Campagin tips

Thanks for your comments, Frederf.
I got a weird message yesterday, probably triggered by one of the blue batallions capturing South Pyongyang:
- First, I’m shown a video about KJU threatening the South with nuclear devices, rockets and so on
- Following that immediately, I’m getting a 2nd video about how US forces did a fantastic job and can go home proudly and so on.
Still, the campaign seems to go on, Wonsan is in blue hands, Hamhung is still on the red side and Pyongyang isn’t entirely captured by blue, either. What’s up? Will I receive a “proper” “campaign won” message once the hostilities are officially over of is that it?
Cheers, Uwe

that’s probably a bug, never seen it before personally. the second cinematic you saw was probably the victory cinematic, normally the behavior is it only plays if the campaign is won, and then the clock should stop and the last event should be the last “so and so battalion captures X” where x was the last objective you needed to capture to win.

So it’s ok to get an “Success: –- only minor damage…” report for the mission in question?
Uwe
should be, you’ll get tons of those if you task interdictions, for whatever reason it always reports “minor damage” even if your 4 ship flight rolls a few tank battalions off the board.
what i assume it’s doing is tallying up all of the forces in the area (and if korea, that’s conservatively hundreds of vehicles, easily) and then if you kill 30 T-62s it thinks that’s only “minor damage” when in fact it’s a ludicrous kill ratio, especially if you are killing high-tier tanks near to’san or whatever.

Double check your logbook, does it show a campaign medal?

Thanks Dracfalcon & yay me
When I load my last save state (that was created after being shown both vids), the outlook still is “bleak”. Weird, but I don’t mind.
Thanks again for all your help and useful tips in this and other threads on how to go about one’s first campaign. It has been quite a ride and I was rather anxious to start one at first for fear of constant death and destruction, but it’s been terrific fun and very rewarding to go the “whole nine yards” and winning it.
Granted this was on “cadet” level, so which level should I tackle next and which difficulty sliders should I move over to the right for the next attempt?
If there’s interest I can sum up my experience in a little post, for posterity. (pun not intended ;))
All the best, Uwe
