Amadeus Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hey guys, I love that game and I love the old Fall Weiss from Weapons and Warfare. And now Winti ask me to help making his campaign better. He called it 1939 Storm over Europe Fastplay. For me it is the "Fall Weiss" So it was clear from the beginning that I help him. We testing that campaign and there is some need to do that because of the new features "forced march" and "swapping" but it is a quick fun campaign.

Amadeus Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 First turn: Did you remember the old battlefield of Fall Weiss? Here it is. Only small corrections at the Low contries. I see two new polish cavalary but that fit very well, isn't it? Here is my overall plan to break thru the lines to Warsaw. I am going to the south. Here is one reason of the need to adapt the map. The army with no motorization could forced his march to the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winti Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 We started the game with the new version which already contains the changes made with the v105 patch to the Original SOE. (soon will be available the v6 to download from the repository) The biggest change that if no British unit in France, then France can potentially collapse even before Paris captured, due to the national morale Concerning forced march, if you see the 39 World at War campaign a German non motorized army can reach the outskirt of Warsaw from Breslau just like in this scenario, it seems to me not so unique, and also in the other hand you get a 25-40% penalty of morale.

Amadeus Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yes forced march is not neccessary to beat Poland early but it is an option. Later in the game on other circumstances it may be important and I think it makes the game more variable. Let us come back to my Axisturn. I DOW the Low Countries which is not beatable in one turn on turn 2. There is a new property "Eben Emael" placed on the map. This fortification for the Allies is a good idea Winti has for a good gameplay. My tank could not destroy the corps at Eben Emael but another unit did. Maybe it was a mistake to DOW the Low Countries at turn 2 since bad wheather appears soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Great stuff guys and nice to see some adaptations with the new engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Next turn is made. As you guys see I could take Brussels. Hard work since the french units are many in numbers. But I guess they could be a bit better in the combat target data. Anyway at the moment the campaign seems balanced to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hot spot Malta and Africa: To get more supply it is necessary to free Malta. This turn it become true. And new units landed near Tripolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 It's safe to say Malta will be Axis shortly. Alot of Luftwaffen units, wow, you pay to operand them all? -Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 No, I move them since late France respectively when builded. Heavy combats in Africa. I like it when game designing enables many hot spots of fighting. This turn the Royal Tank could be destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winti Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 In the mean time my Forces in Africa is almost eliminated, but seems to be the heavy force concentration there on Axis side prevented to have a strong push in Ukraine for Barbarossa. The auxiliary forces facing some local counterattacks. Also they are found strong resistance in Yugoslavia and it is now the 3rd month the fights on going there. In the north the situation is not that good looking for Russia, lots of German panzers rolling forward, supported by the Luftwaffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
