Warspite,

I'm looking forward to enjoying your Axis AAR. I've not played that side yet and was planning to do so next game. I'll probably wait a few days to learn what not to do from this AAR. [:D]

Good luck!

Damn - I thought my panzerschiffe were going to get home afterall, but they have been found by a Royal Navy destroyer flotilla.

Nothing much else to report - the German Army continue to stream west. I don't used operational movement as I want to save MPP.

Can you explain why you save MPP for multiple turns and then spend them all at once in a single turn?

I'm confused as to why you wait. If you were planning to spend on research, the sooner you spend, the sooner you get a return back. With the Germans earning enough MPP each turn, unless you have a need to spend on something else or need to save for an expensive unit, you spend on research each turn it is possible. Sometimes it helps to spend in a tech twice to increase the speed. I've found that you don't lose all chits in a tech if there are still levels to research so if you spend two chits, when the next level is reached, you are already working on the next one.

Thanks,
Malor

Warspite,

Are you using forced march to move them twice as far each turn or using normal movement?

Forced march (double click on unit in case you did not know it was available) is great because they get where you want them fast. They can then start entrenching to defend themselves (when needed) and still have time to be reinforced and upgraded if needed over a few turns while recovering the morale loss from the forced march. With an HQ in the area to help with morale, they can easily be ready for spring attack in the west within a few months, which is about all the time that is available anyway.

Thanks,
Malor
