I did a lot of researching my old thread found here:

OK, so as of this morning I started the winning Path, and I have 3 units in my reserves that I chose to leave behind, but as of my reflecting on my close to 1300 in prestige I am thinking maybe about building up some additional forces to help finish this path successfully.
Here are my thoughts on additional Italian units to purchase:
M41M da 90/53: This AT is a beast with 20 HA and with each additional star would be going up in an additional +2 Attack. Problem's only moves 4, defense is an anemic 6 and in the air 4. 316 is cost effective hard hitter, that I would need to start building now to make effective later. I tried using him on the losing side and lost him in the brutal Mareth Line battle.
Thoughts?
1 more Italian 88? Not sure this is necessary as I have a +4 attack Italian 88 that is doing very, very well. As well as an uber cheap mobile AA that I use almost anywhere on the map with it's 8 movement. I know that hurly recommended having a 2nd, but not sure.
Thoughts?
1 more Fighter: This is one I am doing a lot of considering. Here are my thoughts. The Centauro does not come out until 3/19/1943, that is a long way away. So what if I purchased a CR.42 Falco for an uber cheap 156 in prestige and use him for mine clearing and unit hits when the enemy air force is completely gone. Once I build up 2 stars than it will be ready to upgrade to a Centauro and because I saved all of that prestige by building him up when he is a lowly CR.42 Falco.
Thoughts?
Iknow I must be crazy with some of these ideas, but when you are working with such limited amounts of prestige you wrestle with these kinds of thoughts, and I would love if the community could provide me with their thoughts on some of this insanity.
