Day 37 And Zhukov's trial is completed.  Probably the most challenging so far because of harsh winning conditions: complete a mission in less turns and protect your allies. It is always an annoying task to protect allied generals with suicidal inclinations. |

Day 41 Both "Accumulate supply" and Rommel's trial are completed.   I personally find famous generals' trials very interesting. They are relatively short (only 5 missions each) and rewards are good. I want to see more of them. Hopefully not all of the new trials will be dedicated to IAP generals. |

It's kind of difficult to answer because they continue to update it. But probably Pacific war and Barbarossa both completed on hard. And, of course, we still know close to nothing about new challenge conquests and system of rewards for playing them. It is desirable to collect the last milestone reward, but, again, it could well be beyond capabilities of any f2p player or, on the contrary, not a challenge at all to be proud of. |

I'm also looking forward to an updated 1943 conquest. Not sure if they'll eventually go all the way out to 1980, since we didn't get aliens cc in WC3. Hopefully they don't just copy 1939; I like the speed run challenges but completing 15 times the more or less same process is really boring and shouldn't be necessary. |

I doubt anything will be beyond the capabilities of f2p players. I have completed more than five ‘39 conquests with no generals in less than thirty rounds. Including Guderian, Rommel, Konev, etc. should make anything possible (maybe not for the hardest of conquests, say Poland or Yugoslavia, but those are few). |

Probably you are right, but, as I said, we still in no man's land we we talk about these new cc. If I understand the pattern they want us to play for almost every single participant. And in case of Modern War CC probably for every participant without any exception. In this situation playing with someone like Denmark in 1939 might be a problem. Of course, it is just a speculation, and as jonblend pointed out there's a probability there won't be any Modern War CC at all. ET did it in the past, I mean, they abandoned some of their games as unexpectedly as they renewed the project. GoG 3 has a very bizarre combination of standard conquests (a conquest, to be precise) and Army groups' conquests. And neither of them was completed, as I understand. |

And neither of them was completed, as I understand. well, the alien conquest is not the best example either, I say frankly I don't see how to get the most out of the aliens without reworking them because since they are basic they are lazy and a conquest challenge with them seems to be boring and frustrating, the rest is It's true that GOG 3 was a bit strange, I mean even the last update was quite regrettable, 3 paid generals and a new map of those conquests that go like groups of armies, frankly although a global conquest is not possible, at least a conquest of The Americas or Russia (something from Poland divided up to Manchuria to include Japan) would have been fine, I guess the game simply didn't work out so well for them and they see it as a lost case. |

I have understood quite a long time ago that is impossible to see any rhyme or reason behind some ET's decisions I am almost sure that EW5 is one of their less profitable projects ever made. The game has only a handful of loyal fans and half of them are f2p Nonetheless they continue to work on it up to the present day. |

GoG 3 has a very bizarre combination of standard conquests (a conquest, to be precise) and Army groups' conquests. And neither of them was completed, as I understand. For instance, here’s ‘39 challenge Poland, no tank, artillery, or excellence medals and no IAP generals (except for Williams, by accident, on an infantry, which did nothing) in 21 rounds. I expect this is generally the case: the enemy AI is still so dumb even removing the OP elements in the game still allows players to do about anything.   |

Day 47 Montgomery's trial is completed.  I think it is the last one. And, I have to admit, it is the most annoying one, because of these ridiculous "protect" conditions. Yeah, a unit of medics who is trying to attack Manstein on super tank is exactly a type of unit I'd wish to protect |

I mean there should be some new rewards for completing new challenge conquests, shouldn't they?
