I try it for fun and I think these experiment is interesting in some way.

It's not excite as you mention but I still glad that I can prove my hypothesis ( win without do any battle ) is functional.

Thank you for your attention. :steamhappy:

I've slinked through the Cold War campaign a few times with no direct combat missions (espionage only), but for some reason it had never occurred to me that you could apply basically the same strategy to the Alexander (and other!) campaigns. Nicely done haha! A shame though that without any equivalent for the Cold War espionage missions, you end up with a relatively boring playthrough.
