[Story].
This is covering actions on the Ostfront from June 1941 to May 1945.
As commander of a German Korps, you battle your way through the Russian
steppes, through Romania, Poland, Finland, even Germany.
The campaign consists of 18 scenarios. It is available in an English
version, a German version and even a French version (but this has not been
tested yet, so if somebody can try it and then tell me if it works, I'd be
very grateful!!).
The campaign needs several of the original SSI scenarios, and also three
customer maps, the Stalingrad, Kazan and Sevastopol maps. Be sure to have
these up and running

I played version:
2.20
- I have played v2.2 to the end. Nice
nice campaign, a little to easy in the end, but good fun. In the start
it can be very difficult if you don't do it right. Since there is not
that big a air-fight, I mount up a very large bomber force, and
smashed my way though heavy Russian armor, that otherwise may have
caused a problem. Ones my Stuka pick up experience and I upgraded then
to HS-129 the Russian armor was on the run from turn 1. Sometimes my
Tanks could simply not keep up with the bomber, to clean up there
remains. First in the Berlin scenario some of the real heavy Russian
Armor/AT turn up, that even a 1000 experience point HS-129 could not
turn up side down, then my AT got to go do there work. The prestige is
managed ok, very good in the first scenarios, to much in the last
ones. In fact this campaign is very good in the 4-5 first scenarios,
both prestige and enemy strength, but it get to easy in the end.
For you new gamers play this at 150-250% prestige mod. For the medium
players play at 100-150%, and for you experience players play at
50-100% (I played a 100). At 25% this can maybe be won, but you got to
be VERY good - it worth a try! At 0% this can not be won.
I ended up with 5 Tanks (1xKingtiger, 3xTiger, 1xPantherG), 4
Antitanks guns (3xJagdTiger, 1xJagPanther), 8 Art (17 K18), 1 Flak
(88mm Flak 41), 5 Inf (Sturmpioniere), 2 Fighter (Me-262), 11 Bomber
(5xStuka Ju-87D, 6xHS-129) and 1 Recon (PSW 234/4). Highest exp. point
was a Tank with 1888 point. My Bomber was from 400 to 1700 points.
Take a look at my states.
