Full German Campaign on Recruit

About the game:
Sudden Strike 2 was also developed by Russian developer Fireglow and published by CDV and was released in 2002. The game has since undergone minor changes in its game engine and now features a higher resolution setting and other graphical changes. The campaign still involves the Soviets and Allies, against the Germans and a new country, Japan. While striving for historical accuracy, the missions are mostly fiction. The American missions are in the Rhine regions and tend to involve 'borrowing' war equipment from the German army rather than using their own tanks and other weapons. The British missions revolves around the actual events at Wolfheze and Arnhem and the attempted capture of the bridge. The Japanese missions are centered along the lines of tropical jungle warfare and the use of tanks is somewhat limited whereas the Soviet campaign is based on the capture of the city of Kharkov and other battles along the Dniepr river waged by the Soviet Red Army.

About the run:
Great campaign with no really difficult missions overall. Luckily for the speedrun there is no time based mission. Most of the missions can be won fast by dont let the enemy get time to prepare, attack asap to get the upper hand. There are some silly mistakes and sometimes I got in trouble not finding all the soviet soldiers fast enough in order to advance in the campaign. Still didnt expect to win this in less then 1h.

Nice, what difficulty did you use to play?

[@retrospeedruns777]

Thank you! Depends either on the hardest (general?!) or the easiest (recruit). In this case I played on the easiest.

How did you manage to run the cutscens in the end? The game crashes when I reach that point (using steam version)

[@retrospeedruns777]

Hi...Idk I am using the gog version and didnt change anything. (maybe steam and gog version do work different)
