Thanks to McGuba’s encouragement and all the inspiring AARs/tips on this forum I am now also thinking of sharing my experiences with Battlefield Europe v1.9. After several attempts and various strategies: here is what I came up with as a start... and if you think we can do another BE AAR, I would be very happy to hear your comments and suggestions!
So I played through the overall campaign starting in Poland and carried over around 8,200 prestige while my incoming core includes two Panzer IIIH (including the one with the hero) and three Bf 109F.
My casualties at the start of Turn 1 are as follows:
Initial strategy and short to mid-term objectives:
- The initial strategy is to focus on the USSR/Russia, including winning the tank battle at Lutsk with minimal effort, closing the encirclements at Minsk and Kiev quickly as well as capturing Moscow (1) and Leningrad (2) as soon as possible to reduce Russian reinforcements.
- After that the next key objectives will be to occupy the Caucasus (3) securing the USSR oil fields near Grozny and Baku as well as to initiate Operation Sea Lion with amphibious landings South of Bristol (4). During this time I expect it will be interesting to see how to manage the Southern front line between Kiev and the Krim.
- In addition, Malta (5) needs to be captured soon to stabilize the situation in the Mediterranean Sea and the Afrika Korps (6) has to be reinforced (somehow?) to be able to hold the line in Libya/Northern Africa…
Please note: all subsequent photos/screenshots will usually be taken at the end of the completed Axis turn.
