Suggestion for the Greece and Kiev Maps

Post by AgentX »

I understand why the deployable units are now limited on these two campaign maps, as they were previously very easy to overrun with your entire core army. However, I think you could remove some of the AUX units on the maps so that we could have some more of our own units to deploy. Playing just a scenario it doesn't really matter much since all the units are basically your "core". But, during a campaign, you want to get more of your core units out there so they can gain some experience.

Greece is particuliarly bad since you only have 12 deployment slots. Eliminating all of land based AUX units and leaving just the AUX navy in the far west would open more spots for your core army. There are 3 infantry and an artillery on the western side of the map plus another 2 infantry and artillery in your main deployment area (with the AUX units gone, it would also be kind of nice to have 4 or 5 hexes opened up on the western side for core deployment). There is also an AUX paratroop unit that could be removed, so that would be 8 more possible deployment slots for a total of 20 core units instead of only 12. Maybe limit the number of air slots since there isn't much of an air defense, but let more of your core land units in. I believe your core number is at 24 by the end of France, so 20 core units (18 minimum) for Greece sounds good with a limit on the planes (like only 4 air).

Same can be done with Kiev. Kiev has a ton AUX units that could be replaced with core units plus opening all new areas and hexes for deployment. Just that army on the western edge of Kiev would be a nice spot to remove AUX units and open up for core deployment (I'd rather have my core army lead the attack on Kiev instead of AUX units anyways). If not Kiev, maybe remove some of the AUX units along the southern edge and open some hexes down there for deployment. Maybe also get rid of the AUX planes and open another airport for core deployment (perfect one would be the one next to the town of Smela). All I know is there are a lot of AUX units on this map and it would be nice to have more places for your own core units instead.

Like I said previously, it doesn't really matter much in the scenario mode, but when playing a campaign, you want as many of your core units in there as possible so they can gain some experience. Plus, its also nice to have as many deployment options/areas open as possible to increase strategy options.

Just use the Aux units wisely and you will be able to deploy more core units later.

After you play 100 games you will see..

What do you mean exactly??? Keeping alive Aux units during the maps before? Or throwing them away in suiced attacks on the Greece / Kiev Map?
