That's tempting to consider. In my current campaign (on General) I'm dealing with huge prestige gains, much more than I'll realistically need and I've been thinking how to further offset that beyond the prestige sink events in a run with Slow Modernization and Retrograde one day, as unless there's a...

AO 1939 - Orenthal Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 29680 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/dg6S2kc/32.jpg Günther Koch grants a rather passive ability, not so easy tu utilize. Considering that I'd like to have my Zerstörer unit operate as independently of fighter cover as possible, he do...

AO 1939 - Warndt Forest Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 28997 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/S0zySRD/20.jpg Torsten Hofmann is a perfect fit for Infanterie Reg 99 (span.). The Spanish volunteers due to their choice of weapons are specialists in close combat, but usually lack the range...

I run into ammo issues more often than I thought. With my tendency to set up grand overruns where possible (unless it's more profitable to start forcing surrenders) my tanks use up their ammo really fast. At 1-2 ammo left AI often tries to aggressively target such units - making them use up remainin...

AO 1939 - Sarreguemines Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 25361 https://i.ibb.co/5RwwmH0/9.jpg An early unique hero is a great bonus to take, especially that so far I have not been given many heroes I would consider high impact ones for tanks. This boost to panzers will be of hu...

AO 1939 - Czechoslovakia Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 22765 Starting CP: 5 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/zsqs2B0/1.jpg AO 1939 starts off with a great roll. Lars Lange is a perfect fit for Artillerie Abt 601, allowing it to be equipped with the biggest, baddest heavy towed gun the...

AO Spanish Civil War - Madrid 1939 Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 21240 https://i.ibb.co/YyrY4p5/136.jpg I agree this time. I will have no use for the commendation left and some extra equipment, while probably will not see any action, can at least boost morale and supply a fe...

Why deploy aircraft to Catalonia and take the risk? Many Republican forces patrol all over the map, could have lost your entire air force to an open airfield on a snowy turn. Oh well, some lessons just have to be learned the hard way. When the snow (or rain) starts to fall, it's time to start reser...

AO Spanish Civil War - Catalonia Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 18172 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/59KYDL0/130.jpg Victor Braun joins PzAbt 411. This battalion is to specialize in anti-infantry combat, so the ability should help assaulting targets in close terrain, while also provi...

AO Spanish Civil War - Battle of the Ebro https://i.ibb.co/7YkJhsP/112.jpg An obvious yes to this idea. A talented fighter pilot will become the leader of I./JG 61 and in fact the entire JG 61. With all the bonuses provided it should be much easier to deal with "swarms of Ratas" that the briefing h...

You are crushing it! I had the same feeling like you did here, this mission gave maybe a few more turns than it needed to. A challenge, I'd be honestly impressed if you can take the Ebro mission on without using that envelopment hero and get the bonus objective. I failed at that in my playthrough, ...

AO Spanish Civil War - Aragon Offensive Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 14752 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/5Rw0Wst/102.jpg Another mechanic who can help provide simple repairs on the battlefield, Lars Koch might not show his skills to often, but with artillery occasionally hitting o...

1D - my own listing. There was a forum post where Kerensky himself alluded to that vague possibility, so I actually find it quite likely. :) 5D - seem like an interesting option to run a bonus optional scenario. 5A - looks really viable. My vote: 4B, 4C & 2C ( Vive la France ) Counted. Did I say 1D...

AO Spanish Civil War - Teruel Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 13857 https://i.ibb.co/9gyQjjB/92.jpg This is a welcome trade I am more than willing to take. Another tank unit would be useful - not compulsory, but in some scenarios could serve the army well, especially since I'm...

AO Spanish Civil War - Zaragoza Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 13621 https://i.ibb.co/Zxq5R0f/82.jpg I decline the offer this time. This is something I will take one day under Retrograde/Slow Modernization for some better access to equipment from all CP point awards, but here...

Game loved you on heroes at the start. Envelopment and Fast Rebase are both really good. Since then a bit more blaah though. What does Prudent do? I don't think I've got that one yet. Going by the name, just 'no ambushes' or something similar? Prudent gives a defense bonus for each point of lost st...

AO Spanish Civil War - Brunete Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 11040 https://i.ibb.co/vzZ7xL4/69.jpg I again politely decline the exchange. I am aiming towards not doing the prestige exchange at Zaragoza, an just the one from bonus objectives to get two unique awards, so agree...

Prediction - Spitfire as a gift unit for CP (either in a Channel Islands scenario or after Dunkirk). Time to make Galland happy. :D Not sure if this is enough to count as technically Matyna mentioned the hope for more captured planes, but I have this oddly specific feeling about what we can encounte...

Units that are un-acquirable are far more interesting. German prototypes, enemy aircraft, enemy prototypes, or truly unique units like the Verjada 2 are the real cherries on top of the Commendation system. Definitely expect to see more exotic rewards and less meh ones, because it's just a good thin...
