Good idea, Don. That will help me (and others) a lot in planning for the future campaigns that we hope to do for SPWAW. I'll be watching this with keen interest!

Campaign would definitly be Utah to the Rhine.

Scenarios it's hard to say. I enjoy them all. If I had to narrow it down I would say the D-Day beach series. Although the smaller battles are excellent as well.

Definitely U2R, but Watchword Freedom is a close second, only because it was too short.

My vote is for Utah to Rhine. Wild Bill really out did himself on this one by making a campaign with so much depth and variety.

I see some of you like the longer campaigns. I'll keep that in mind for the future Image

Thanks for the input, gentlemen!

I think one of the reasons people like longer campaigns is the chance it gives them to upgrade units.

I suspect I'm going to like Utah to the Rhine, if I can keep from getting crushed on the beach. :-)

Anything Wild Bill does is exceptional, but my favorite is U2R. Its a longer campaign, and was VERY challenging.

Utah to the Rhine is the one I could never finish, it gets my vote, though anytime I want a really challenging fight I always looks for WB's initials. Consistently satisfying!

For a guy who has been strictly a PBEM player I'm loving Watchword: Freedom. Great challenge!

Question: Where can I find Utah to Rhine? I've been looking everywhere!

Thanks,

Joe Osborne

The Game Depot has it, Joe. Just type in Utah in title and Wild Bill Wilder in author.

I sent you a copy. It's a big one, 1.7 megs but with 23 battles, that ain't bad Image.

Enjoy my friend.

The longer, the better.

I don't know about upgrading being #1. I like to see the units gain experiance. I like to watch as they go from rookie to veteran status, and maybe to elite. It really sucks to have a veteran unit destoyed because of your bonehead mistakes.
Yes, I do get attatched to my units.

Hello,

Hunt 'em down - hard version has to be my favorite scenario. Took me five or six tries to get my forces just right to win.

Watchword Freedom is just a little better than U2R IMO. Mainly because of the many different victory conditions. Loved the spoiling attack on the supply/HQ area! I haven't finished U2R yet, so that may just change...

Preparing the way was great fun and I love the time period. Prehaps a futur Campaign could be dedicated to an illustrious unit like 8th Army, The Big red One, ect

Hi folks! my vote for campaing is watchword freedon. First cause I like to play with gemans but I think that could be interesting for new campaings that the player can choose which side he wants to play!
Even with The Victors, wouldn't be nice if we could take the command of the Red Army and try to Conquer the Western??? Image

Senta à Pua!!!

Excellent idea, Adantas!

I've been toying for a while with the idea of producing a campaign where you could play one side in one version and another in a second version of the same battle.

I had thought seriously of doing this with The Victors, and I may just do it.

What do you think, Gamers? Would you like to see that done?
