Completed Campaign Missions 01-27 within 35 hours.
You must complete the campaign mission in under 35 hours. Some people find this daunting, but it is not as bad as some people make it out to be. Just use these tips to make sure finish in under the 35 hour mark.

You have to be quick and concise in your actions and planning. All time spent playing counts toward the 35 hours, not just the time spent in missions. The first thing to remember is to save early and often on multiple save files. This will help you just in case you make a mistake. Next is that if you fail a mission, do not restart the mission. This will waste valuable time, so what you should do is load your previously saved game.
After you finish every mission you will need to outfit your characters with supplies for the next mission. In order to do this quickly save immediately after you finish a mission, then take your time figuring out who needs what and what to buy. Once you know what to do load your last save, and do it as quickly as possible. The game will tell that only certain characters need to survive in order to advance, this is a lie. If you lose any of them it makes the game extremely hard to complete, period, let alone in under 35 hours. You will need each of your characters alive in order to complete this achievement, so if you lose one load your last save.

Speeding up dialog scenes saves large amounts of time. To do this just hold down RB. I also advise that you should do the Armed Recon missions along with Campaign missions. This will give valuable experience making it easier to complete the game in general, just leave off the last two or three to make sure you have enough time. As an example I finished all AR missions along with campaign missions, and ended up with a play time of 30 hours and 31 minutes. This left me over four hours to complete the last mission.

On top of this there are a few things you can acquire in game that will make it easier to complete the achievement. One of those things is to get all legendary swords for use. You can find out where to get them by referring to the "Africa Star" achievement. Another thing you can do is collect the rare weapons. One good one is the "PPSh 1941" found on one of the Vampires on campaign mission 11. This is a powerful machine gun that is light and has excellent damage. The other useful rare weapon is the "PTRS 1941" that is found on one of the Oberschutzes in the fifth wave of campaign mission 16. This large sniper rifle will kill most enemies in one shot and even do massive damage to tanks and other large enemies. One of the most important things to acquire though is the secret character Max Neumann.

Max is a Panzer Demon you can convince to fight with you if you follow these steps. On Campaign mission 19 you will encounter Max for the first time. Have Edward (Main Character) shoot him or be shot by him. This will lead to a cutscene where Max retreats. Remember just shoot him and do not kill Max as this will lead to you losing the ability to acquire him. This will set up an encounter with Max on Campaign Mission 21. You must make sure Max is the last enemy unit alive on the map, and that he has less than full health. If you have done everything stated above, he will join you at the end of this mission. Max is a valuable asset and provides extra firepower for the coming missions. By doing all of these suggestions you should be able to complete this achievement with a few hours to spare.
