Struggling to get anywhere with my Brigadier promotion ... would anyone be able to help answer a few simple Q's ...?
Firstly, do SFTF victories against AI Johnny count toward the req'd wins?
Is the req'd wins per side, (per front), TEN for each ??
Also, do you need to hit a milestone of x number of games played .... (even if you have 10 wins on each side in each front)?
I hope I'm getting closer but it's all become a bit of a lottery for me now as I have no idea what more I need to do after getting my 10 wins on each side... arrrrggghh !

Hi Jim
We do not know exactly what is needed, but we think games against Johnny count. Furthermore we think it is important to spread your wins over as many different scenarios as possible.
Since I am on a mission to win all available SFTF from both sides feel free to invite me to battles you like or are doubtfull about if they are fun. If we play together we will make them fun or moan about them and have fun that way.

I think you need a certain number of different scenarios, but also a certain number of different opponents on sftf.
Johnny can be one of these opponents. He can even be the most frequent opponent.
Or that is what I think. It is a bit supported by what has been discussed on the french thread of this subject.

And yes indeed the French Officers keep playing and being promoted while I sleep and/or work.

Well, you're way over 5,500 games if we add solo-regular-expert games !
Only a real true viking can do much more...

Thanks Phread,
It was not an easy journey to reach this rank 
It seems to be like some French generals, promoted just before retirement ! 
Nevertheless, happy to be General !
Yours,
Jdrommel.

La bienvenue au "bar" Jacques, et merci en effet pour tous ces scénarios, que cela soit dans les extensions récentes (ou anciennes !  ) ou sur le online.
Et tu dois être le 7e ou 8e général français, le 9-10e "french mother tongue".
ça mange beaucoup de grenouilles et de camemberts, par ici !

Pas plutot Champagne et homards?
Would think you'd rather have Champagne and lobster, being a general now.

We've been trying to figure that out for over a year. The one thing that's certain is that you actually were promoted at the end of the game when you qualified, but just didn't notice it. (That happened to me, too.)
So, congratulations, welcome, sit down at the bar, and order yourself a nice drink. It's good to see you!

Congratulations to Brigadier General #43 Brigadier General wings1964 .
Thanks for introducing yourself.
We haven't determined the exact conditions for this promotion.
No-one has established a pattern of wins/losses/games played to exactly explain it.
But welcome all the same.

Looks like the lunatics are starting to run the asylum...
Congratulations to a certain lucky duck. Number 44 I believe.
As to how I did it, well, luck played a role, certainly. Quite frankly, I was surprised when, after battle 913 - which I lost - I found a star pinned to my feathered chest.
I'm sure the number 13 had something to do with it.
So, is there anything to drink around here? I'm not only a lucky duck, I'm a thirsty one as well.
I am truly honored to join the company of such an esteemed group.
Quack,
Lucky Duck

I just realized I forgot to add "How to Make Brigadier" to my post. In the interest of contributing to the body of knowledge in this forum, I've listed the steps required below. WARNING! SPOILER ALERT!! If you absolutely, positively want to find out how to accomplish this momentus feat on your own, then read no further. Of course, if you wanted to go that route, I suspect you wouldn't be reading this post in the first place...
There are two ways to get that first star. Having been promoted to Brigadier twice now (long story) I know whereof I speak. Take your pick of one of the following methods:
#1 Change your name to something with the word "lucky" in it, then live up to that moniker.
#2 Win 100 expert (SFTF) battles against human opponents, split 50/50 Allied/ Axis.
Notes: a)battles against Johnny or Hermann do [U]not[/U count towards the total.
b)using a cheat code to give yourself an advantage during a battle is OK if you tell your opponent first. Of course, the only cheat code I know only works if you are losing, so really, why bother?
c)Insofar as I know, it is possible to obtain this promotion is as few as 913 battles,which is how many it took me, possibly less, although I'm not aware of any Brigadiers who earned their promotion in under that amount.
d) I did NOT use any cheat codes in any of the battles I played. Well, maybe just once.
I hope this helps all the aspiring Colonels out there!
Lucky Duck

Congratulations, General, and welcome to the club!
Your journey seems to be a very interesting one.
Interestingly, after playing 20 consecutive Expert battles (20 distinct scenarios, 13 wins), followed by a single loss at Pegasus, all against the same opponent. In this case, something in the Expert battles triggered the promotion. Much that can be analyzed here.
99 Expert wins in total, including at least 12 on each front, in 61 different scenarios (at least 7 on each front).
Since he didn't play many Expert games before becoming Colonel, 94 Expert wins as Colonel, including at least 12 on each front, in 59 different scenarios (at least 7 on each front).
12th Pacific win came during the last 20 Expert games.

Hello Everyone!
It was a long journey for me
I don't know exactly how many conditions i need to pass.
I agree that 50 expert victory with Axis or Allied is one of these conditions. Can you help me what else Colonels need for promotion?
Thanks!
HamonSerrano

I'm wondering if they'll ever appear, period.
The conditions for earning a 2nd Star that is.
Forgive the pessimism, but from my vantage point, deep in the Heart of Darkness, I've begun to - not despair exactly - but lose faith for anything new appearing anytime soon.
For a while I was content to watch the escapades of my pet duck, but now he, too, has been promoted to Brigadier. And his constant quacking is starting to get on my nerves.
When, and if, there is a new rank to strive towards, new battles to fight, and new medals to earn, the two of us will be back. In spades.
Meanwhile, we just sit here, and watch as old friends slowly fade away, one by one, becoming ghosts and legends.
I hope that they too, will someday reappear.
