Okay, since I have a solid DAK campaign in the makings I thought playing the existing one (which has obvious flaws)
might be the best way to get back into the OG action.
I'll give it a go @100 since it was so long ago I have last played it.
You have to basically set your future core up with prestige (which is one major flaw) instead of free given core units,
one has to collect as many 10-strength units as possible because later buys and even Protos are 5-strength only
and overstrengthing units is no option since there is not a whole lot of prestige to be gained due to some overall
bad cap management of this campaign.
So stacking and piling up 10-strength units right out of the gate is a definitive must but you can't go all in on cheap units only
because you have to be at least somewhat competitive in the early goings to achieve some BV's.

Thats why I decided to go with:

Infantry:
2 x Infanterie w/o transports to do the fighting
2 x Feldpolizei w/o transports to be just available as 10-strengths to get upgraded later on
Artillery:
2 x 7,5 leFK18 with Maulesel
2 x 7,5 leIG18 w/o transport - same here just to have 10 strength-arties in stock for later improvements
Anti-tank:
1 x 5cm PaK38 with Pferdewagen for now
2 x 3,7 PaK36 w/o transports for later
Recon:
1 x PSW 221
Air-Defense:
1 x 3,7 FlaK36 with Pferdewagen for now
1 x 2 FlaK38 w/o transport for later
Tanks:
2 x Pz IB
Well, 2 or more 10 strength Panzers might be helpful later on, especially on the wide open desert terrain,
allthough they might not provide much fighting power until they are at least upgraded to Pz II or above.
Fighter:
None
Bomber:
None
With this picky core building setup buying Fighters or Bombers early on are out of the equation for me,
meaning Protos and lots of AD will have to do.
Maybe a Ar-196 might be an option depending on available PP's at the end of the first battle.

With a paltry 44 PP left and at least some PP's gained during the first scenario,
I might end up buying 1 to 3 more 10-strenght units, depending
on what I choose.
Off we go!

Beda Fomm - Benghazi

Nice Start to this one but I have to admit:
Without all those valuable Aux units, I wouldn't have had the slightest chance.

Especially the Aux Stuka and the italian mobile Inf and Art units you need to reach the farthest VH out northeast.
Half of my core units didn't even make it up the map because they had no transports.
Anyway I had some 370 PP's available with the last turn und quickly spent it on
Infantry
1 x Landwehr w/o transports
Tank
1 x Pz IB
Artillery
1 x 7,5 leIG18 w/o transport

So I added three10-strength core units to the fold late plus gathered a solid 17K18 Arty on SdKfz 9 as Prototype.
Given the fact that I now sport a lot of crappy units (10 strength but still crappy) and the competition will only get stronger
I decided to sell off the Proto Arty.
I wouldn't do this normally because a long rang Arty (9 hexes) to soften and outgun the British 25 pdr guns is a big asset even though only at 5 strength.
What's also great is that a lot of the crappy units got some solid XP despite being crappy.
Both tanks, the recon and 2 arties manage a bar - though no leader.

Halfaya Pass & Sollum Battle

Upgrades before the scenario:

Artillery:
Sold off Proto 17 K18 , SdKfz 9
1 x 7.5 leIG18 w/o transport --> 10.5 leFH18 , Opel Blitz
Infantry:
2 x Feldpolizei w/o transport --> 2 x Infanterie w/o transport
1 x Landwehr w/o transport --> Infanterie w/o transport
Tank:
1 x Pz IB --> Pz IIIC
Air Defense:
2 FlaK38 w/o transport --> 3.7 FlaK36 , Pferdewagen

Playing the numbers game with lots of core units - allthough a lot of them still sub standard in terms of equipment/mobility - paid off big time.
I suffered a lot of hits from the British Arty in the process and had to remove several badly beaten up units to avoid suffering core kills.
Nonetheless the quick outflanking maneouver worked well and I was able to roll up Halfaya pass from behind with the Recons and tanks while Infantry, AT and Arty kept em busy at the front.
Finally having a tank with some punch helped also.
Was 3 turns early but still a somewhat tough battle.
Solid XP gained again and the first leader collected - Det. Def. on Tank!

All of the hard earned 384 PP's will go into transports.

Operation Crusader

Before the scenario:

Tank:
1 x Pz IB --> Pz IIF
Artillery:
1 x 7.5 leFK18 , Maulesel --> 7.5 leFK18 , Opel Blitz
Anti Tank:
1 x 3.7 PaK36 w/o transport --> 5 PaK38 , Pferdewagen

So far this is the best scenario.

