DrunkenLuftwaffe Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I love the game, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. One big disappointment, though, is that this big, beautiful campaign map BEGS for a 1944-45 "Bagration to Berlin" type campaign. I'd LOVE to be able to test my skills playing as Germany vs the AI to see how long I could last against the Soviet juggernaut. I know people will say that someone could design the campaign. I don't have the skills or I'd do it myself. It just seems like an awfully big omission in a game of this magnitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I have that scenario already planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenLuftwaffe Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Awesome Al. I didn't mean to insult the effort put into this game...I was just shocked something like that didn't make the game itself. Just seems SO obvious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob. Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I too am missing such a scenario a bit! The question is of course when it would end... I think the goal of such a scenario should be to hold the Reds off long enough for the Western Allies to take Berlin:D Also, just as an idea, I think an alternate history campaign where the Ardennes Offensive is scrapped and instead an offensive in Russia is started would be very great too!

Big Al Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I have a question? Why would you want a scenario in which the Germans have zero chance to win? The offensive in 1944 by the Soviets was a complete slaughter. I was just researching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenLuftwaffe Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Because the test of skill involved is how long can you hold the Soviets off, or to phrase it as the other poster did--can you hold the Soviets off long enough for the Western Allies to take Berlin? It's like any other wargaming situation--can you do better than history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Well now, if we're wishing, then with the current unit mix from AoD we could see a recreation of a couple of my favs from SPI, "Atlantic Wall" and of course "Wacht am Rhein". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I believe there already is a D-Day scenario in one of the previous games. That's why I didn't do one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Some of my favourite scenarios to play are those "up against the odds" type impossible to win situations, such as Isandhlwana; Poland 1939, or playing as Germany at or after DDay. As DrunkenLuftwaffe said, the challenge is in the gameplay rather than in the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Big Al has started working on the Bagration campaign and I know that the result will be epic Bill - would you say that the French in the Franco-Prussian War are playing "up against the odds"?

Bill101 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 They are certainly up against the odds, especially when some of their divisions get cut off by the advancing Prussians like in our game!! Just to clarify for all: we are currently beta testing a Franco-Prussian campaign that will in due course be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
