If I could recommend some Allied missions? #1: (Ser) The Defense of the Homeland: Commander! The Austro-Hungarians have decided to attack us due to the assassination of their Archduke. While the Russians will undoubtedly aid us, we must hold until further aid can arrive. Requirements: Hold Belgrade for 5 rounds against Austria Bonus: Take Sarajevo #2: (Bel) Schlieffen Delay: Commander! The Germans have violated our neutrality by trying to swing through our country to Paris. We stand no chance against their superior numbers, but our forts can delay their advance long enough for the French to respond to the Plan. Requirements: Paris does not fall to the Germans, mission takes 8 rounds. Bonus: Hold Brussels for 8 rounds. #3 (Fra) First Battle of the Marne: Commander! The Germans have recently swung through Belgium to take Paris. The Germans won't be able to breach the Maginot Line, but we have to protect our Northern flank. General Foch will be at your disposal, as with the aid of Albert's Belgian forces as well as the BEF. Requirements: Hold Paris for 10 rounds. Bonus: Liberate Brussels #4 (Jap) Qingdao Campaign: Commander! Our faithful ally, the British, have recently called us into war with the Germans. Our goal is to take the German treaty port of Qingdao, a very strategic port in East Asia. They are aided by one of the Chinese cliques. The British navy will aid us in our campaign. Requirements: Take Qingdao Bonus: Take Peking #5: (Eng) Battle of Falkland Islands: Commander! German Admiral Maximilian von Spee has gone from their base in East Asia and is now trying to take the Falklands to refuel. If we want our naval position in the Atlantic to remain superior, we must defeat this fleet. We are aided by the Argentines and the Germans are aided by the Chileans. Requirements: Sink all enemy ships Bonus: Take Valparaiso We're limited to the stuff you can see in EW4, so the first 2 are impractical The first two or the last two? Because I'm pretty sure there are campaign missions where you need to hold a certain city or else you lose. |

Because I'm pretty sure there are campaign missions where you need to hold a certain city or else you lose. You sometimes need to hold a city, but you always also need to either kill an enemy unit and/or take an enemy city You don't have stuff like GoG western allies 1 anymore |

We could easily fix this by making a random unit need to be killed. B. So we could have like S. America and Asia in the game? How does that work? |

Continuing with the proposed Allied missions:
#6. (Rus) Anatolian Campaign:
Commander! With the entry of the Ottoman Empire into the war on the side of the Germans, the Tsar has ordered an offensive in order to knock them out of the war, as well as to liberate the ethnic Armenian lands from the Ottoman genocidal campaign.. The Ottomans are weak by themselves, but they are aided by German generals and some German brigades. We are aided by Armenian armed resistance in the town of Van.
Requirements: Hold Van and Sarikamis, take Trebizond, defeat all German generals.
Bonus: Take Ankara
#7. (Eng) Battle of the Somme:
Commander! The British Expeditionary Force in France is preparing a massive offensive against the German lines in Picardie, aimed at forcing the Germans back. We have massive amounts of artillery, but we must ensure that we breach the German lines.
Requirements: Take the Somme, defeat the German Generals
Bonus: Take Brussels
#8. (Por) East African Campaign:
Commander! Germany has recently declared war on us following the capture of multiple German ships in Lisbon, and now our Mozambican Colony is at risk to falling to Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck.

#9. (Ita) Battles of the Isonzo:
Commander! Following the Treaty of London between our country and the Entente, we are now at war with the Central Powers.

Facing us is Croatian General Borojevic, and he will not give up one inch of Slovene land.
Requirements: Take Tyrol, Ljubljana, Dalmatia, and Trieste
Bonus: Borojevic defeated
#10: (Ser) Retreat through Albania:
Commander! Despite our master defense, the Austro-Hungarians, Germans and Bulgarians are all converging on us, and there is no hope for us to succeed in our country anymore. Thus, we have a plan to retreat into Albania in order to be evacuated by the Entente fleets. The Entente has also landed an expeditionary force at Salonika, Greece, and the Italian and French navies are aiding us in our retreat and evacuation.
Requirements: Do not lose a certain amount of soldiers, capture Tirana and Durres.
Bonus: Hold Belgrade for the entire campaign.
#11: (Rus) Brusilov Offensive:
Commander! General Aleksei Brusilov has launched a massive offensive against the Austro-Hungarian and German forces across the entire front. The goal is to destroy the Austro-Hungarian army and to try and away Romania into the war on our side.
Requirements: Defeat a certain amount of Austro-Hungarian troops
Bonus: Capture Warsaw
#12: (USA) Transports across the Atlantic:
Commander! Following our entry into the war, we have mobilized a massive amounts of troops, but due to the German U-Boats, our transports going across the Atlantic to France are at risk of being sunk. Our first class navy can be expected to help.

