I have given up trying to figure out the logistics because I was promoted at Arnhem as Allies. Now,when I see a Colonel I invite them to play an expert scene, because it must have something to do with it. I surrender!

Thank you sir.
A 14 month journey, that is a lot to talk about, and as I am not a long winded person
I took care to keep track of my games played and wins and such. I went back and forth between SFtF and regular scenarios. But then really started concentrating on the regular scenarios as I thought I needed a ton of these yet to play.
I played a lot of the scenarios that were favorites of mine and guessed I may need x amount of wins per front.
In the end, I am now sure 450 regular games are not needed.
After going to Col (Nov '13) I thought that I could make Gen in about 8 months, but that went by the boards. After a year passed I began to wonder. I thought that I would not get there for a couple of more months went by, but things worked out for me sooner than later.
Hopefully I can help others get here by providing some useful info on what it may take.

Well, now that DOW fixed the promotion issue several weeks ago (thank you DOW!) I have finally been promoted to General! (Three years, two months and a handful of days after promotion to Colonel--but who's counting?) It is good to finally get here--better late than never!

Hello, bartender? A ginger ale on the rocks, please. And put it on General Jeronimon's tab. Yes, that is what he said. Yes, I am sure.
And don't worry, Jeronimon, I won't compete with you for the bar girls attention. I am happily married and would like to keep it that way!

Greetings, chaps!
I'd like to join for a drink after
394 official scenario battles and
312 SFTF battles
as Colonel.
It was a long way. I can confirm that, among other criteria, 390 - 402 official scenario battles (as Colonel) is a condition for Brigadier promotion. :)
Honoured to be here.
Best regards from Croatia,
ivanv
