I need help

Hi Roman,

Welcome to the Panzer Campaigns games! Regarding F'40, don't worry about winning that one, at least using the default game optional rules. I tested it way back before the game came out, but I think it was under a slightly different set of rules than today, and with game changes, I think it can't be easily won. If you want to do so, try changing the optional rules to turn off the alt fire and assault rules. This started scenario has been brought up before and is extremely difficult, so don't hold off on moving forward due to it.

As to tactics in general, if the situation is fluid, breaking down can be valuable, to surround the enemy, or hold a wider front while concentrating troops elsewhere.

You want to disrupt defenders before assaulting, unless your assaulting troops are much stronger than the defender, or you have much higher assault ratings.

Infiltration can work in some battles, but there needs to be enough time to push through. In areas like the Ardennes from F'40, the roads are usually defended and the gaps are through the woods, making it too slow for moving through the undefended areas effective, except in longer scenarios.

In 0513_02, the scenario requires the Germans to move very quickly. Concentrate your 2 panzer divisions onto a single strike point each, that will allow you to penetrate deeply and then seize objectives to each side of your strike. You will need to use airpower against key targets, and minimum forces except where striking.

Rick Thanks for the tips. I think I'm learning more the game. Greetings

Agreed. The F'40 starter scenario is just too frustrating. I've never been able to win any time that I've tried it.
