i am Italy taking on the krauts now.

balkans not baltics

for defensive heavy tank setup;

3 divisons of heavy tanks 4 deep, 1 division of mechanized 4 deep 1 division of antitank or art 3 deep. for support engineer, recon, maintance, (the opposite of what line of support you put in the templete, so if you stuck 3 art, put anti tank for support, if you put 3 antitank, put art support.) then finally AA support and you sir now have a brick wall

for tank set ups depends on what your going for. speed wise keep light or medium tanks, for defensive tanks. go heavy. but ill break down a good setup for speed tanks

3 divisons of tanks 3 deep. 1 division of motorized or mech 4 deep 1 divison of motorized rocket art. 2 deep. for support, recon, engineer, maintance, artillary, anti tank. this will be really good at punching through infantry and encirclements light tanks move the fastest, but are frail against other armor.

calvary is really good for a speedy way through mountains too, but if you using calvary for mountains use this set up it works really well as a way to punch holes in lines. 2 calvary divisions 4 deep for support, engineer, recon logistics, arty support, anti tank support. enjoy punching holes in the baltics or in china :)

jim, as a minor nation whos playing as facist your control of the world tensions is a must watch, now as long as the world tension doesnt rise above 90 it will fall on its own. as for playiing in the baltic states like hungary, romania, yugoslavia... mountain troops work best, try this infantry set up and let me know how it plays out for you. 3 mountain division 3 deep, 1 artillary division 2 deep, for support recon, entrenchment, field hospital, logistics and antitank. give those a try, and your regular infanty should be able to take on tanks and any infantry they come across... oh and for land doctorines go down the mass assault, because it gives bonuses to poor supply, entrenchmen and then it splits into blitzing tactics or all infantry tactics., and if you dont think you can win the air war. add AA support to your infantry instead of the anti tank and your infantry will start shooting down fighters and the attackers, the strategic bomber wont be fazed by them i dont think

The cavalry statistics are actually best for forest areas, they're a cheap option for motorized if you want to spend less on resources, I ended up figuring out alot, but it's never bad to have some cavalry as they can be a good use for forest attacks if you mix with infantry or artillery. and as the author said for resistance.

Calvary is good for fighting resistance that is it!

So from what I can tell, let the AI general control the front line, and have the human player control the attacking force? (The AI seems to not realize the difference between divsions). Also why should I have calvary? I personally tend to delete it as fast as possible and replace it with more tanks and infantry and mountianeers.

oh nevermind
