order of battle WW2 'Resource Points'

Post by talifer55 »

hi,
I would appreciate some advice with regards to 'Resource Points'......How they work and how to increase them...

I am currently on the 'Iwo Jima' scenario. I have a lot of 'command points' but not enough 'Resource points'

thank you

Resources are often limited in scenarios, I never do elite replacement except for small units such as infantry units where the difference between normal and elite replacement is negligible.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to moderate the replacement for one unit, the game calculates the resource cost for a maximum replacement.
Certain secondary objectives or specializations allow to gain resources.

The replacement is always done with the maximum number of resource points

You get few RP back for disbanding, but not much. This is intended to make decisions about core compositions matter.

edit: IIRC you get the full RP back if you just purchased the unit, and disband while still in the pre-battle deployment stage. Later it's as said above.

I'm starting Panzerkrieg and have so many units I've imported that I need more points to field the experienced units. Waffen SS question. are you ever awarded more slots or always stuck with only 6?

Check the spec screen, there's another spec coming for extra slots (plus a third in the last DLC of the German trilogy).
