Having survived a brutal Bagration scenario, I am looking for tips for the next Baltic campaign scenario? It seems you need to be everywhere at once and though I have my best friends Karl and Gustav, I have problems figuring out a good deployment scheme.
Any hints?. I’ve finished all the other campaigns, just looking for help with this one.

I kept a non mobile blocking force in the north of the map (Tigers, slow moving artillery and a couple of infantry) and then had my mobile force to the south of the map (Panthers, mobile artillery, AT). And I had most of my air units to the south too, which acted as a fire brigade.

The southern part of the map took more work for me. I divided the airforce rather evently, but unlike MickMannock had the slower towed artillery to the south, to help clear the forested regions. Also, having one AT unit in ech group helped deal with Soviet armour.

If you can, try to take the southern airfield - it's poorly defended. The timing there is critical, as it's easy to run into a counter attack and get overwhelmed in the open, but taking it for at least a few turns makes things more difficult for the Soviet to bombard your forces freely.

Finally, I'd skip deployment of the large railway guns - they take a lot of slots that could be used by 2 regular units and that will help to cover more ground. Inflicting losses is secondary here, it's just a matter of keeping the tracks clear for the transports.
