You cant use Free French, the campaign starts in North Africa in Oct 1942 against the French.
The Free French OOB isnt available yet.
have you ever tried it just as it is designed?
Turn off charteristics so the USA doesnt get that ridiculous .01 arty delay.
or dont use FO's
[:)]

BTW, I totally agree with you on this...

"I've finally concluded that all Generated and Long Campaigns are way too easy, even after the first few battles. The computer is just too predictable and it is too easy to outmaneuver and create overwhelming killing zones even with 'minor allies'. Therefore, no more Generated or Long Campaigns for me."

There are alot of Great Campaigns, all edited for Enhanced now, and they all are challenging and fun.
Someday i will get around to playing one thru other than Balkan Crisis and Watchword Freedom.....the only 2 I have played all they way thru.
Flash recently just redid "Operation 25" too.


I had to edit this 3 times until I finally spelled "Campaigns" right...

If campaigns are your thing, why not try winSPWW2?

More nations to choose from, a lot more options - using custom maps in your campaign, setting number of turns, placing induvidual VHs..., better AI...

And if that too is too easy - I'll buy, deploy, set waypoints and op-fire filter for the AI to make your campaign painful with a capital P.

I like the idea of placing individual VHs.

Is the AI in winSPWW2 actually better than the one in SPWAW?

Alby,

Here is why I chose as I did:

Artillery) I know Wild Bill.  He will have some surprises.  If I have a little long-range artillery in my core, then it might actually hit something at long range once it gains some experience (say, in 1944).  Support artillery tends to be wildly inaccurate.  Hence my desire to have just a little bit of long-range artillery in my core.  In a Generated or Long Campaign I would never consider long-range artillery in my core (I only use medium mortars), but this is a Wild Bill campaign and it is way more difficult than a Generated or Long Campaign.

Ammo Boxes) Personal preference. It is as historically justifiable to buy ammo using support as it is to have ammo organic to the core.  However, I chose to go with organic ammo because I suspect that Wild Bill might toss in some battles with few or no support points available. 

Regular Infantry) Canadian infantry is very weak in 1942.  For about half the price, those recce infantry hit almost as hard as regular Canadian infantry in 1942.  This was a cost-effectiveness decision for me (I only have a limited amount of core points to spend and I have to make every point count).  I do plan to upgrade the recce infantry at some point in the campaign (probably when the 'regular' infantry gets PIATs).

It's a shame you don't use Enhanced DVRN.  I'd really like to see your Canadian core. . .
