Should I change the Grenadiers into Pionieres?
Thanks for any opinions.

Regardless of the theatre of war, I always have both Grenadiers and Pionieres, a few Pionieres for mines or when a city needs to be taken quickly, and Grenadiers as they're generally the best infantry. Of course, a move hero is always handy to help with the lower move. Not really an answer to your question, but I've played Afrika Korps twice and don't remember doing any different as I always have more Pionieres anyway. It's been a while, but maybe AK has more minefields?

AK has more mines

I thought it might have... in that case, more Pionieres would definitely be helpful, even new ones if you don't want to convert your Grenadiers. I really enjoyed AK, good variety.

I did go with the Pioneers. I have another question. A M+1 is useful in the Grand Campaign for Pioneers and Grenadiers, but Will that work on a desert hex to give them a 3 hex ground movement?
Thanks.

Good question, I'd forgotten about that. It's probably 10 years since I last played AK so I can't remember to be sure. Hopefully someone else can help on this one.

I usually have mix of Pioneers and Grenadiers.