It really depicts historic Operation Crusader - aside from units involved - very well.
From map to battle flow.
Given this big time numbers advantage in British units - especially Arty - the AI could have pushed harder and with more intensity
to make it even tougher on the human player.
This was never in doubt, I was 3 turns early again and even took Tobruk with a relatively lackluster Kampfgruppe
mainly from Aux and crappy core units.
But it was fun nonetheless.

I got the worst leader possible for an Arty - Bridging.

And was awarded a Fighter Prototype (Me-155)
Not sure if it's wise to keep a 5-strength Fighter around when there are still many core units badly lacking a transport.

Next one please.

Mersa el Brega 1942

At HQ there was NO long hard look neccessary.
We are in 1942 already and I am in dire need of up to date equipment.
So NOT selling off the Me-155 never really was an option.

With some 500 PP's I once again improved some of my most crappy core units:
Infantry:
2 x Infanterie w/o transports --> 2 x Infanterie , Opel Blitz
Artillery:
1 x 7.5 leIG18 w/o transports --> 10.5 leFH18 , Opel Blitz

Getting 2 Infantry units up to speed as well as an enhanced Arty unit should open up tactical opportunities.

Thanx to some of the aforementioned flaws of this campaign I had to swallow a Victory here.

Due to limited deployment I had to leave 5 units at bay denying them valuable XP, bars and possible leaders.
1 Inf, the HQ recon, the crappiest arty, 1 AT and the PzIB layed a goose egg in XP due to this sutpid deployment limitation.
I also had to badly scramble to reach the VH far north in time only to be denied in the end.
4 attacks by tanks and infantry went for the total loss of 1 strength point of the entrenched British infantry.
Anyway, got an Influence leader on Infantry.

That very same leader would have had an even greater impact on a Tank, Arty or AT though.
It can only get better from here on.

Pursuit to Mechilli

With very limited options at HQ (a mere 200 PP's available) I had a hard time figuring out which
of the many urgent needs should be adressed first.
Of course the argument could be made to quickly upgrade that obsolete Pz IB or the 3,7 PaK w/o transport but
I went for Infantry instead and Infantry only.
Just because the lack of mobility of some units still is a major bummer on these wide open terrains.

Infantry:
1 x Infanterie --> Infanterie , Opel Blitz
1 x Infanterie , Opel Blitz --> Grenadiere , Opel Blitz

Back in the BV column!

Another Proto and another leader as well.

This was easier than anticipated as the far NE corner hex was only guarded by one sub-10 strength unit.
I played it out though to squish out max XP.
Still some units are so bad and immobile it hurts.

Shock tactics on Infantry is a rather so so leader.

Gazala Line [Unternehmen Theseus]

With a rather big battle upcoming and parts of my core army still looking terribly weak and outdated, I really have to make a decision here.
Usually this is a no brainer to keep that

JgPz 755(r).
It's a big armoured tank destroyer, shooting 2 hexes and it packs some serious punch as well.
Even at 5-strength this baby is quite an asset to any ambitious military formation.
But - and it's a big BUT, I have only 334 PP's to spend and I badly need transports for 2 Inf units, 1 Arty and one AT unit - not even mentioning
at least some sort of upgrades for 3,7 PaK, 7,5 leIG18 and Pz IB.
Even if I liquidate the 755 I won't be able to plug all the gaps and fill all the needs but at least some of the most glaring ones.
I was lucky so far to not only receive 3 Protos in 4 tries but I also snatched rather solid ones and so far couldn't keep a single one of them.

HQ looks like this:
Sold off JgPz 755(r) Proto

Tank:
1 x Pz IB --> Pz IIIF

Artillery:
7.5 leIG18 w/o transport --> 7.5 leIG18 , Opel Blitz

Anti-Tank:
3.7 PaK36 w/o transport --> 7.5 PaK40 , SPferdewagen

Infantry:
1 x Infanterie --> Infanterie , Opel Blitz

Like stated earlier, this looks like a tiny drop of water on a flaming inferno but it'll have to do for now.
While my tanks are far from the puny Pz IB's I started with they still are clearly inferior to most British types they will meet in this battle
that's why I opted to go for the 7,5 cm 2 hex AT gun.

Very hard scenario.
A BV was nowhere near realistic.

