Kinda came to that conclusion after battling through Warsaw. Next up is spoils of war with the Bolsheviks! I still have my original 2 PzIA's as my main tank force,waiting until France 40' to upgrade them both.

Right about elite rep until Norway (except planes).
Plus I sold all my infantry and tanks units after the first Polish scenario. Then bought 88, pioneers and cavalry - much cheaper than upgrading (also - not a single tanks until the first PzIII !)

That might be a little rough with the Pz Ia. You are going to face a KV in that scenario. Not that the Pz 38t is much better I suppose.

That is actually impressive. I think I had 3 Pz-38(t)s before france maybe 4.

Heh, in my video AAR I faced down the Soviet tanks, with the little panzer Is. That KV2 should've killed one of my infantry, but I got lucky.

Yeah but didn't you lose a couple of those on Manstein? Plus I think you might have a screw loose

I lost about 8 infantry, possibly more, on Manstein. I didn't lose any units when I played with -75% prestige, which is considerably easier. This mode gets harder in 1942 and 1943.

It is interesting that you mention Rommel getting harder in the later years. I was thinking about that the other day as I bought my Panthers for the first time.

Which levels are these Rommel and Mannstein levels ?

They appear after you finish the 1939 campaign on Field Marschall level

Not just complete you have to go through the scenarios in America. So for instance if you end up at D-Day you won't unlock them.

To be absolutely correct then you need DV in the US West Coast scenario

Correct.