Washington , good campaign list so far. But I might add some scenarios, won't be complete as of now. Battle of Salonika (AUH)AUH, BUL, and OTT vs GBR, ITA, SER, and RUS. We have defeated Serbia, but the remnants of their troops have retreated into Salonika. What's worse, Britain has sent an army there to assist the Serbians. This army threatens Serbia and the Ottoman Empire. Commander, we must break through the Salonika Line and destroy the last of Serbia.
Britain and Serbia are land troops, Russia is distant but might attack Ottoman, Italy just with navy. Central powers with huge army. Objective to take Salonika and Athens. Greece is neutral though. Battle of Tannenberg (GER)
GER, AUH vs RUS Commander! The Russian steamroller has mobilized and attacked East Prussia. They also have taken Galicia from Austria-Hungary. Our people are fleeing in terror. We have dispatched Generals Hindenburg and Ludendorff to this front. Beware as the Russians heavily outnumber us. High Command has sent two corps for reinforcement from France. Commander, repulse the Russian armies from our territory.
Russians will have morale down.
Objectives are Warsaw, Lviv, kill Samsonov.
Romanian Campaign (AUH)
GER, AUH, BUL vs ROM, RUS Commander! Romania has betrayed us and launched a surprise attack into our territory, taking over some towns. We have retreated during the first impact, but now that the Germans have alloted their Alpine Corps to this front we are confident of quick victory. Launch an all-out attack on Romania and destroy it quickly. Beware of Russian aid.
Take Bucharest, kill Prezan and Zayonchkovski. Brusilov is with Russia too. Mackensen and Falkenhayn as GER general and Hotzendorf as AUH general.
Battle of Caporetto (AUH)GER, AUH vs ITA, FRA Repeated offensives to the Isonzo by Italy has weakened their army. They are demoralized by the recent front. Commander! We have found a weakness in the Caporetto region. We will attack there and break the Italians. Germany has sent the Alpine Corps under Captain Rommel and his stormtroopers to aid you.
Central powers start with Rommel+ a morale rise. Italy provides the bulk of troops while others support Objective to take Milan, Turin, and Caporetto, also Kill Cadorna. Morale down for allies if Cadorna is killed.
Fall of Italy (AUH)AUH vs ITA, GBR, FRA, POR Commander, we had to stop our offensive on Italy to reorganize. The Italians formed a new defensive line in the lull, and they have aid from France, Portugal, and Britain. Italy still has a huge navy as well. This is truly a crisis. We must take the whole of Italy and deal a huge blow to the Entente.
Capture Rome, Naples, and Palermo. ITA has a huge navy. Morale down in the beginning for Central
Attack the Suez Canal (OTT)OTT, GER vs GBR, egypt After their defeat at Jutland, Britain has never been weaker. They plan to raise morale by attacking our territory. We must start a pre-emptive strike and take the whole of Egypt. Commander, with aid from Germany, we shall restore the great caliphates' glory.
Mission after Jutland, objective is to take Suez, Cairo, and Alexandria while killing Allenby. Bonus at taking Benghazi.
Unrestricted Submarine Warfare (GER)GER vs GBR, USA The loss of Suez Canal has cut Britain off from their colony of India. Their only lines of supply lay in the Atlantic. Their weakend navy should not be a problem. However, the USA has entered the war, so we must end Britain quickly and sink all their reinforcements. Admiral, the whole Kaiserliche Marine is at your disposal.
GER starts with submarines with de la Priere, a battleship squadron with Tirpitz. GBR is depleted but USA is ready to reinforce. Take Southampton, Scapa Flow, Plymouth, and Boston. Bonus at taking NY.
Now on Bonus Missions. Defence of Tsingtao (GER)
Bonus in Defence of East Africa if Nairobi falls.
GER vs GBR and JPN Commander! Britain and Japan has planned to take our colony in China, Tsingtao. Japan has assembled a huge force. We are cut off, so reinforcements will take a long time to arrive. We must hold out until reinforcements arrive. Commander, this is a forlorn hope, but the Kaiser himself said that he would rather lose Berlin than Tsingtao. We must hold out to the last breath for the Fatherland.GER starts with small force vs GBR and JPN's huge navy+army. Reinforcement coming. Defend Tsingtao and take a Japanese port (?) Conquer Africa (GER)
Bonus in Attack the Suez Canal if Benghazi is taken. GER, AUH, OTT vs GBR, FRA, ITA With East Africa secured, we are ready to attack the whole of Africa. Austria-Hungary will attack Tunisia and Algeria from Sicily, and Ottomans will attack Libya from Egypt. Reinforcements have come to aid you. It is time to raise our status as a colonial power and expel the enemy from Africa. We will be regarded as equals, maybe even greater than them to Britain!
Germany attack from East Africa, AUH from Sicily and Ottoman from Benghazi. Allies in respective places (e.g. FRA in Algeria, ITA in Libya, GBR in Somaliland). Take all of Africa.
Invasion of North America (MEX)
Taking NY bonus in Unrestricted Submarine Warfare. GER, MEX vs CAN, USA Commander, after the sending of the Zimmerman Telegram, we have secretly planned and prepared an invasion of the USA. We have quelled Pancho Villa by promising him estates for his aid in the war. Germany has sent a corps under General von Lettow-Vorbeck to aid us. We will invade the USA in conjunction of German landings on Canada. We will take the stolen territories of New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. We will rebuild the Mexican Empire!
GER lands at Canada, while MEX attacks USA + small force with Lettow-Vorbeck. Objective is Washington, Houston, Ottawa, Fort York, and San Francisco. Kill Pershing too. Battle of Falkland IslandsBonus if Plymouth is taken in Road to Paris. After our victory at Coronel, the Royal Navy assembled a huge force to destroy the East Asia Squadron. Their force, along with some South American navies have attacked us. Admiral, it is almost impossible to defeat them, but we will fight, and we will die if we have to. Viel Glück. Like what Ivan Kolev said, but as Central.

