Note that the overrun interface is sometimes buggy. I'll have 7 GEVs in reach and when I try to overrun it only lets one or two participate. Usual workaround is to pick a different GEV or form them into a stack adjacent to the Ogre. Sometimes it won't let units fire in the attack phase after an overrun but you come out ahead on net. Took me two tries with that approach. Plus the try where I went with my usual force of SHVYs with some missile-soaking LTs and watched them whiz by. Now I need to go look for that reinforcement button in #9 . . . |

There’s a reoccurring theme in the campaign. Ogre reinforcements don’t come until it’s safe for them to show up. I’ll leave the details as an exercise for the student. I don’t want to spoil it for you ( PM me if you really want to know ).

I used all tanks for mission #7. It was either all super-heavy or a combination of super-heavy and heavy. Tanks only halfway up the west edge, and tanks and infantry halfway up the east edge. Race the eastern ones to the center of the map to intercept. One Ogre got tied up the in the west area and I destroyed it with the force there. The others got bogged down in the city in the center. They eventually tried to run to the southeast. I ran them down with GEV reinforcements. |

Scenario 10 wasn't very hard. Just lost a lot of units on the way. Where are the achievements displayed? |

Re: So who has completed the campaign?
I can't even get past the "Recruitment" one ... seems to me the defenders barely get enough to stop a Mk. III from a regular skirmish game, then a Mk I gets tossed in on top of that.
Plus, as others noted, dropping the Mk. I into the river when the bridge it was on caused zero damage -- rather disheartening. |

Re: So who has completed the campaign?
True enough, and I get the Mk. I every time. But by then the III is rolling south at speed, and those Infantry do nothing except sit in a city, or die in the open. And being in the city is useless, as once the Ogre reaches the city, that broadcast center is compromised.