And the V was last turn, so actually closer to a TV.
There simply are too many enemy armoured units covered by Arty and Infantry concentrated in the center of the map.
Taking Bir Hachim in the south early was easy, also outflanking the designated front line was no problem.
But getting all those slow unit all across the map (with all the supply problems on desert maps)
only to find tons of bunkers around the VH in the far NE and NW really made a quick progress unlikely.
I had to bait the tanks into AT traps and had to lure the RAF fighter planes into AD traps as well to reach late air superiority with the inferior Italian/Luftwaffe planes - but that took time and ate up game turns faster than I wanted.

But even then it seemed it took an eternity dealing with all those boatlods of remaining British tanks of all varieties.
Some really awful battles results added insult to injury forcing me to withdraw 3 badly beaten up units from the front around turns 8-10

Including I./PzReg.5 (down 1 SP), IV./SchützReg.115 (2 SP) and HQ recon with 2 SP.
At least the IIIC got a leader but a shabby one for a tank (Infil.Tac).
Speaking of leaders: 3./ArtReg.(mot.) 33 got a Dev. Fire leader.

The real battle of Gazala was a bit different in my book.
I try to depict it better in my own campaign.

Next one please...

Mersa Matruh

Nice surprise at the HQ as I found 1104 ready to be spent.

This could not have happened at a better time.

HQ this time:

Artillery:
1 x 7.5 leIG18 , Opel Blitz --> 10.5 leFH18 , Opel Blitz
1 x 7.5 leFK18 , Opel Blitz --> 10.5 leFH18 , Opel Blitz
1 x 7.5 leFK18 , Maulesel --> 7.5 leFK18 , Opel Blitz
Infantry:
1 x Infanterie w/o transport --> Infanterie , Opel Blitz
1 x Grenadiere , Opel Blitz --> SS Grenadiere , Opel Blitz
Tank:
1 x Pz IIF --> Pz IIIF
Anti-Tank:
5 PaK38 , Pferdewagen --> JgdPz II PzSelb

It's funny, after spending over 1100 PP's in a hurry I am still dissatisfied with the final results.
Still lots of outdated, crappy units all across the board.
And the mobility crisis isn't over yet since 2 AD and AT units are still only horse towed

Anyway, to battle!

Rough sledding - but achieved a last gasp BV

Pretty identical formula: Bring an iron fist south and punch through their lines then roll up the flank from behind.
Decent plan but the RAF and some concentrated arty gatherings made life miserable for our guys and obviously had plans of their own.
Again I had to withdraw 2 units entirely due to low strength and had to be very careful with 3 more because of some terrible rugged defense battle results.

Newly upgraded SPAT proved to be a decent improvement.

I hate this scenario.

The original one from SSI was fun but this one isn't at all.
584 PP's in the bank.
Not nearly enough to do some splash shopping.

HQ transactions:

Tank:
1 x Pz IIIC --> Pz IIIJ
Anti-Tank:
1 x 7.5 PaK40 , SPferdewagen --> 7.5 PaK40 , Opel Maultier
Air Defense:
3.7 FlaK36 , Pferdewagen --> 3.7 FlaK36 , Büssing-NAG 4500

Decided to get most bang for the buck and upgraded mobility on AD and AT and finally brought in a decent tank to work with.

The thing about this scenario is: If you set it up right in the first 3-4 turns and have just little bit of luck regarding battles results,
it's a cake walk and the BV the only logical result.
But if you screw up the first 5 turns, you not only won't have any realistic chance of a BV,
even a loss might be downright probable.
I had to tinker 3 times with the best path of the paratroopers gliders crowding the port hex - which is vital in this one -
without losing too many SP's due to the ridicolous amount of British AD placed all over the island of Malta.
You will lose SP's on the flight path for sure to make that clear - but just how many is the deciding factor.
If your 3 paratroopers surrounding the Port hex all have less than 6/5 Strength left - good luck.
Mine were at 8,7 and 4 SP's - just enough to make it work.
Next step is to try to empty out the leadered enemy arty with attacks from the Italian Auxes so they won't shoot your paratroopers
around the port hex to pieces before they even have a chance to capture the port.
Digging out the entrenched Brit Inf in the port hex is a pain in the ass itself.

Once this is done - I did in Turn 5 - you can land your own core forces in Malta port and make quick work of all the 5-strength British units blocking the path to the VH in the distant west of the island. But beware of the naval units trying to lay the wood on your soft target units.
Deal with them with your own Aux ships and spread the freshly landed Italian Aux units all over the map so the British ships will target them instead of your core units.

