe- I really and I mean
REALLY didn't like that troops can't cross rivers during mud ground conditions

several times I had battle groups trapped while they excruciatingly moved hex by hex towards a bridge. Anyway if that's my only

I can't complain too much I guess.
