Soren!!!

Nothing better than a good PB&J for lunch and Mogilev on the tv.

I just checked... this is only your third published run through the Grand Campaign. I don't mean it's your third play of each scenario, I'm sure there were many unpublished trials until you got your technique fine tuned. You do make it look easy when I'm pretty sure it isn't. Congratulations, Soren.

Hey Buddy, I am halfway through watching this and see that I am at a similar stage in my playthrough of this battle. A couple of observations: 1) It is interesting for me to see where your units are at compared to where mine are at. Many of your units have 2nd heroes at this stage, where as I have only 3 units with 2 heroes at this stage of the war. At the same time your strats are just now getting their first heroes and it is in this battle where I am finally getting first heroes on my strats as I am using them heavily to bomb the many ships on this scenario. This is the one battle where you can truly get endless kills for your strats. Yet you are not using them in that way. Interesting. 2) 2nd observation. What is it about the Southern area of this map that tends to have players take out the units in that area? I do the same thing, most players do as well, but ultimately it is pointless and unnecessary as the area has no main objectives, but I always love to take it as well. My son played this map and nearly map wiped it. The one area he chose not to focus on was that southern area until the very end where he ran out of time to take it all. Very interesting that he went that direction with it. Thanks for posting and the gerat work. I will be taking the Ruins direction instead as Tats is just too scary for me. ;)

Nicely done as per usual, Soren. Thank you and congratulations.

Those are some thirsty little tigers you have there.

Nicely done as per usual, Soren.

Nicely done as usual, Soren. I don't/haven't played Panzer Corps so no personal experience. The reward for the troops on the airfields, could it be that it counts only landings and loses track of them from one turn to the next? As opposed to occupation? Meaning that you would have to keep the engineers on the airplanes until you're ready to land all of them at the same time?

You make it look easy, but this is one of the battles I struggle with most. The Soviet units are no jokes anymore, pretty good tanks and anti-tank. You have very few troops and they attack from all sides, luckily in waves coming from different directions. But you really have to make sure to destroy one group of attackers before the next one comes, otherwise you’ll be overrun. I remember constantly trying to plug gaps in the front and when a new group of attackers arrive you can’t use your Air Force because of snow and your tanks are out of fuel because of snow again. Typically I‘m just happy when I can end that battle without losing a core unit. The only good thing about this is that you can get a lot of xp on your anti-tank units in artillery mode before you upgrade them to Jagdpanthers.

Awesome!

I think your visual design getting better and better. It seems to me there is more juice to squeeze here. You are having too easy a time indicated by explosive xp gain and low casualities. How about 40% xp and prestige, manstein, and 2 less days? If I don't see nose bleeds and cursing in the video it's too easy for you.

Sutkus and Allerberger should not have any 42 kills, correct?

In devs defense on prestige and softcap, I don’t think any of them thought someone will take this game so such extremes like you did. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could beat the campaign with motorcycles and artillery 😂

OMG yes!!! I am the guy who requested Eda as TD and from the moment he get his movement hero I have been praising that you give him Jagdtiger. My dream comes true. THX, you made my Xmas :D

Nicely done as usual. Thanks, Soren.

"I don't know how they made it to Kiev without any transport"...Lol well the Croatian Black Legion basically walked to Stalingrad... so if you're motivated enough....

It hurts a bit to see Rudel in anything but a JU 87. I understand the reasoning, he doesn’t need protection and can kill off enemy bombers if need be, but it doesn’t feel right.

I've been really looking forward to this one. Gona need to watch it in pieces, like wow almost three in a half hours.

IIUC I've watched all your PC GC videos (except for the Manstein replays) but not the AGEODCW ones. My SOP re comments was that unless I had something relevant to say/ask it was better to just lurk in the shadows and add to the view count. Recent developments make me revise that behavior in that views alone are very dry and impersonal and don't convey that there's a real human on the other side enjoying your content. I'm not going back and add a comment on each of about 200 videos ;) So please accept this belated but very much heartfelt thank you for your efforts, Soren. All the best.

Hey Buddy, I am here at this battle and always use yours as a source for possible attempts. I am doing this quite differently based on my camouflaged units I have available. I have the set up ready and first couple of days worked out. Hoping to record sometime soon. Thanks for this great work you do.

You completely changed how I view turn based strategy games, thank you. You engineers tend to be based beyond belief

I have trouble understanding you at times due to music and gamesounds. I suggest tweaking that

At 2:49:00 when the AI is buying spam you seemed under the impression that as it captured the adjacent towns it would buy more units from those locations. Not so. It only bought seven units, one for the VP and one each for the six free adjacent tiles. I haven't watched further (yet) but it makes sense that it will buy from those captured towns in the *next* turn.