Easy -2 BV and I also received another Dev. Fire arty leader on fire support on a British Infantry with the last remaining possible bar.

Always nice to grab one when you actually don't have to do anything but watch your arties just give fire support.
But with refueling petrol and ammo being an issue on desert maps this can also be somewhat of a burden...

Alam Halfa Battle

Next one is another beauty - at least from the historic point of view of this campaign.
534 PP's in the pocket.
Well I don't have to state again that this is NOT NEARLY enough to upgrade anything beyond the absolute urgent needs.

HQ action:

Tank:
1 x Pz IIIF --> Pz IIIN

Anti-Tank:
1 x 5 PaK38 , Pferdewagen --> JgdPz II PzSelb

I was really tempted to put the finishing touches on mobility.
Giving the remaining AD and AT units decent motor transportation so you can move them more rapidly seemed like a perfect fit.
But then I decided to leave the remaining AD stuck with horses for now and pimped II./PzReg. 5 with the Det. Defense leader instead
to have 2 decent tank battailons available for the next one.
Adding another Marder to noteably improve obsolete horse towed 5cm PaK38 was a no brainer.

This was the most interesting and from a performance standpoint my best executed battle so far.
Allthough another limited deployment - 3 units were left out again!

Lots of arty bunches, tank bunches and there were certain times where I had to be cautions
and then there were times when I could attack head on and really crushed everything in sight.
Could have gone in about 4 turns early but played out for XP.
Once the Airfield was under control and the Lees/Crusaders defeated, I could roam free.
Refueling was again a bit of a headache but that's what you get playing a desert campaign, right?

Also I finally received a leader on one of my SPAT's (First Strike) as well as another Det. Defense on a tank.

Since I scored a BV I got another Proto!
So far so good.
But I can't remember to have EVER received a NAVAL Proto before.

Is this especially with this efile?
Anyway a 5-strength carrier vessel without any other naval vessels doesn't make any sense at all.
Just when I was ready for my first Proto that I would keep, I get a freaking Aircraft carrier!!!

On to Alexandria.

Alexandria

Bad news at HQ: Still no kept Proto.
This time I have to sell it because it's completely useless.

Sold off Graf Zeppelin Class
The 716 available PP's went into:

Air Defense:
1 x 3.7 FlaK36 , Pferdewagen --> 3.7 FlaK36 , Opel Blitz 3T

Artillery:
1 x 7.5 leFK18 , Opel Blitz --> 10.5 leFH18 , Opel Blitz

Recon:
1 x Psw 221 --> Psw 222

Tank:
1 x Pz IIIF --> Pz IIIN

This is a meat grinder of the worst kind.
Allied Naval and Air units really stuck it to me.
I almost lost 4(!!!) core units.

RAF didn't take the bait and so they really were all over the map killing my Aux bombers and the Italian Fighter in the process.
Until I finally got control over the enemy ships most of my Aux Italian Infantry and Artillery units were also bady decimated by naval barrage.
In the end I sneaked in on the last turn but had only 2 full strength units left.
6 units had less than 4 SP's left, 3 with 1 SP

But in the end who cares if you grab the BV and march on?

Port Said: ,,Unternehmen Rotterdam''

With 780 PP's to buy stuff, I have to skip past this scenario.
This one is limited deployment and can't be won without Aux paratroopers.
So what I buy now will be at full display after Port Said.

HQ transactions look like this:

Recon:
1 x Psw 222 --> Psw 231(8)

Anti-Tank:
1 x 7.5 PaK40 , Opel Maultier --> JgdPz II PzSelb

Infantry:
1 x Infanterie , Opel Blitz --> SS Grenadiere , Opel Blitz
1 x Infanterie , Opel Blitz --> Grenadiere , Opel Blitz

Core is slowly starting to look solid.

All AT's now SPAT's with 7 movement, 3 strong INF's to dig out bunkers and entrenchments and tanks are solid but I could use some
2 hex shooter Pz IV's as well as some longer range stud arties, which are still way to expensive for me.
I despise OP Rotterdam, let's get done with it.

This is such a C R A P scenario.

Had to endure another Victory because RUGGED DEFENSE came in bunches and battle results were awful all across the board.
Not a whole lot to talk about - short memory required and off we go to El Cairo.

