And last but not least - The light brigade (+1 I)

As I wrote somewhere already, I thought cavalry surprisingly useful

For the heroes.
Knipsel impressive kills
Mobile flak excellent
JG 53 very good
Rudel - rules, why Me 410? I use him only to bomb
Axis allies artillery sad no heroes
Cavalry, very innovative thouhgt

With Rudel.... honestly I cant remember anymore. I probably did it while attacking England. When Allied fighters where still a threat I wasnt able to really defend anything (see the Fleet). As a pure Tacbomber he probably would just have died.

I like the sturdy Romanian and Italian Artys. 350xp shows they saw some action

And for the Cavalry.... If I ever play this again I will use a lot more of them.
The have great movement in all terrain and all weather.
So parking them in rough terrain is a lot easier.
And there they hold their ground even against tanks.
Since they dont use trucks they are also dirt cheap to repair.
They are kind of a dark horse (pun intended )

I have experienced this kind of situation with cavalry, but I have not intended to use them more, very good idea

Amazing review, I can agree to many points you made!

RE strategic map screenshots, most interesting for me would be around these times (/around these usual historic events)
- end of 41 (~usually Moscow / Crusader situation)
- end of 42 (~usually Stalingrad / El Alamein / Torch situation)
- mid 43 (~usually Kursk / Sicily situation)
- mid 44 (~usually Normandy / Bagration situation)
- mid 45 (~end of war situation)

Thank you Sir. You were the reason I finished it btw

The first save I had was Turn 20 start of April 1942. So no end of 1941, sorry.

Yes, also some Italian cavalry units are very useful around Tunis!
