Corunna Road halfway report

The beefy enemy air force has been defeated with some losses.

I let a recon destroy 5 of my artillery pieces. Forgot about the recon movement.

I need to capture some Artillery stat.

I done this scenario plenty of times and I have a good feel for the correct approach ...

In all honesty, I think Merida is the single biggest challenge in the game. You have low prestige, few heroes and all but useless units, and the secondary is genuinely tough to achieve. If you pulled that off on generalissimo I think that you will be able to truck through the rest without much ...

Greetings,
Auxiliary force (Italian Infantry are under your control) They won't kill something you prefer to capture.

How many aux slots do you have with this trait? I playing without that trait and got 15-20 slots for italian stuff. Most of the time I go with a fighter plane, tank and one ...

Toledo is relieved but the Republicans still strongly hold positions to the South.

The Italians are grinding toward Polan in the East.

Aranjuez and the northern part of the map have been taken.

Germans and Italians are approaching Algador from the west side of ...

I made the change to the starting force that I was thinking about.

I put the two-star UNL-35 in the reserves and swapped it for the one-star Sdkfz 221 Recon.

Badajoz was taken on the final turn completing all objectives.

The recon plane made it to one star along with the fighter with the aiming assistant leader.

The UNL-35 recon ...

You could just drop two of the Ju 52 bombers to reserve in the next few scenarios. They do too little damage at this point to really count (once the Ju 86 appears this will change for the better and then they start becoming more useful), but one used as flying artillery usually has some work to do ...

Aiming Assistance is one of the most underappreciated heroes. If you place the Aiming Assistance unit well, it can support 4-8 units per turn, raking in the experience.

It is the best way to level up the fighter force, especially the weak fighters at the beginning of SCW. I was able to get ...

Greetings,

I've played a bit and have a little experience now.

I'm going to start fresh with the Axis SCW campaign then head into 1939 and beyond.

The setting will of course be the Generalissimus difficulty level. I also want the achievements as well.

other notable settings.

100% combat ...

Hi,

I have not played the Sealion campaign through to the end yet. Once the core units are saved at the end of Sealion do they go onto the 41 campaign or one of the 42 campaigns.

Thanks