El Cairo

Solid 612 PP's in the bank.
HQ goes like this:

Infantry:
1 x Infanterie , Opel Blitz --> Grenadiere , Opel Blitz

Tank:
1 x Pz IIIN --> Pz IVG

Back to back bummer scenarios.
Don't get me wrong, this map and the challenge to advance as fast a possible with all these urban obstacles and torn bridges etc, is actually fun.
But to again have no chance to showcase your entire core army is just plain awful.
Had to scramble a little bit and decided to send my arty and tanks straight south from the get go to make em available down there to push all that concentrated enemy units covering the airfield and VH's.
Solid BV.

Suez Kanal

With only a 480 PP's to invest and therefore any serious Arty upgrades out of the question, I went heavy on Infantry again.
Need some stud infantry and so I got them.

Infantry:

1 x Infanterie , Opel Blitz --> SS Grenadiere , Opel Blitz
1 x SS Grenadiere , Opel Blitz --> SS Sturmpioniere , Opel Blitz 3T

Nice scenario, easy BV and finally a Proto I can keep going forward.

I opted to push straight southwest with basically my entire Kampfgruppe except for 3 units helping in the East hexes.
After some tank encounters I was crashing straight into the coastal defense alignment by the Allies.
But they were no match.
Even the RAF suffered some heavy casualites before the Aux plane reinforcements even arrived.
I got a leader on AD (Shock tactics) as well.

Battle of Kasserine Pass

HQ action:

Air Defense:
1 x 3.7 FlaK36 , Büssing-NAG 4500 --> SdKfz 6/2

Not enough PP's to upragde Arty or tank so I went with mobility on AD.

Excellent battle.
The terrain was a bit of a problem for some stretches of the game with the urgent need of quickly cleaning out
the strongholds in the higher regions.

Lost some Auxes but kept the core intact.
Pushing to the most western VH through Kasserine Pass with all those bottleneck map parts
while USAAF was strafing our ground forces had some challenging moments for sure.
Maybe I should have packed 1 more AD unit at the start of this campaign.

Anyway I scored back to back Protos and received Battlefield Intl. on Infantry.
Since most of my units already have reached the 5-bar level there are only the Proto PZ IVH as well as Infantry and AD left to achieve a leader...

Overall a very productive battle which was fun for most of the action.

Bone

If I had been given any sort of ground unit as Proto I would have happily kept it.
But a 5-strength Tac Bomber without any other planes on the core makes little sense.

So off we go selling another one.

HQ:
sold Me-410A-1

Artillery:
1 x 10.5 leFH18 , Opel Blitz --> 15 sFH18 , Opel Maultier

Air Defense:
1 x 3.7 FlaK36 , Opel Blitz 3T --> SdKfz 6/2

AD now completely mobile as SPAD's!

One big time Arty finally in the fold.
Still I need some Tank upgrades but hey, so far the Pz III's held their own even against the strong US armoured competition at Kasserine.

I like this scenario a lot.
You can set up pincers and really corall and destroy the enemy forces guarding the center and NE part of the map,
easily advancing to the airfiled and the upper VH
due to very good deployment choices at the start for the player in this one.
I had to scramble a bit to quickly knock out the last remaining allied foothold in the mountain area
as the terrain does not allow to attack on a broader scale.
USAAF was really annoying since they appeared during the middle part of the scenario.
When playing without Luftwaffe units I should have better packed another 10-strength AD!

Since the leadered AD can scoot and shoot I really let em have it, but they were too many to destroy them all.

Easy BV nonetheless.

Choice & El Arish

Next one is a choice scenario.
I intend to go for a V here in order to follow the oil path, pushing into Persia in the later scenarios.
Therefore El Arish is next.

HQ action:

694 PP's points is to much to do nothing with it but definitely too little
to upgrade anything to a significant portion.

Tank:
1 x Pz IIIJ --> Pz IVG
Infantry:
1 x Grenadiere , Opel Blitz --> SS Grenadiere , Opel Blitz

B U L L S H I T scenario!

You cannot score a BV here unless you have paratroopers - and lots of them because the most distant VH in the north is guared by big time AD, Arty and Infantry forces. Even if this Hex was totally empty you couldn't get there in time because of bunkers, minefields and terrain restrictions simply don't allow you to drive through easily once you cleared out the NW enemy stronghold.

