Recon units are much more valuable.
It would be nice that the LIght Tanks could have at least 1 hex secondary movement like Recon units have, to express their mobility. Given the same mobility as the other Tanks it makes them only a weak/cheap unit.

Since they're cheap and cannot hold up the front ...

I don't remember well, maybe I've seen it in the last battles of 1945

But it's in the game

This artillery has hero bonuses att +1 and def +3,
and are applied when attacking with the sdkfz 251/1

The RoF is described in this wiki as "Effective Strenght" instead of RoF

I don't know if the batteries of the 21cm were formed by less gunscompared to the 105. Maybe it's not only the longer reload which is ...

I wouls also take in account that the only transports that the 17cm and 21cm can utilise is the Sdkfz 7 https://panzercorps.fandom.com/wiki/SdKfz_7 (70 prestige),
while the 105 and 150 can have the Opel Blitz (50 prestige) or the Hanomag https://panzercorps.fandom.com/wiki/SdKfz_251/1 (100 prestige ...

Hills are good for any unit that has 5 Initiative, so it will use all its initiative while the attacker has less than 5 (like most infantry units) or a higher initiative capped down to 5, such as a tank.
So the Hills might me good for a 5cm Pak38 ( INI 5) or Pak40 (INI 6); better than other close ...

I started the campaign with this custom difficulty:
Player Prestige 100% ; AI Prestige 150%
Player Experience 50% ; AI Exp 100%
Number of turns: +5 (I like longer scenario; it can be more difficult when you have to defend)
AI strenght +2 (+1 from Barbarossa)
Combat: Dice/Chess

The more difficulty ...

You don't have any strategic bomber?


I have a Dornier 217E, with 4 stars, A+1 D+2 , overstrenghted to 14.
But I rarely deploy it. I used it very often until 1943, that's why he got 4 stars.
It's the first time I do the Dornier path. Firstly you do very little damage, but as you get more ...

Swamp is the worse. Bocage has same handicaps but at least it looks beautiful. I prefer to stuck in a garden than in a swamp.
But I remember my first campaigns where I didnt understand/see the bocages, couldn't understant why my units couldnt go in what appeared to be just clear terrain...
I had to ...

The Order of Battle:
in this full grand campaign I wanted to rely more on a historical army, so I deployed also in Prohkorovka some units that with 42000 credits you would usually replace, getting only the ultimate armor available, especially I used in the whole Kursk battles 1 Marder III, 1 PzIII ...

One of the most epic scenario of the game!

As I already played it some years ago, in this new campaign I was more confident with my improved skills: It ended up disastrously as I tried to get a DV, which I failed, plus having too many losses.
Replayed from - turn 23/27, I stopped the advance and ...

My preferred inf unit is Grenadier.
I also consider ammo for my choices, so I don't like to place them in danger. Since '43 the W.Inf is probably the best unit , also for the +1 ammo, but I don't like to downgrade my Grens.
Oleh Dir is Grenadier: 5 hex movement Gren since he got another +1move hero ...

I see I didnt deploy him in Minsk41

Playing DLC, you have probably noticed that towards the end of a scenario, in an enemy held town, the AI will start buying units, usually spamming the most expensive unit it can buy.
Playing GC42 East, I have just witnessed the AI buying 5 (FIVE!) KV-1 tanks around a town. Fortunately I was able ...

The offensive had been taken in the West since there's was the Sea behind the Allies: an offensive in the East could not result in an entrapment.

It was a try to delay the advance since it was a matter of time that Germany had "secret weapons". The Allied and Soviets were in a desperate hurry.
And ...

I'm in middle of 1943, Prokorovka, and I still haven't got the real Rudel.

He failed the promotion in 1942, and I have only the Recon-Rudel on Me410 (view range 4 )

Will I get it or could I finish the game without him?

I still find the +1 range on a towed ( 15cm) the best option.
Since in many maps or situations you can't set all your artillery at a range 3 distance, so the one 1 hexe behind can open fire as well, maximizing firepower.
