After ten turns, the casualties stand at follows. Probably this scenario wasn’t played in the most ideal way. However, it was only my second attempt on Manstein yet, so any suggestions are very welcome! :mrgreen:

This is the end. Operation Weserübung (attack on Denmark and Norway) will be next!

Marginal victory is capture all objectives by turn 14 (of 14), leading to France directly.
Decisive victory is capture all objectives by turn 10 (of 14), leading to Norway, then France.

Thanks, yes you need to take all objectives in any case!

So I just had a closer look at Denmark and Norway on Manstein!

Well, it's still a very beautiful map and I also tried a few different things here and there during multiple attempts... However, so far it has either been Lillehammer OR Trondheim (i.e. not both yet).... :roll:

I am not sure this is actually possible on Manstein! :shock:

Just in case anyone wondered, I just tried to play the Poland scenario in the reverse setup, i.e. the AI as Axis and me as Poland… :D

There is no chance to hold Poland at General level and don’t even think about Manstein level… even the fortified pillboxes got wiped off the map (long before the final turn)! :shock: I basically lost both attempts against the AI as Axis...

So I won't do an AAR on this (im-)possibility... :cry:
