1. South is still the most important area for me. It has the same manpower as Leningrad + Moscow.
You can take it easly because most Russians are giving it to the German players. I can use the extra land to retreat during blizzard, its all easly retakeable during 42.
The south forse needs 4 extra divisions to start the campiagn, but once across the rivers they can be returned to AGC.
2. The 2nd most important target is Leningrad. It can be held and get fins in the game, which greatly shortens front for 42.
3. Moscow. yes grinding can be done if or if not its taken. Even if you take it chances are your going to lose it over the winter unless your playing someone that is new to game. I 100% agree it very doable now and taking the manpower from the Red for even 6 months is huge.

The only thing thats changed for me is manpower centers are the bottleneck now.

Pre 1.05 was about armament post 1.05 its about manpower.

The south has the most manpower.

Katza is right, it depends on the game. As German you must be very flexable.

The better the Russian can defend the south and north the better his chances are of holding Moscow.

As German all hope is lost if you cant take the south and north.

If you focus on center and dont get it done, then your smoked long run.

The only thing thats changed is Russians can't evac population.
