Possible work-round for points limit on WW2 Campaign

Post by StuNZ »

Those of you who find the inability to start the WW2 campaign with a number of points to your liking might want to try this...

I started a Germany vs Poland campaign using the Campaign Generator rather than the WW2 one - 9/39 to 12/46, Poland x 3 for OpFor, Plains, 200 battles - with the plan of using Fred Chlanda's editor (marvelous tool that one Image) to change the terrain & OpFor as necessary to effectively make a longer version of the WW2 campaign. I also dropped the A0 unit's rank back to major from colonel.

The first battle played out normally enough, but after that first battle, the campaign somehow shifted over to the WW2 one - complete with the theatre choice you get before every battle. The second battle was a bit screwed up however Image - the first battle had my Germans deploy on the left side of the screen instead of the normal right - so the deployments in the second were completely out of wack (although I think this had everything to do with starting originally on the left rather than the crossover to the WW2 campaign).

All the same, possibly worth trying if you want to be able to purchase that panzer company and attachments without having to scrimp on stuff Image.

Just try setting up a generated campaign with the ww2 campaign nation you want to play as, then use Fred Chlanda's editor to set the A0 unit's rank back to major and see what happens ...
