September campaign (repost in English)

Since the original topic was closed for being written in Polish, here’s a new one, translated:

@117575297 wrote: To Polish players: what do you think about Enlisted adding the September campaign? I’d suggest what places they could recreate, for example: Battle of the Bzura, Battle of Gdańsk, Siege of Warsaw or some of the more important battles in general. It would also be cool if it was possible to use the Mauser rifle or drive the 7TP tank.

And right away I have two issues with this post:

  • “Battle of Gdańsk” - There was no such event in the September campaign as Gdańsk (or Danzig in German) was a free city back then and was populated almost exclusively by Germans, so they just annexed it on the September 1st. The only two “battles” that happened there were the Defence of the Polish Post Office in Gdańsk and the Battle of Westerplatte. The first one was basically a siege of a single building, so the only one that could be implemented is the latter one, most likely as an invasion map with Germans attacking.
  • “possible to use the Mauser rifle” - I presume the rifle in question is the Karabinek wz.29 (carbine model 29), which is almost identical to the vz. 24 (barrel length, straight bolt handle and sight picture).

There is one very big problem however, completely unrelated to gameplay design: Soviet invasion of Poland - Wikipedia. I’m quite sure that it is impossible to implement the September campaign, because:

  • If they decide to not implement the Soviet part of the campaign, they will piss off vast majority of Polish player base and could lose some players.
  • If they decide to implement the Soviet part of the campaign, it would either not be approved by Gaijin or will be banned in Russia, since they have a law that prevents people from publishing t̶h̶e̶ ̶t̶r̶u̶t̶h things that contradict the Russian version of the history.

Well, as much as I would like to see that campaign getting more recocnition I’m afraid that it will not happen, at least not when Enlisted looks like today.

I don’t think that there would be enough stuff to fill the whole 40+ levels campaign, so it would require introducing a lots of prototypes and blueprints weapons.

Also I see no way to introduce both German and Soviet invasions in one campaign. It is definetely not the same situation like Germans/Italy or US/UK in Tunesia. Those two should not be present on the same battlefield and share the same progression.

Honestly I think that if we are to see another early war campaign - it will be France in 1940.

What? It happened, didn’t it?

Not gonna lie, using repeating, cyclical events (so no assets are “wasted” on only one event) to introduce smaller, specific battles sounds like a cool idea to have more variety without splitting playerbase more and more with new campaigns. Would you be okay with me creating a bigger thread about it in Suggestions?

Well, to be honest, I have thought about a solution for campaigns like the Winter War, Battle of the Bulge, or different stages of the Pacific theater (like the Kokoda Track campaign). and I came up with this: Campaign rework idea

Sorry guys
History ok
Politics no
