Game too hard to be enjoyable

[Todd77]

My idea of a good game & enjoying gaming doesnt involve repetitive saving and reloading. I like the game, its just too hard to be enjoyable, even on Easy. I hate reloading everytime one of my guns dies, if I dont, I cant pass the mission. (sevastopol). So my question is, is the rest of the game like this? The other missions this hard? Saving, reloading, saving, reloading, cursing, saving, reloading? If so, no offense, but Id rather cut my losses, quit cutting my teeth, and go one to another game

well the german missions are great not hard at all by far the most fun campian in the game but the allied missions are very hard but i won them and u get a great feeling that you achived something unlike easy games that you forget the momment u stop playing

You have to finish the tutorial mission for soviets, then other nations will be opened. The mission is quite easy, don't think there will be any problems, just use Direct control when you get the tank, it really helps!

Odd thing is; I passed that mission the first time I ever played it, where most people don't. The one I had trouble with was the mission after Sevestapol. I finally passed it though.

this game is not too hard, you just have to get better. if i can do it, you can do it. if you don't want to put in the time to master the game then quit playing but joe montana didn't just get up off the couch one day and start playing pro football...

Luck plays a big part of this mission (Sevastopol), which is the main reason for the discrepancy you mentioned. A lucky hit from a German tank, or a strafing run from an enemy plane can have grave consequences, since you are so dependent on your AT defense.

I didn't pass it on my 1st attempt, however, when I did, by the time the last ship was leaving port and the mission ended, I was in a middle of an offensive to take back the first line trenches on the right flank.

One of these days I'm gonna try to play it again and continue after the mission ends, to try and clear out all the Germans. I wonder if enemy attack waves continue after the mission is complete?

attack waves continue but your men are ground down eventually with no resuply. good game though.

Yes, the waves never stop. I was playing against an unstoppable German horde that still had active 600mm artillery pieces (Thor or whatever) for about 20 minutes until I just hit Continue and went on. And you're right about this being a very good game.