Yeah maybe 1 tough battle left for you. Totally trivial at this point.

Highly enjoyable video!

Some good improvements over your Manstein campaign. You really had a big number of low rolls / bad luck on this one. Without them there would be virtually no losses. Almost cleaned the map.

Thanks for the nice battle

I am always using these broadcasts to help set up my attempts to pull off my playthrough on Napoleon difficulty. This is always so much awesomeness. Locarnus and I have been having an interesting discussion about the damage mitigation I am being effected by on my playthrough. I am worried at the difficulty setting draining my prestige to an unsustainable level, but he seems to think some of that will change once the arty reaches 4 star status. Do you find the defensive / offensive capability's of arty changes that drastically once you reach 4 stars?

Regarding your moving the recon unit on turn 1 to 8,7. Is there not a chance of an ambush by the calvary, or is it that you have the map memorized, or something I don't understand. Not a critique, I am learning a lot from having one screen open with your playthrough, and playing on the other screen, without copying exactly. But sometimes you are over my head!

well played and thanks for all the effort to show us the perfect game

@SørenTjerry Will you play the western Grand Campaign someday? Thank you and Greetings from Austria 😊

Check your mic - your breathing is like a thunderstorm!!!

@35:45 and all of a sudden he's immortal lol

I can't seem to get a SE tank. I keep reloading until they award me an SE, but it is always an infantry unit. I have deleted my two SE units

I remember how I struggled in this map. If you don’t know where the mines are, they are very annoying. Also massive air attacks and it is hard figuring out how to split your corps since you need a force on the eastern side that takes the objective there. In the end I also came up with your solution of using massive airpower and shifting the focus of that airpower from west to east and vice versa. The upcoming battle is one of my favorites. Oboyan and Prokhorovska have a really high replay value. Lots of mistakes to be made that you want to correct in your next run.

I am thinking a really challenging mode would be double Rommel and 10% experience. That's it. You would have to be farming in clever ways scenario one.

Hey Buddy, I am looking at this finally because I am gearing up for my playthrough for Napoleon difficulty. It is interesting that your updates for your units are a lot more then they are in my mod. For example: No StuG3 F's, Nebelwerfer 21cms, Pz4F-2's...O am going to need to dig deep to avoid damage on my playthrough. Some of my units were tore up last battle of 41. So many are just obsolete, and very, very few with 3 stars exp. Thanks for your tremendous work,

The Air Traps are a cool feature.

Sorry to keep commenting on your older videos rather than the newer ones but I am playing the GC on Rommel (yet again) and have been working my way through your Rommel videos as I am playing the campaign. I will certainly get to the newer ones eventually. I love how you give a detailed explanation of the battlegroups and phases of the battle in your introductions, They are extremely well done and very helpful. I like to play with a mix of older units to make it more of a challenge but your optimized play throughs have given me many new ideas on ways to conduct the battles that I have not used before.

Lol, third time in a row that it hurts my soul when you sell that second su-122....

why do your sIG Artys got such massive range?

People are just choosing the wrong unit types. I chose to be an artillery: you get deployed in almost every battle (you always need tons of artillery), you hardly ever take casualties, you always get a decent amount of kills and XP and heroes are no problem at all.

15:08 "[...] everybody becomes a Tiger. You don't bring a Knife to a gun fight." I would love to hear your opinion on the ongoing grand campaign youtube playthrough by goose_2, where he follows the "rule of one", thus bringing lots of knifes and slingshots to the gun fight. On top of the double Rommel (25% prestige) and double FieldMarshal (25% player experience) difficulty settings.

Only if no one else wants to claim the '44 tank could you name her "Raider"

awesome

I love these playthroughs, so many good ideas for my current game. In previous playthroughs I had not thought about farming the Bombers in this way, great idea! Though they really went crazy in this mission and give way too many antiaircraft units to keep. at least these now start at either 1 or 2 stars depending on the unit rather than the 4 stars they used to. Also it would have been more interesting if they had given us US antiaircraft rather than German but that's just nit picking.

Really loved this one. It is a hard battle and you nailed it. From your prestige I can see that it won’t be much of an issue. But experience is really hard to get. That makes me think whether the actual ultimate difficulty is just Rommel + Field Marshal. -5 on all enemy units would make it a bit harder to get experience. But the I guess you would just killfarm them even more. One more to go in 42 and then we get to 43, my favorite campaign. You get the Tigers and really nice battles like Oboyan and of course Prokhorovska.

Just a little peptalk. I am throughtey enjoying every episode. This one was a cauldron battle at its best. You're putting on a master class on this game. Thanks for the videos!

Really looking forward to this battle. Great idea to break it up into parts. Thanks for all the effort you put into this series.
