There are airbases deep in my controlled regions(for example, those deployed in some axis allies). Is it necessary to move all of them to the front?

Thanks everyone for your advice!

<t> I'm playing the largest scenario. In the third turn, the construction of railway can't catch up with my panzer/motorized units and the supplies and fuels that can be dropped are very limited. It seems that these units have to stay where they are in this turn and wait for the extension of ...

Yes, you should reassign any Infantry units in a Panzer Corps to an Infantry Corps. Infantry units in a ...

You should not have infantry divisions in same Corp as panzers number one.<br/>

The logistics part of the game is key as in RL.<br/>

HQBU helps, fuel drops to Corp HQ or units helps.<br/>

<t> I always push my panzer/motorized divisions deep into soviet control area, ahead of other units and far away from the railroad heads. How can I provide these units with enough fuels and supplies? How can I make the infantry divisions in the same corp of the panzer/motorized divisions keep up ...

When you lose HQs effects by displacement or too distant placement, your play is weakened. Support units won't commit, arty disabled, command & control less effective and maybe more.<br/>

BTW, never putting them in the way of the enemy ...

Yes. otherwise if an enemy ground unit is able to move next to a HQ or AB by itself it will do a 'displacement' move, which bumps it back several hexes. Might not cause much damage, but is disruptive so good to try and avoid it.

are you trying to protect them from air attack or getting displaced by ground units?

I only stack those in the front with combat units to protect them from Soviet ground units. Is it necessary?

I always stack my airbases and headquarters with some combat units to protect them. Is it necessary? Thanks.

I usually get 6 panzer/motorised accross the Dvina. The Cesis/Madona pair get to the Gulf of Finland on turn 2, one to cross between Lake Peipus and Lake Pskow, and the remaining 3 to encircle Pskow to its East. If I had another I would now ...

I used too, but against the AI now I never do. You can get your panzers to Cesis and Madona on turn 1 which means Talinn and the gulf of Finland near Narva on turn 2. Unlike Riga you can ship infantry straight away to Talinn which means ...

Yes, I take it. You need to prioritize first the infantry of AGN to clear a path to Riga, so that the PZ's are able to reach the hex next to Riga that isn't swamp. There is a path to get there without crossing a minor river too.<br ...

[font="Verdana"]Do you take Riga in the first turn? How? Use panzer and motorized divisions? Is it kind of waste of tanks and motorized vehicles? How do you use the panzer and motorized divisions? To Spoil and entrap soviet units or to use them directly in combats? Thanks. [/font]

Best answer IMHO is to experiment with some of the "Road to City X" scenarios and see first hand what works well and what doesn't. Ultimately, the answer to "how large" is "as large as you can secure" and in actual games there have been some ...

Early pockets are really big, sometimes 20-30 hexes in diameter. Later in the war it is very hard to make them those big, so even 10 hexes would be considered big. It all depends whether you need to screen the hexes of the belt or not. Early ...

<t> [font="Verdana"]I know the axis should trap as many Soviet units in pockets as possible, especially in the first several turns.But how large a pocket should be? What's the best distance between the units that are conducting the trapping mission? Do you divide a division into smaller units when ...
