haven't played it yet. bought it, downloaded it, won't load so I haven't uninstalled and reinstalled yet. that's my next mission. so here goes. R the Gustav Mortar/rail artillery,etc. made available? If yes, r they introduced as prototypes or commendation awards or is it subject to Denied Artillery? next Aircraft Upgrades. I assume the FW-109, Stuka G, maybe a few other new aircraft show up which would make Denied Aircraft really hard? Any other special units introduced? I;ve read about a few new AA/AT Heroes already. If I'm leaving anything out, LMK! thanks. trying to get it together before embarking on the road to Stalingrad. little aside. I was in Annecy, France a few years back. lovely place on a Glacier Lake, its namesake. In the middle of this quaint French town of all places, is Stalingrad Square commemorating the Great Russian Victory. strange to find it there of all places.

About Gustav, Karl and K5: No, none of them would appear in any way.
Yes, Denied Air Forces is not advised, AO 42 is also air-heavy with Close Air Support scenarios where you can only deploy aircrafts, 60~70 slot worth of them. Fw190A and Bf109G would get into production, though I'm not sure about Ju87G, forgot about its date. Enemy could swarm you with more than 10 fighters at once in one turn, so personally I would suggest get yourself up to 20 of the best fighters you can get before going into AO42 just in case you take any losses, if you still want to run with denied air.
The Tiger(P) would start arriving in a few batches as Prototypes, at around Stalingrad you should also get the real Tiger I. With Industrial Connection you may also start getting Panthers if RNG loves you. A new heavy fighter, He 219, would be available as Prototype. Ah almost forgot our new friend Fw189, the first recon aircraft with the ability to attack, in PC2!
Be sure to download the Battle of Lake Ladoga patch in the forum, that was the only hot fix before we can have a new patch dropping to fix all those complained problems. Going with Army Group North would award you a new unique infantry hero, while going south won't.

No. You won't join Manstein on the attack of Sevastopol, only help him clearing Kerch.

just as well. long scenarion in the regular 2 with an inevitable outcome. but the Gustav is fun to use. can't wait for Barr in a Consolidator OS 20 262