Benghanzi is in Libya and Ottomans were the owner of Libya, not Italy at that time. Italy had Italian Somalia and Enitrea (sic). Both of those colonies bordered Ethiopia in the Horn of Africa.
Just letting you know.

From "Italo-Turkish War" on wiki: Interesting, Italy barely had Libya at all... |

Finished the next few Allied campaigns, please leave comments and suggestions.
Also, I'm thinking of maybe having two different campaign modes as well, wars before WWI, and wars during Interbellum. If this, of course, isn't too much on our modding team.

Just letting you know. Italy took Libya in 1912, if I recall correctly I haven't added the briefings yet, but on another thing: other campaigns. IMO, there would be Unification of Turkey (OTT) I don't know much of Turkish history, but the formation of Turkey, maybe add some extra missions (like taking over Syria, or Greece, or Crimea) Spirit of Revolution (CCCP) Russian Civil War, add a hypothetical kulak rebellion plus expansion scenarios Balkan Overlord (SER)/Master of Mediterrania (ITA) For SER make Balkan unification scenarios + war with RUS and OTT. For ITA just rebuild the Roman Empire. |

For ITA just rebuild the Roman Empire. Heres what i would recommend to make it a tad more historical: Unification of Turkey: Franco-Turkish War, Turco-Armenian, Greco-Turkish, theoretical Anglo-Turkish, Italo-Turkish and Russo-Turkish Wars Russian Civll War: Like what you said American Imperialism: Banana Wars, U.S Interventions, war with Canada and Mexico, Filipino Wars Miscellaneous: Other Wars like Romanian-Hungarian War, Rif War, Franco-Syrian War, etc. etc. |
