You guys are the best! Many thanks! This mission and this achievement have been a broken frustration for more than a year, with literally hundreds of complaints from me and others to relic. The really sad part to all of this is that players (customers) had to make a workaround. And when they decided to do that, it took them less than 3 days. Relic has done nothing in over 400 days. Sad. Really sad. Once again guys.... thanks a bunch!
Well it works for all TOW scenario achievements too. I can confirm that...
I haven't really tried for non campaign/TOW achievements. For those you're probably better off finding the function (if it exists) to update your stats -- kill X with Y, etc, and calling that until the achievement pops.
Something like the MWNL achievements probably won't work either since those are popped during the main menu.
Edit:
The easiest way to get the other achievements is to make custom maps with a death pit of already spawned units assigned to you and to the AI. Can confirm this is best method.
heya man! I hope you don't mind me bumping up this 5 year old thread.
I had an issue where I unlocked the ToW achievement "Clean Sweep" in Operation Barbarossa's 'Blitzkrieg' mission. I unlocked the achievement, but moments later I bugsplatted. Steam records that I achieved it, but the Showcase Ribbon is not shown, most likely because it wasn't saved before the Bugsplat.
I tried to use SAM to re-lock the achievement, so I can re-achieve it again to get the ribbon. Unfortunately it didn't work now. I'd like to try and use your method.
I added you on Steam btw. So, I hope I can gain more insights.
