Status: offline 		Far from easier..desperate and scary! No wargame creates the same tension this one does..praying your kill ratio is good enough..every exchange a nail biter! I've only played the Allies so far as I find the tension of firefights and knowing every loss hurts and hurts bad is superb. I imagine the Russian side feels totally different, the constant casualties probably feel draining.

No, the new campaign is a release for the holidays.

There is a scheduled update for week after next I believe. The campaign is independent of that.

Good Hunting.

Since you guys are now experienced veterans the battles are a bit tougher to win. At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it...

Good Hunting.

Status: offline 		Contested!!?? Well done mate. I was finished off when a hind unit wiped out a fresh tank platoon who was driving up as a reenforcement on a Obj. It then went on to take out all 6 sub units of an Inf unit..the loss of the Tank platoon was a killer though..it hadn't even fired a shot in anger.

I also made an error at the start of scenario concentrating my forces in the wrong area..so the Russkies got the Obj's very very quick and it steadily got worse.

Yeah, Kesselschlacht is one of my favorite games. Except, as you said, the fish shoot back and it doesn't always work out to my advantage!!!

Good Hunting.

And I owe my survival to these guys:

That one change of command was me getting killed!!

That can happen in any of the scenarios or campaigns. The original scenarios/campaigns were light weights in retrospect. I was making maps and scenarios as the code was being tweaked and features being added. The scenarios are a progression of battles that, for the most part, show off different facets of the game as they move along.

Now that we have that all behind us and everyone, including me, has much more experience we should be able to create scenarios/campaigns that are much more challenging to you as gamers.

This campaign is an attempt at creating a more challenging situation for you. Time will tell how well I've done.

Good Hunting.

MR

This campaign is hard.

I thought I was doing OK until I got to scenario 5. I've been trying to play each scenario just once before proceeding, but in this scenario I've had my rear-end handed to me on a platter twice! And so bad were my losses I couldn't continue.

The first time I had Soviet boot-marks up my front as I went one way and they went the other.

The second time I had Soviet boot-marks up my back as I just ran out of units and ammo.

Hmm, back to the drawing board....
