I haven't completed the whole campaign yet (it's massive!) but AFAIK you will have to conquer UK again in 1945 if you want to follow the "what-if" campaign path, so getting decisive victory in 1940 doesn't give you much except for a bonus Spain scenario in Jan 1941.davidhansen wrote:I am currently at UK 40 in my campaign. I notice that there is another UK 45a scenerio much later in the campaign ( 22/06/45).
If I complete UK 40, are there any effects or consequences for UK 45...depending on my outcome of UK 40?
Any tips/strategies on how to tackle my current UK 40 scenerio?

As far as UK'40 scenario goes it's a tricky one - some of your strategic objectives are far away on the northern and north-western edges on the map. There are also some surprises along the way - I won't spoil it though
I only managed to get a decisive victory once - on my fourth playthrough (General level). Some general tips:
- deal quickly with the Royal Navy (it can be eliminated in 3 - 4 turns if you combine your navy and strategic bombers)
- do not commit too much force to the siege of London - it will fall anyway
- you have plenty of auxiliary units available - do not land them all on the south shores of England, once the RN is destroyed you can launch an amphibious attack north-east of London
- leave some units and air support near Cornwall, the rest should move north quickly - surround your strategic objectives in the middle of the map, move the remaining forces further north as the weather will turn rainy/muddy near the end of the scenario
- use your navy as mobile fire support, move most of the ships to the west first (so that they can support the siege of London) and once the situation is taken care of move them to the north-east so they can help with capturing one of the final objectives there (when the weather goes bad you will not be able to use your airforce)
- always keep your air units in groups and close the action, so that the bombers have escort and you have enough fighters to intercept enemy planes which will appear in waves during this scenario (and throughout the rest of the GTPG campaign!)