Desert map refueling issues further complicated this.
What's even worse: it's limited deployment again, so you don't even get to bring your full force into play.

So unless you don't have a ton of paratroopers a BV is simply IMPOSSIBLE here.

I don't know whether this was on purpose, or is a major design flaw or stems from transformation issues
from PG to OG but under regular circumstances
you can't get there in time especially not if you have to crack that big time defense units
gathered around that hex.
Bad!
Just bad.

Tel Aviv

HQ action looked like this:

N A DA

122 PP's are ridicolous.
Therefore no bucks - no trucks!

Looks like there is no fresh Prestige the rest of the way.
Scored another BV but got nothing.
Still 122 in the bank.

Also another rat race with relatively unispired challenges.
Just drive out the enemy bunches crowding the VH's and hustle to the next through bad terrain and bottleck pathways.
Really not that great.
Limited deployment from the start.
You can finally deploy the rest of your core once you get the VH by the sea
but when you have cleared it, you have some 3 to 4 turns left so none of your "reinforcements"
can do anything important.

Enemy Air Force was again in bug mode.
This campaign is really bad.
It's about time, we get a better one.

Syria

Recon:
1 x GS SdKfz 250/3 --> GS SdKfz 250/8

No other action at HQ because no PP's available.

This a terrible map!

Somebody has copied and pasted "Madrid" from the original SSI stock game.
No supply issues but a terrible look and feel and a pain to advance.

BV was never in question but I couldn't capture the SH's surrounded by minefields behind the last VH in the north.

Anyway solid performance.
Not only did I get a very nice Panther Proto but - more important another valuable leader on my other SPAD.
With the last chance possible at 500.

Given the relentless enemy air force this might come in handy.

But prestige is nowhere to be found...

2 more to go.
Baghdad here we come.

Baghdad

HQ:

Infantry:
1 x Grenadiere , Opel Blitz --> SS Grenadiere , Opel Blitz

Not much to acquire with 163 PP's

I might not be able to buy anything the rest of the way....

Another BV but also some complaints.
Behind the VH in the SE at the bottom of the map is an enemy arty that gives support fire but can't be shot at.

Bad scenario design once again.
Otherwise it was pretty fun except for all the obvious stackings, bunker and pillboxes which grow more and more boring.
Again the enemy Air Force was a major pain int the butt.
I couldn't just protect all advancing troops all the time with only 2 AD units.

For the second time in this run I was awarded back to back Protos.

Tehran

Last HQ for this run.
The Fw-190D-9 certainly is a decent piece of war machinery but since I don't have any flying units at all
a 5-strength unit makes little sense - no matter how good.
Sold off the Fw-190D-9 to upgrade tanks.

Tank:
1 x Pz IIIL --> Pz IVH

Lets battle!

Another limited deployment.

This campaign is in total need of a new one, better one.
Anyway I finished it.
I think I will do a rerun and add some tutorial style tips for players who haven't played this campaign at all.
Because there are major issues and flaws to this!

Another limited deployment.
This campaign is in total need of a new one, better one.
Anyway I finished it.
I think I will do a rerun and add some tutorial style tips for players who haven't played this campaign at all.
Because there are major issues and flaws to this!

Thanks for the game and the important comments

.
I also see the potential for improvement, starting with a sensible prestige cap.

Parabellum

I don't want to sound rude, but this campaign is ...well...uhm....B A D!

In so many ways well beyond the obvious prestige management issues.
Units, equipment, scenario design and so on.... some scenarios are outright awful in terms of playability (El Arish, Herkules for example)
and others lack any real resemblence of the historic battles (Theseus for example) or do not depict things very well (Crusader, Alam Halfa)

In Panzer Corps 2 I had an entire 20 scenario DAK campaign in the works.
6 Maps and 4 scenarios were basically ready for playtesting.
Then Steam canceled the support for Win7 and so I decided to give OG another shot.
Transfering most of the ideas, locations and pathways to OG is realistic allthough goals/win/loss parameters are obviously quite different.

So once I finish the 75% run with the different path I will play the British Western Desert campaign by Steve Brown
for even more inspiration from the British side of things and of course for scenario design.
After that I will get into OG suite matters, learning how to create with it.
I am already collecing questions and How to's for later when I start working with the Suite.

Depending on how different it actually is in comparison to the PG suite which I have worked with (allthough years back) some results should follow.
I want to make a decent DAK campaign myself that is good enough that I want to keep playing it even after it is finshed.
