Hello Rokka,
As far as I can understand you have been playing only a Long WWII campaign... so you’re bored about the same kind or missions (take hills, cities, crossroads, etc), and I’m sure that computer opponent seems very stupid for you at this time...
And you’re right! I would be boarded too!
Your mistake (sorry to tell you like this :) ) is that you’re playing a long Campaign, which is basically a serie of linked generated battles. Now, generated battles are very board, because computer’s AI is not much smart, and you play always the same kind of missions.
But designed campaigns are much different and better than that!
First: battles you will fight are not random generated battles, they will be a serie o designed scenarios... designed by a human I mean. So computers tactics will be much better. In other words you can wait flank maneuvers, infiltrated forces, and other thinks that you don’t see in generated battles. Even more: human designer will give orders to computer’s forces to attack in a intelligent way. So you battles in a designed campaign (and specially on a Wild Bill one) are a real challenge.
Second: designed campaign battles are not all same kind of mission. There some times you have to lead a raid against a fuel/ammo and supply reserve on enemy rearguard, some times you have to save a group of you’re comrades encircled by the enemy, some times you have to lead a retreat... and yes, some times you have to take hills, bridgeheads, crossroads, etc.
Third: designed campaigns are about a real war episode. You’ll follow a real unit, division or part of an army, as the 506th Pz Abt on “Watch Word Freedom” campaign, or the 1st Tanks Guard Brigade on “Heroes of the Mother Land” or the US 70th Tank Battalion on “From Utah to the Rhine”. And a text intro before each battle will tell you about this specific and real action.
Well, all this tree thinks make designed campaigns one of the funniest thinks on SPWaW.
And the Mega Campaign, is the longest (+100 battles) and better documented campaign that you can get (a lot of maps and info).
My recommendation is that you try a designed campaign. My personal favorite is “From Utah to the Rhine” (I’m not very original on that).
Try it and you will see...
