At the moment (mid 44 East) I have 7 SE Units.
5 Infantary and two Tanks.

Now that's a normal possibility isn't it?

Good idea, but....

In practise, do you want to be a member of a division that previously has been destroyed?
What would that do with the mental part of the members of that reformed division?

So, forming a new division, imo is a better thing to do.

Hello all, I'm pretty new to strategy games, or at least I haven't really played them much since way back when Harpoon originally came out. I picked up Panzer Corps and enjoyed the tutorial missions so much that I grabbed all of the DLC's for it, so that I could start playing the extended campaign....

A quick reply on the initial question.

A bonus is better than no bonus!

Well, I am fighting around Orel these days.

My core:

4 Grenadiers 43
5 Grenadiers 43 SE
1 Bruckenpioniere

10 Tiger 1
2 Stug IIIG

8 21 cm MRS 18
3 8.8 Flak 36

2 SdKfz 233 8 rad

4 Fw 190A
3 Bf 110F
2 Henkel 177A

Well, do we really need to have it a go than ? Point of interest: How do these IS2's which have (or had) only been in service for a couple of months got to this level 15. It feels like they are experienced right from scratch, which have never been the case. There were plenty out there and they attac...

During 43 East I had a 4-1/2 star PzIV get attacked head on in the clear by a 4 star KV-85 and take 9 casualties. :shock: I changed him into a Tiger soon after. I agree with the historical core philosophy. Turky-shoots are only fun at Dunkirk. :twisted: When you start playing DLC 44, and you only h...

One more thing about the Tigers in the game. In reality the Tiger was 2.5 more expensive than the Panzer IV and given the technical difficulties that the Germans were facing during the production process, the Tiger should cost about 1400-1500 prestige points. That would pretty much discourage peopl...

Do you need them? I finished DLC 1943 on Manstein, arguably the hardest unmodded difficulty of the game, and I didn't use a single Tiger tank. I do like those Panthers though, and I did pick up a few Elephants. http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=145&t=33427 So, do you NEED them? Cl...

Well; The game is great, no doubt about it. I saved the deployment fases of all battles in the DLC, so I can always go back to the "init phase". I also move my force teamwise. While now on the defense, I quard my armor and grenadiers with arties and defend them with planes. I have the reds...

Correct, but....

We know something that they didn't know.
The Panthers will also soon be available.. and they were good as well.

Isn't it better to not upgrade them all and choose to go for a couple of Panters ?

Dear soldiers;

I have batlled my way into and out of Stalingrad, and now find myself somewhere in the spring of 1943.
Long have I been waiting for the Tiger to deploy and as I have some 20k prestige to spend, that is not so much of a problem.

But......

Do I really need 10 of them ?

Which levels are these Rommel and Mannstein levels ?

I don't use them and still are very succesfull in my battles.
As I don't think that they are there for the show, so, how (many) should you use and when.

Yeahh, but Napoleon lived in some other time and he was a General of a higher level !!
You can't compare it.

Why should this be fixed.
The russians were not so clever in the early stages of the war.
Manpower and the use of "all we had" were the main tactics to hang in there.....

Many players tend to think that a wargame is something like shooting around and destroy everything you encounter.
Well, IF one plays like that, one don't stand a chance of winning on any level.

This game is a strategical game.
TURN-based.

Consider your moves and don't act to fast!!!

Wow.
63 Core units at the end of DLC '42 and 41k prestige !
U should definitely play on a higher level (just like the told me) !!

As said before;

Upgrades from the same "family" don't cost that much.
Upgrades from another "family" actually is not an upgrade, it is a whole new unit!!

Hmmmm.. interresting story. Makes deploying your units a bit more time consuming. Spotting in my opinion is usefull for spearhead panzers, or recons. Recons already are capable of spotting, but some extra hexes to be seen.... can make a difference. Defense. Usefull for infantry in cities. Initiative...
