Although the smaller battles are excellent as well. ------------------ Cavalry Trooper (8th US) and Grandson of a Leibstandarte Tanker.

Status: offline 		The longer, the better. I don't know about upgrading being #1. I like to see the units gain experiance. I like to watch as they go from rookie to veteran status, and maybe to elite. It really sucks to have a veteran unit destoyed because of your bonehead mistakes. Yes, I do get attatched to my units.

Status: offline 		Hello, Hunt 'em down - hard version has to be my favorite scenario. Took me five or six tries to get my forces just right to win. Watchword Freedom is just a little better than U2R IMO. Mainly because of the many different victory conditions. Loved the spoiling attack on the supply/HQ area! I haven't finished U2R yet, so that may just change... ------------------ Lars Nec Temere - Nec Timide

Status: offline 		Hi folks! my vote for campaing is watchword freedon. First cause I like to play with gemans but I think that could be interesting for new campaings that the player can choose which side he wants to play! Even with The Victors, wouldn't be nice if we could take the command of the Red Army and try to Conquer the Western??? Senta à Pua!!!

Status: offline 		Excellent idea, Adantas! I've been toying for a while with the idea of producing a campaign where you could play one side in one version and another in a second version of the same battle. I had thought seriously of doing this with The Victors, and I may just do it. What do you think, Gamers? Would you like to see that done?

Status: offline 		Hi Wild Bill, a question a little out of the topic: Is there any possibility to have a campaign “map”? I mean: I’m still playing U2R (yes I’m very slowly) and my last two battles (the Patton’s flank defense and Paris –very ugly surprises there) were Decisive Victories. I like to play all the battles and I wondering what would happened if I have had a draw or a marginal victory on one of my DV. Were other battles to play in such case? If the answer is yes, then I could re-play my DV leaving some VO to the poor Germans in order to play all the battles... Best Regards

Status: offline 		The most enjoyable campaign to date is "Utah to the Rhine". All scenario's are masterfully done, hard to pick a favorite, have yet to be disappointed. Looking forward to his co-effort "The Victors", rumor has it Wild Bill can't even beat the hard version. It's a dark day when the creation out masters the creator. Keep up the great work!!!!!!!

Status: offline 		Pops, I would love to do a Canadian one, if I could just find the material to do one. My written history of Canadian forces if too limited. I think it is long overdue. And Gmenfan, I'm delighted to know they have been that enjoyable for you. Wild Bill ------------------ In Arduis Fidelis Wild Bill Wilder Coordinator, Scenario Design Matrix Games
