th1207 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Some thoughts / impressions on the Barbarossa Campaign as the Germans vs the AI on intermediate difficult level: a) regarding Italy events in 42: - there are no real consequences caused for the russian campaign, by the Allied landing in Sicily etc. The 30 MPP penalty isn´t enough to cause trouble for the german player, as he, at this point, already starts to swim in MPPs. - After the Italian surrender, it feels not correct, that the italian forces stationed in Russia, still continue to participate on the fight. Axis Minors: - I believe there should be a limit regarding upgrade levels for this units. c) German Reinforcements (2 mech, 1 Tank) in 42: - maybe a costly and therefore a difficult decision in the `42 campaign (see AAR), but in my game, I received these units after the tipping point of the campaign was long gone. So I got an additional advantage over the AI. These are my impressions after my first Barbarossa campaign. As I´m just an average player, I found it a bit too easy to get a decisive victory. I know AoC isn´t a simulation and also should be fun to play (I also like to win my games), but in comparison with previous SC games, I felt a little less challenge the more the game went on.

Rosseau Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Thanks for the comments, 1207. Thank God there's an editor so we can do something about it before spending the time on a campaign. I'm sure your points will be well taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
