[PC] Allied General: Die sowjetische Kampagne

[von Kemmelberg]

The Dnjepr is ourand the crimea is cut off!

DV in last turn (butI prepared the attack on Kherson a bit more carefull after the "Elefant-Shock" near Berislav, hahahaha).
The captured tiger forced the elefnt to surrender, standing around with no ammo and no fuel, wounded with some infantery and my SE-Paras.

The harbor hex in Kherson (2/44) seems to be a river-hex, i can enter it only, if adjected one turn before. Thats why the AI coul reinforce the K18 Artillery but there were no hope for it.
I missed an airfield, a bit closer to Kherson, but i think this belongs to the tactical-challenge.
Greets, Ramon.

Now i will play Korsun via MV-cheat.

Great job :)
For this conversion to Panzer Corps, there are 4 SE units, 2 prototypes and 2 capturable units. I didn't want to deviate too much from the original.

The Korsun-pocket is eliminated!

DV in round 12 of 20. Lost one inexperienced SE-34/43. but the battle was running like the german early blitzkriegs. The AI did one mistake after the other, leavin entrenched positions, only for hunting obsolete units, firing with a weak 8,8 instead of reinforcing it etc.
ThePanthers were no problem for my 3-star KV85 after pounding the panther with my Pe-8 and some ISU 152.

But i really need the aux-aircraft to overwhelm the FW190 and Me109. My AAs can not be everywhere....

I will check, what core (DV or MV - path to Minsk) i will use for operation Bagration. I saw the IS2 costs 917 prestige? mmmh, i have to sell some units to buy some of them. My KV85 have no chance against Tiger II, i think.

Thank you for another hour of fun!

After Korsun we go to Minsk. The scenario should be upped soon (edit: done). I managed to upgrade one tank to an IS-2. Rest of prestige i needed to reinforce. And if you can "kick" Brunhilde, you might be in for a surprise.
I managed to get a DV in 11/12 turns and can't recall finishing a mission in this campaign with 1400 PP on the scoreboard :)

[Wildthing]

Who is Brunhilde? GFM Models wife? Or the division-cat? The sister of Bruno, the mortar? I will check. hahahaha.

A replay of Lvov has been posted in this thread: http://www.streitmacht.com/viewtopic.php?f=300&t=1658

Only two scenarios remain to be adapted and tested for Panzer Corps: Lake Balaton and Berlin. The release will be spot on schedule.

[Wildthing]

Minsk ist done. DV in round 12 of 12. I missed one flag, but i wasted lots of time, because i expected srong german opposition. But...my fear was pointless.
Nothing to change, after breaktrough its a walk in the park (if the player detects the Tiger II and bbombs it with Il2)

Next mission is Shitomir via cheat.

Thank you.

The only scenario i won't play is Zhitomir. It is a fall-back scenario to a lot of other scenarios (loss). I hope i can test Lake Balaton this evening.

[Wildthing]

Shitomir is Done. DV, one turn left. The distance is much bigger than in scenarios before, but speed speed and speed helped. Thanks for the next gift. I have to repair, but it will help in hungary.
Debrecen is next.

Shitmir was another nice map. A bit empty, but that is AG, i think. hahahahaha.

Hello,

are there also Partisans available (mostly for Ukrainian area)? If not, do you need some?

Greetings!

Thanks for the offer. The Allied General series are a conversion from the original back in the nineties. Those scenarios were made without partisans. Anyway, i think we should keep the partisans for LoV - Ultimate .

[Wildthing]

Debrecen is won, but one turn too late. I got a MV, 3 turns before game ends.
I dont care, because i want to play all scenarios, and a MV is not bad. It seems, that the correct deployment is vital for this scenario. I wasted strong armour in the east, only to wipe out a tiger in rough terrain...Pioneers and Guards did the job.

The AI lost its Tiger II, because it moved this important unit into a city hex, without backup of artillery. Panthers are no problem for my IS2 and german goods.
The german Komet was shot down by 85 mm AA and strong core Yak-9D.

No time to waste, but i recommend to play slowly and enjoy the battle of the balaton.

Thanks, Ramon

[Wildthing]

Finished Lake Balaton one turn spare. All worked fine. The The german super-tanks waited for their annihilation, and they got what they wanted.
My Panther and Tiger II worked well in clearing up the german balcony in my flesh and lots of T34/85 drove to the farthest city of papa (lol)

Berlin: I found some small errors in streets and rails (or is you will?)

They are not important for gameplay, but it looks confusing.

- Near city of Triebel from Hex 48/40 to 46/41
- Near Cottbus Hex 42/37 to 39/36
- Hex 46/11

I hope i can crash fascism tomorrow once and for all.

Thanks Ramon. Map is unconfused

[Wildthing]

Victory!

Its done, dear Niko. DV in Berlin, riund 17/30. the final german troops where the brave Fallschirmjäger in Ketzin and Torgau. They fought till the end. I wasted a lot of aux units and had some luck as Armygroup Wenck (?) with Panther and Jagdtiger met my troops. They killed nobobdy.

Very nice campaign. The balance of prestige is brilliant. Some maps are absolutely not possible to finish with a DV, but thats way it is. Very nice. The key is to use the Aux-units aggressive and the core units wisely. In the end i had some Infantery too less, but the aux-Is2 did a good job in streets of Berlin, backuped with artillery.

i found a another river-hex that can be corrected on 50/25.

Thank you very much for lots of fun.

Ramon

[von Kemmelberg]

Thanks Ramon. I will make the correction, check how far Markus stands with the translations. Then pretty soon afterwards this campaign can be released.
