AK: British India

[monkspider]

I am afraid it is a bit too late for Japs to appear. One thing interests me, what is your comment on prestige after Arabia to British India?

I personally found prestige to be rather tight. After a certain point in the campaign, it was generally at critical levels that impaired my ability to overstrength. I would normally advise you to increase the prestige but I see there are some players that have accumulated thousands of prestige by this point and they are playing at the same or even higher difficulty levels and I hate using normal replacements and causing the experience levels of my beautiful units to drop.
It is unfortunate that more players hadn't played through to this point, it would definitely help gage where casual players are going to be, prestige-wise.

Thanks. Can you also give us some info on your core composition at the start of last scenario as well as their experience and overstrength? Also do you prefer more cautious approach to the play trough or you simply jump into action?

Sure, I am definitely a more cautious player. From a Civil War perspective, my general style would probably be comparable to General George McClelland.
