I have updated my initial post to keep everything in a single place.
I added some comments after the end of the Campaign.

Can you please elaborate on this Italian Flak? There is no core Italian unit in Syracuse. Which Flak can fire in transport mode? thanks.

Indeed you get an Italian 90mm AA gun with Sdkfz.251/1 in, Taranto not Syracuse. Sorry my bad.

Any deployed auxiliary V1/2 are lost even if you don't use them. You can check this for yourself by deploying such assets, starting the scenario, then entering the cheat code "endscn 0" to immediately end the scenario with a DV and move to the next one, you deployed V weapons won't be in y...

Having replayed all of GC East and being midway through GC west. I think most scenarios victory conditions are fine, but a few of them are more ambiguous. On lower difficulty you might not even notice the slight difference as you might easily achieve more than the required objectives. But when the f...

the DV text says "Hold all Victory Hexes for 5 total turns total". However if you look carefully at the victory conditions in the scenario editor it mentions: - For decisive victory: Turn [1,-1] AND Tag 'Victory' exists then the scenario scripts clarify the 'Victory' tag activation: Turn [...

I think you just have to count Movement points spent. Each stop and go cost 1 MP in addition to terrain cost.

I thought about removing that core transition limit between GC 41 and GC West 42-43, but I'm not sure how to deal with the prestige ramifications. My first thought was, to make all those GC West 42-43 gifted core units into aux units. But that would only partially account for all those additionally...

I didn't tried without the limit, but in Manstein with RNG I had no problem finishing it . That being said, beside the difficulty. I don't like GC West campaign design. Sure there are issue with GC East (prestige flood, no restrictions on unit types in your core...), so I understand the want to chan...

You didn't mention on which difficulty you are playing. Just my humble opinion: - Although historically the Germans were strategically defending on the western front, in this campaign you want fast and mobile units in most scenarios. - Both Pak are indeed pretty useless. - Movement 3 infantry are us...

Considering the units I chose from 1941. There are 2 easy improvements. - First I kept my SE Grenadier from the very beginning of the campaign. Obviously having a regular Grenadier and a SE Panzer instead would save some Soft Cap. In my case the difference between a SE Grenadier (Sdkfz.251/1) and a ...

The best way to suppress IS-2 is with experienced strategic bombers.

Oleh Dir is super strong with M3 combined with I3. Indeed it opens the way to new tactics. I use Bf.110 because it has a nice and cheap upgrade path up to Me.410 all in family. And a Me.410 with Uber Rudel won't be attacked by allied fighter. In contrast Stuka are extremely vulnerable in Ultimate di...

That being said, having played GC east in Chess mode gave me a different appreciation of heroes. with the wild RNG it is more difficult to get feedback for the precise effect of heroes. A1 or D1 is close to nothing. A3 is close to having a +1 kill on average per attack. Though it depends on many oth...

Yes indeed. Again I made this comment for playing on FM difficulty. And Personally I would not use them either in Rommel. However in this series of video I play in Ultimate and I do use them. I think the additional special heroes were introduced with revision 1.20, though I am not sure. At the time,...

I made this suggestion if you play on Field Marshall or lower difficulty. Initially when the Grand Campaign was released those special heroes were not present. And the campaign was not hard to complete with only DV. Later the devs introduced the special heroes, which make the campaign that much easi...

After completing Grand Campaign East in Ultimate difficulty with chess mode combat, I now take a look at Grand Campaign West . Foreword: Playing with un-modded Panzer Corps Gold edition, rules 1.20, reform units. I might reload poor heroes, or extreme weather. For a discussion on the difficulty sett...

To be more precise a unit reduced to entrenchment level '1' before attack will retreat if all its remaining steps are suppressed after the attack. That's is previous artillery suppression plus suppression from the ground attack proper. You can try infantry in transport mode as they have very low att...

You loose all prestige but 2000pp (modified by difficulty settings) at the start of St Nazaire turn 2. Soft Cap is an issue but bear in mind that you will receive a lot of new core units for free in the early 42/43 scenario.
