Did the Gold Treatment help with Minsk 44 ?

[76mm]

I played the Minsk 44 campaign as Soviet vs the AI. Honestly it was probably one of my least favorite wargaming experiences ever. Breaking through the German lines is a fairly tedious process, then once you do so your main job is to manage the huge traffic jams caused by the many rivers, swamps, blown bridges, etc. Just not very fun... This was the pre-Gold version, but I can't imagine how the Gold version would have changed any of this...

For what is is worth, this is the only campaign I've played against the AI where I didn't get an easy Decisive Victory; in fact, IIRC I had a Minor Defeat; I think I captured almost every objective on the map but apparently didn't do it quickly enough, or had too many casualties, I don't recall.

In any event, not a campaign I want to try again.
