Hi Hofstadter, thanks a lot for your video. Unfortunately the concepts you explained are quite easy to grasp as they are well explained in the manual.
I was more curious in watching the actual build up of a strategy. In fact I'm wondering if isolating Marseille and pounding it with air attacks would make it easier for infantry division to occupy it. That way tanks can used to spearhed north and maybe gain at least one victory point up north.

Ah, nice point on taking Nice from the start, that was very instructive.

Yeah i made a note on how simple the concepts were, i just didnt want to go through the entire process again when i snagged a major victory earlier on. Its why i showed my end game. toulon has to be taken as soon as possible, once the majority of the weak blocking forces are out of the way and you have a couple of units on avignon, absolutely start pounding and trying to get marseilles and toulon, because the germans have a few incredibly strong armored units coming down that you wont be able to get by, the best you can hope against them is by holding avignon against them. For marseilles i just flooded my units with engineers and armor in a hope to reduce the fortification level of the city.

Next i am going to go through strategy tips for the grand campaign, for this ill read a couple of aars to watch for common moves and read the tips bit at the end of the manual

Actually my next tutorial is going to cover literally everything there is to do in ground combat. Will cover how cv is modified and maximizing cv for single units.
