Hopefully helpful multiplayer tips

[SiberianStorm]

It may help players new to MP and new to tournaments to explain some of the MP basics.
I found these post written by PC legends really helpful and will summarize some of my learnings here:

Start with (re)reading the game manual.
Watch Edmon's tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTUt9vO ... SqlUMLnFWX
Read the above referenced posts.
CHAT with your opponent, I found many people fun and helpful.

DEPLOYMENT
1. You can change your army setup during the deployment phase (redeploy, purchase, upgrade (within the same class or to another class e.g. tank to recon, disband)). Undeploy all button will undeploy core units only, which will also help you understand what to mess with (core) and what never to disband (auxiliary). Disband all is not to be done.
2. You can always redeploy your core units. If you disband a core unit (has a ^ symbol on the unit icon) you will get the full cost of the unit (prestige, core slots) back.
BEWARE: If you disband a core unit with experience (stars *) you can not buy a new unit with the same experience instead. Upgrade preserves experience. Cross-class upgrade e.g. tank to recon, removes one star from experience.
4. If you undeploy an auxiliary unit you may not be able to redeploy it (not completely sure about the rules/exceptions here).
5. If you disband an auxiliary unit you may not get any prestige back (not sure if there are any exceptions). DO NOT DISBAND auxiliary units during the deployment phase, you will not get any value back.
6. If you buy paratroopers WITHOUT a transport and scenario allows for air transport, you can deploy airborne paratroopers in the deployment phase AND drop them in the 1st turn to an unoccupied airfield.
PROTECT your airfields (and supply hexes) (and objectives) with a unit at all times.
7. 17 strength Bridge Engineer costs 90 prestige and 1 core slot. Split unit of Bridge Engineers (8 + 9) costs 90 prestige points and 2 core slots and is often good enough to prevent a paratrooper drop or a long distance recon/truck advance to your supply hex. This makes them a great candidate for the above "protection"
BATTLE
1. You can buy new units only at the supply hexes. Supply hexes have an icon with white "half-circle", and can be different from mission objective hexes. Buy planes at the supply airfields, buy ground units at supply "cities", buy ships at supply ports.
2. You can disband your existing units (and recover it's worth in core slots (full) and prestige (prorated)) ONLY at the supply hexes. AND if the movement and attack actions have not been spent, otherwise you have to wait for the new turn. Recons are exceptions to the rule as you can move them to the supply hex and disband them IF attack action is unspent.

There is probably much more to learn from the best in the game.
Feel free to add to this post/correct if I made mistakes.
Good luck everyone

Great list, thanks.

I personally would have greatly benefited from something like this before the tournament started. First match I deleted the Polish armored train. Second match I disbanded all my experienced units. Third match, hopefully no glaring mistakes.

Thanks again, looking forward to additions from others.

Better to use the Steam version, I edited it a little.
