The first thing to say is that I have never played a campaign with 0% prestige in my life so far. But after playing this campaign several times in the past few weeks (this attempt is number 4), I have a good feeling and believe that this task can be solved for me.

I will stay true to my previous concept and only buy artillery and tank units. The chance of being damaged in combat is very low compared to infantry and other light units. Infantry is very vulnerable to artillery fire and there is a lot of enemy artillery in this campaign. A tank can withstand a lot. Constantly repairing a normal infantry with transport is more expensive in the long run than giving a tank one or two strength in 2 to 3 scenarios.

1 DEFENSE OF SEOUL bv

It was going well for me. I was able to withdraw two aux artillery units to Seoul, plus a few infantrists and the police unit from the east. Everything was grouped around the VH in Seoul and held until the end. Both T-34/85 were destroyed in the city. An enemy infantry broke through to the south and threatened the VH's and my BV there. But she had only two strength left and fell victim to my artillery.
I was also lucky with the enemy aircraft. Both bombers flew without escorts and I was able to shoot one and severely damage the second. The enemy fighter became acquainted with the Seoul AD and was so badly damaged afterwards that my fighter had an easy game with him.

The BV was secured. Now a usable prototype was needed...

2 KUM RIVER LINE bv

... my wishes were not fulfills. I sold the prototype and now had enough prestige to buy two of my standard units.

The tank was not damaged despite artillery fire and air raid.

Only during the fights did I realize that I didn't have to conquer a VH for a BV, I just had to hold my 3 own. Nevertheless, I risked an advance and conquered Choch'iwon in the north-east.

3 PUSAN PERIMETER (bv-6)

Ok, the smaller number of core units affects the result. Compared to my previous attempts, I needed one turn more.
The VH west of Yongsan was, as always, lost in the second or third round due to artillery fire. But there are enough aux cannons around Yongsan to defeat the enemy in the same way. You just have to be careful that a corridor remains free in order to drive into the VH.
It was also particularly difficult this time because a T-34 crossed the Nam River and threatened Yongsan. His attack ended up with only one strength left. After that I still needed several artillery attacks before he gave up.

The combined SH / VH in the south-west (Chinju) was also better defended. Reinforcements were used here and I lost 1 strength from a tank.

4 INCH'ON LANDING (bv-3)

I started three times. In the first attempt, a landing unit was damaged by artillery fire. In the second and third attempts, the MiG-15bis significantly damaged an artillery. In the fourth try, I bought an AD. This reduced the impact of the MiG somewhat and only one strength was lost. Then reinforcements came from the Airforce (F-86 Sabre) and the MiG was put to flight. The rest was a walk in the park again.

5 ADVANCE TO PYONGYANG (bv-3)

I kept the tank and artillery with the highest experience and sold all other units because now all units are available with 100exp. The "old" tank thanked me with a leader. The Airforce observed the area for me, uncovered ambushes and so my entire advance remained lossless.
This scenario is one of those where I want more fuel for tanks and artillery.

6 BATTLE OF THE CHONGCHON (bv-4)

I sold the tank prototype to buy a new M26 and another M41 HMC 155mm with the existing Prestige. But exactly 20pp were missing. So I had to improvise with the artillery and instead temporarily bought 2x 105mm M3 and an 81mm Mortar. This artillery had two to three movements and was well suited for the defense of the western VH and for conquering the VH in the north-west.
Defending the western VH was the biggest task and I had to restart and change the lineup several times because I did not accept losing strength. Two core units (M26 / M41 HMC) drove east to reinforce the aux units and recapture the northern VH abandoned in the first round.

8 HUNGNAM EVACUATION bv

Now I sold the last prototype and two artillery without transportation.
After that I had enough prestige. I considered buying a fighter, but then bought another M26 and two M41s.
The opponent had two MiG-15bis and I was wondering how much they could damage my core. But everything was fine and the aux fighters were able to defeat both MiG.

10 CHINESE SPRING OFFENSIVE (bv-3)

I was no longer so patient and only restarted the scenario twice to buy AD.
There is more enemy artillery and it is almost impossible to launch attacks without losses. The losses hurt, but there are now only two easy scenarios until the end of the campaign.
The willingness to make sacrifices was rewarded with several leaders.

Summary:

I agree with Urica's assessment.

Many years ago I briefly tested the GUS-Efile because a variety of interesting campaigns are offered. However, I could not get used to some statistical values ​​of units (I particularly remember the fuel supply) and so it remained a single experience.

I first became acquainted with the campaign when it was selected and tested for CC76. Therefore I cannot say anything about the current level of difficulty compared to older versions. Overall, however, I find them absolutely beginner-friendly. You can see that from the fact that I played a campaign with 0% level for the first time. That was definitely a bigger challenge at the beginning of the campaign because I had to invest in alternative units due to a lack of prestige.
The situation has relaxed over the course of the campaign, however, an impatient way of playing is fatal. I have restarted many scenarios several times because the losses for no-auto-refit were too high. For this level you have to bring patience and time, otherwise the success will not be achieved in the end.
I found the ideal composition of the units for me - tanks and SPATY. Everything else is superfluous and only occasionally were temporary units (e.g. AD) helpful.
