I'm playing the 2nd Stalingrad campaign as the Germans. Tho I couldn't find exact info on what the difference is, was under the impression the 2nd one gives the Russians more armor at the beginning.

I'm playing with AI having max settings and me having minimum... this does make it more challenging, but it also does some silly things to gameplay. For example, with unlimited visibility for the computer Russian tanks are able to sight and fire at any exposed troops. So it's impossible to ambush armor. Instead, I have to have my AT teams wait inside buildings until the AI stupidly, inexplicably drives a tank by, or on occasion right up to the wall to sit there for a while. Although the visibility setting makes it harder (Russian tanks are able to control large swaths of territory until they do something stupid), essentially you're just exploiting another AI flaw.

Occasionally the computer seems to luck out and actually place its units in clever locations, seemingly drawing me into ambushes with well-placed guns and AT teams. But it's just luck, the craftiness is an illusion... they're more apt to charge an entrenched mg across open ground, or venture into terrain where my panzers have already blasted 2 full squads.

I've had some fun hard-fought battles against the AI, but they're in part due to intentionally careless play. Why oh why couldn't they improve the AI just a little bit??

But... this is an awesome mod. Wish I had enough spare time to play it H2H!

Thanks, I'll try with those settings. I'd like to play the gc against someone, but my schedule is busy and variable enough to make it tough to prearrange playing time... anyone else out there in the same boat, want to try a "gradual" Stalingrad campaign?

I've been messing around with the Stalingrad mod... I'd like to try playing the entire campaign, but because of time constraints and unpredictable schedule, the only way this is gonna happen is against the AI.

However, after the first few battles as the Russians I've noticed the Germans seem even more easy to beat than in the original campaign. Is this just because I'm a little more experienced, or is Stalingrad designed only for H2H? It's not like I'm a CC master or anything, it's just so damn simple to slaughter the oncoming Krauts while their tanks hang around doing nothing... any ways to make it more of a challenge aside from changing the diff sliders? Or does it get tougher later on?

Thanks..

I'm about to try out a couple mods single-player... was wondering if the maps and/or campaigns for these were specifically set up to make it a little more balanced for the AI. In other words, do most of the mods offer a better single player experience than the original GC?

Thanks for the references. I tried looking around on some websites and this forum for updates about the Afrika 40-41 mod (it seems like it's in limbo) but couldn't find anything definitive. Anyone know about this? Aaand... I noticed some sound mods for the original campaign, is there a preferable one (just solid improvements across the board)?

Sorry about these basic-sounding questions... I did actually look around for answers Smile

. I think it's mostly a result of so damn many options.

Hey all, just found this site.

I've been enjoying the CC series for many years now, and although I'm not necessarily a hardcore gamer they've brought me countless hours of enjoyment. I've currently got CC5 and had no idea there were this many additional campaigns!

Which ones would you guys recommend as the best? I'm especially intrigued by Stalingrad, any North Africa ones, and the Soviet/Finn campaigns, but would like to hear about any other standouts too. Wish I had the time to try them all out, but it just ain't in the cards, so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
