As for reverting, I think a sensible option would be the chance to reset to the beginning of each conference.

We thought most people would go for the historical track, but were proven wrong, I read the forums too :)


I'm sorry to say that, but I think that the reason for all this is too easy Cassino scenario, where the capture of Rome isn't particularly demanding (I wrote about it during tests :!: ) - I think that on Classic level it should be almost impossible to do
Players think they are so great, so they are taking a risky path, but the truth is this earlier map is too easy for sure
In addition, players waste the ability to play a very good (and historical) 4th Cassino scenario :(

Just to give myself a pat on the back, I managed to complete both alternative Italian scenarios on the first try! With bonus objectives, except for Pula. I'm glad this choice didn't turn into a Normal difficulty campaign disaster.

Congrats!

Pula is definitely a tricky one, you need some luck with the cards ;)

Thank you! :) What's the trick with Pula? I saw you should take it even earlier than Trieste.

I know this thread has been dormant for a while, but I'm just now getting to the game (Mac user and all that). I've hit the conference pre-first ahistorical option in Italy. So, Tomislav, was there a change made? I typically like to play both the historical and the ahistorical. When this was a thing in Panzer General (at least on my iPad), I would just save right at the moment of their version of conference. Is there an option to save the game, maybe a second save state?

You can enable it by going to:

Options -> Gameplay -> Allow "Save As" in Campaigns
