Campaign choices

Post by Bradock78436 »

I was wondering if someone could suggest a good campaign for me? I'm playing US/USMC, trying to find one that will go from Africa, through Omaha and all the way to berlin, and a USMC that will start at Guadal Canal and go all the way to Iwo Jima. Theoretical invasion of Japan wouldn't hurt either. :) Also, tips on selecting units wouldn't hurt. I usually try a few tank destroyers, 4 shermans, maybe a flame tank. Then rangers with trucks or HT's keeps them mobile, plus they fight very well and can infiltrate.. Sometimes handy for setting up a temporary defense before the armor arrives on meeting engagements. Also, interested in playing IP games if anyone knows of an active league.

There's no custom campaign covering so long war periods/theatre.
The nearest which comes in mind is "From Utah to Rhine", provided with the game download.
If you want the ultimate on North Africa, buy Megacampaign "Desert Fox", if you're looking for as real thrill on Guadlacanal soil, buy Megacampaign "WatchTower".
You can find them on the Matrix store page.

Doesn't the Long Road to Victory add together Preparing the Way, Utah to the Rhine, and the Victors?

That is the longest custom campaign that I recall.

The nature of the Pacific fighting was that different divisions would invade different islands, while the survivors of the previous invasion were refitting, I don't recall any unit that fought on more than 4-5 islands during the war. Someone could create an ahistorical campaign where the same unit invaded all the islands and fought in Burma and China to boot, but no actual unit did all of that.
thanks, John.
