How do I make my panzer reach fast & long?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

How do I make my panzer reach fast & long?

Just learned about HQ buildup supply. I know about the airdrops and keep within 5 hexes of HQ.

Any other ways to make them faster & far reaching? Did anyone strip them of foot infantry or something that slows them down? In that case, how does one do that?

Panzer Divisions only have motorized infantry as part of their ToE. Just make sure that you take some time planning your moves with your mobile forces.

I've read in the War Room that some use infantry divs to break the hole in the front.
Since the Panzer divs are fresh then they have more MP to exploit the gap.

Whoa.

That's kind of a personal question, isn't it? [;)]

I favor not getting my Panzers to far ahead of my supply and infantry. Attrition alone hurts, but if they start fighting to many battles on their own they will turn into chopped liver...
