Being a NATO member, in this scenario Germany takes part in Operation Desert Storm, as part of the multinational coalition forces, including the USA, the UK and France.

The German ”Operation Desert Storm” Main Combat Force
-Battalion Staff:
--Headquarters + 1 Marder I A3 (9 men)
-Medium Artillery Battalion:
--24 155 mm FH155-1 (264 men)
-Attack Helicopter Platoon
--4 PAH-1 BO-105 (8 men)
-Panzer-Grenadier Battalion:
--Panzer-Grenadiere + 30 Marder I A3 + 12 Marder I A3 ATGM (366 men)
-MBT Battalion:
--26 Leopard 2A4 (104 men)
-2 Raketen-Jäger Platoons:
--10 Jaguar 2 ATGM vehicles (30 men)
-2 SP FlaK Platoons:
--8 Gepard FlaK vehicles (24 men)
-2 SP SAM Platoons:
--8 Roland SAM vehicles (48 men)

The German ”Operation Desert Storm” Combat Losses Reserves
-Attack Helicopter Reserves
--2 PAH-1 BO-105 (4 men)
-Panzer-Grenadier Battalion Reserves
--Panzer-Grenadiere + 10 Marder I A3 + 4 Marder I A3 ATGM (122 men)
-MBT Battalion Reserves
--6 Leopard 2A4 (24 men)
-Raketen-Jäger Reserves
--4 Jaguar 2 ATGM vehicles (12 men)
-SP FlaK Reserves
--2 Gepard FlaK vehicles (6 men)
-SP SAM Reserves
--2 Roland SAM vehicles (12 men)

The German taskforce thus consists of 853 in the main combat force and 180 men in the combat losses reserves - 1.033 men in total. Since flying in more troops and equipment to replace combat losses will be both expensive and time consuming, this is the entire German combat force available during ”Operation Desert Storm”. Any additional combat losses reserves will have to come from the other coalition nations.

This AAR will last for 5 battles during January and February 1991.

Cheers, Taskforce

Sounds interessting!
Can you take some battle-pictures?





One technical question - how can you buy so many point-intensive core-units?

When buying core-troops for a campaign I only get some 2000 points...

Adjust battle points in preferences like you do for a battle.
Don't go much over 20,000 though for a campaign if you want the AI to be able to buy a matching force once yours gets a bit of experience. Especially if facing an opponent with cheaper units they cant spend enough points to make it a fair match if you are defending.

The battle point preferences seem to make no difference in a campaign game for me.

Theres is no campaign battle pt. prefrence's in either WinSP camo games!
What you spend or have is what pt.s the AI has to spend to match simple! there is no dailing up or down AI buy pts.
It's on default.
You are thinking of WinSpWaW a major difference.
:rolleyes:

Battle points determine YOUR available points. AI always uses XXX setting adjusted by AI advantage %

The question has already been answered, but I've set the number of battle points to the absolute maximum - 65.000. It has worked just fine in the last AARs.
