JU52

The development team behind the award-winning games Decisive Campaigns: From Warsaw To Paris and Advanced Tactics is back with a new and improved game engine that focuses on the decisive year and theater of World War II! Decisive Campaigns: Case Blue simulates the German drive to Stalingrad and into the Caucasus of the summer of 1942, as well as its May preludes (2nd Kharkov offensive, Operation Trappenjagd) and also the Soviet winter counter-offensive (Operation Uranus) that ended with the encirclement of 6th Army in Stalingrad and the destruction of the axis minor armies. With many improvements including the PBEM++ system, this is a release to watch for wargamers!

In case Blue long you get one unit and I usually build a second. In trappen... you have to build a lot of units like the Ju52s.

On first turn, I make sure to build a heavy artillery, a German Corp, and the Ju52 unit.

All the replacements go through OKH so you can always see what you have by looking there and possibly building units to handle the specific type of reinforcement.



I hope this helps????/

Yes you can HQ's. The Germans must be short one or two at start I am guessing.

compare the two OOBs, Trapp and Case Blue Long.

You will need to build corps to accommodate the influx of divisions. Only build one at a time or they will all come online together. You will need two heavy artillery units. Again, build one at a time. Build a transport air unit. Don't forget to have enough engineers, build as needed. Don't get caught without them.

Do not play with Axis Minor rules. Just a head ache and you are not given enough minor officers and to build the number of corps needed it takes forever.

In general if you see some troop type building up in your OKH and not being requested by subordinate units its time to build a new unit from scratch that needs these type of troops.

I agree this is a bit a rough edge of the game, but there is a handy PDF OOB guide included that you can consult to see which type of formation will request which troops.

Best,
