Console Cheats not working?

[FOTUS (Felon of the U.S)]

I'm trying to use the extra turns cheat:
#overtime <x>
<x> is the number of turns

So I press Shift+C to bring up the console and type in the code. I hear the morris code sound as if the cheat worked but the mission continues to end in defeat once I reach the turn limit.

I'm playing the Greece mission for the Blitzkrieg campaign.

Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong?

This console command only gives you extra turns. It does not win the scen for you. There's a different command for that: #igotnukes

I understand that, but shouldn't it extend the condition for defeat by however many turns you put in? For example, if you are normally supposed win within 35 turns and you put #overtime <10> shouldn't the scenario end in defeat at turn 45?

Yes, that's how it works exactly. A few things:
1) The UI does not refresh until next turn, so even if it looks like the command did not work, it did
2) I hope you did not enter the brackets! The command should be entered as follows: #overtime 10

Other than that, yes, you should have 10 more turns to capture Athens and eliminate enough Greek land units to fulfill your primary objectives.

First of all, THANK YOU! That was exactly how I was entering the cheat. I tried it the way you showed and it's working now. However, I still find it odd that it gives that morris code sound as if it worked when I used the brackets.

Hopefully the Italian A.I gets fixed. That's the main reason I can't beat the scenario since they don't activate once I fulfill the necessary objective.

Well, you know, you could send some troops over to help them. At least a few planes. :)

Yeah I did. I sent and infantry and a tank and then a stuka a few turns after that and I managed to get it done in 44 turns. Thanks again!
