Axis 1939 Favorite: Case Yellow: What's not to love about steamrolling every allied troop in your way with Guderian? Least Favorite: Operation Mercury: Your forces are wiped out after capturing 3 objective cities
Allies 1939 Favorite: Battle Of Greece: What's better than busting Italian's *autocorrected* as Greece?
Least Favorite: Battle Of France: Hmmmm, fall back, fall back some more, and fall back some more. Sounds fun EasyTech?
Axis 1941 Favorite: Battle Of Uman: What's wrong with Uman? Best Axis Mission I have ever played. Obliterating the enemy is actually quite fun in this one.
Least Favorite: Battle Of Stalingrad: I love it when List just sits and watches me get obliterated by Chuikov! It really makes my day!
Allies 1941 Favorite: Operation Bagration: Fun for the whole family! Great mission, beautifully balanced.
Least Favorite: Operation Little Saturn: Only mission I ever got stuck on.
Axis 1941 Favorite: Bombing Of Pearl Harbor: Won't change until I pass this one.
Least Favorite: Bombing Of Pearl Harbor: Yeah! Who's up for taking and holding the entire island of Oahu with 4 units?

1939 Worst: both Cretes. I think everyone got stuck there for a while
Best: Fall Gelb (first ET game where this mission is historically accurate), Operation Marita: just based
1941 Eastern Worst: Typhoon (too annoying when you fail first 10-20 tries) and Battle of Moscow (a great historical battle turned into a skirmish between a dozen of units on both sides)
Best: Battle of Smolensk (encircling movement near Belostok is incredible), Operation Uranus, Dnieper offensive
1942 Pacific Worst: East Indies campaign (still can’t perfect clear it), Allied Coral sea (as said it’s too easy)
Best: Bataan, Allied Kokoda (I liked sending my paratroopers per air multiple times in battle after replenishing in the rear - it was something new for GOG3 missions)
1941 Africa Worst: Desert Warfare (it took me long to understand how to help the French in time)
Best: Sonnenblume and Vulcan
1944 Europe Worst: Normandy landing (a bit too hard, I even bought totally useless Clark for it because I thought his Amphibious ability would help), Battle of Britain (just look how your best generals are slaughtered in Ireland for n times) 1945 Pacific
Worst: Battle of LA is pure hell
Best: all Burmese battles (was great to see land operations in this theatre), Landing in North America? Let it be, a very balanced campaign

Worst: 1939: Case Yellow: You have to Blitzkrieg, and I hate that, Crete: I'm sure everyone knows what I am talking about. 1941: Case Blue: Easy as heck for the first ten rounds, but then you have to expand after defending Stalingrad, Moscow: The only mission ot took me more than one try to complete. 1942: Singapore: if one mission made me more aggravated than this, I haven't found it, Coral Sea: mind-numbingly easy. 1941: Kasserine Pass: so few units to take so many objectives, Operation Crusader: always finished it too early to kill Rommel. 1944: Defense of Tunisia: Actually the Hardest '44 mission for me, Marching to Italy: Horrible. One time I really appreciated Accuracy Strike, even though I don't have it. 1945: Hawaii: More units show up after I annihilate the enemy? What the heck?!, Leyte Gulf: Single hardest amphibious landing in the game.

Favorite:
Axis 1939: I really don't have one. They were all too bad. I guess Greco-Italian war?
Allied 1939: Definitely Battle of France or Dunkirk. In Dunkirk it is fun to push back the Germans with your superior Tech and Generals and Special Forces, while in Battle of France I like doing that as well, but I also do like the element of retreat to a held position.
Axis 1941: I'm going to have to say Barbarossa South. It is full of action, rather challenging, easy to clear but very hard to perfect clear. Very well made.
Allies 1941: Red Storm. It is just fun. I just like absolutely rekking the Germans, and my allies are useful. Not as challenging as I would have liked, but very fun. Second place is Stalingrad. You get to use Zhukov and Vasilevsky, and the attack and pincer are actually fun in this level, the map is so huge, and there are so many enemies.
Axis 1942: Is there one I actually liked? I'm going to have to say my favorite was East Indies Campaign. It was like Operation Mercury, but on a much bigger scale. Paratroopers everywhere. Was the easiest star campaign, too.
Allies 1942: They were all way too easy, but my personal favorite was The first star one, in which you have to withdraw MacArthur. You cannot imagine the joy of blasting 150 golds worth of Transport Ships in one turn using Cossack MacArthur.
Axis 1941: I am going to have to say my favorite in the entire game: Tunisian Campaign. It has a nice defense, a powerful attack, a pincer movement, Historical accuracy, neutral French (at least for a turn), and powerful generals on both sides. I love this level.
Allies 1941: The two star campaigns. I would put Tunisian campaign if it wasn't for the utter lack of Historicity. So I will have to say Desert Warfare. It was infuriating, but very fun and very satisfying. Another one I liked was Medenine.
Axis 1944: Clearly Fortress Plan. It was fun, you get huge numbers of reinforcements, a desperate situation to begin with, competent Allies, the whole shabang. Not as good as Tunisian Campaign, though.
Allies 1944: I am definitely saying Battle of Salient (the Bulge). You get Monty, Historicity, random incredibly large Amounts of German Forces appearing out of nowhere. Offers a good Challenge, but it is very fun.
Axis 1945: Battle of North America. I still don't know what happened with that nuke, but It was a pleasant surprise. Even without that, it was a fun, action-packed mission.
Allies 1945: Ushijimaland. Props to me for perfect clearing it 1st try with no reinforcement money! Anyway, It was fun, full of map expansions, equal navy and land contingents, relatively easy to those trained in the way of Ushijima. Airbone Assault.
Allies All: Ushijimaland, then BOTB, then mebbe Stalingrad.
Axis All: Tunisian Campaign, then Barb South, then lastly Fortress Plan.

What the heck?!, Leyte Gulf: Single hardest amphibious landing in the game. I actually doesn’t see what was that hard with that one. Where was your difficulty? Landing without losing to muck troops? Killing Terauchi? (I must say that this part stressed me for a moment). Defeating the enemy Navy? (that’s where Nimitz came in handy).
