I was also happy to see that Fornebu is doable after all, I was concerned about it and the ability to save my grounded planes, but it looks like my own planes scared the attackers away. Paznermon will not have that luxury, so that will be a bigger challenge. Eben-Emael is not something I would like ...

AO 1940 - Fornebu https://i.ibb.co/smCRTYT/56.jpg Unit availability list with marked possible upgrade/purchase options native to the AO1940. Of course I will get them a lot later with Retrograde, so not all will be possible to get this time. Neubaufahrzeug does not qualify as it was only a prototyp...

Retograde will certainally be interesting, although I believe by now Germany's production capabilites should be picking up compared to previous segments so hopefully things won't be too bad? I had a look at the equipment csv file dates and mission dates. Compared to Denmark, nothing new can be upgr...

AO 1940 - Valona https://i.ibb.co/BKW4gfK/174.jpg I am also certain we would make much better use of these than our allies, but perhaps not during this particular run. Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 20302 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/rbXBLsP/175.jpg Udo has a lot of potential and u...

AO 1940 - Battle of Pindus Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 19677 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/DYdFdf6/161.jpg Nice, a second Zero Slots Hero. For sure not as crazy as the first one, but really welcome nonetheless. Helmut becomes and officer in Artillerie Abt 602, partially because o...

AO 1940 - Portsmouth https://i.ibb.co/PCZh8wL/151.jpg Quite a few nice gifts. At this point, why not, time to add some to the museum room. Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 17745 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/QJbx8vN/152.jpg PzAbt 412 will be built up as a mobility focused tank unit, a...

AO 1940 - Epsom https://i.ibb.co/bd2hFZS/136.jpg A few tanks not really worth the points, but for science I take the offer. Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 14566 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/Sx1QQyk/137.jpg Ugh... Matthias Lange will be assigned to Pionier Brücken Bataillon 2 and st...

AO 1940 - Brighton https://i.ibb.co/0X8XqYw/123.jpg A quick "verification" trade off for the sake of future runs. While I now have access to Spitfires, poor Galland will have to wait. Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 10514 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/NFVhpMv/124.jpg PzAbt 402 become...

Modifiers are applied as part of combat calculation, so they apply to all enemy units, including newly spawned ones. Oh, that is brutal. That means that a regular T-26 will have 18 SA, 19 HA, 13 initiative, 18 GD and a base accuracy of 100% on Generalissimus by turn 25 at the Battle of the Ebro (50...

AO 1940 - Dover https://i.ibb.co/c8qV4cS/114.jpg That's a huge prestige sink and I'm unlikely to use the awards anyway from a sneak peak at available ones, but this first run is all about discovering possibilities and making notes for the future, so expanding the collection is not a problem, if onl...

AO 1940 - Jersey Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 47476 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/4gkYxX3/110.jpg Infanterie Reg 57 can now use both Avenger and Prudent, that is actually quite flavorful. New Equipment Provided: I./SG 7 - Ju 87R II./SG 7 - Ju 87R III./SG 7 - Ju 87R Starting Army C...

AO 1940 - Neufchateau Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 43797 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/FWb94Jp/92.jpg I'm not going to be original, Torsten Schmitt joins II./ZG 6 for hopefully the same defensive combination of traits as I would like to set up for I./ZG 6 in the future. Starting A...

AO 1940 - Battle of Abbeville Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 37297 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/zfGHmh9/75.jpg Since I have Double Support on one artillery already and with Counter Battery fire I fear it might get too ammo costly to have it everywhere, I assign Gerhard Schneider to...

Way to go! I'm impressed you got the AA guns, I failed to get that secondary. I also lost a fighter here, as towards the end I stopped trimming the AI's fighter swarms and they accumulated too much. I also got a few 'survivor' 1 and 2 medals here. It feels like, ultimately, that's something the gam...

AO 1940 - Dunkirk https://i.ibb.co/xzCBTtF/68.jpg I cannot say no to unique heroes. Especially that Heinrich Bar has a very useful set of abilities. I'd still rate Galland higher on the unique hero list, but with increasingly good enemy planes appearing on the front any improvement to my fighters i...

AO 1940 - Siege of Lille Starting Prestige (after purchases and replacements): 28530 Hero: https://i.ibb.co/dG4Xx7m/56.jpg Top tier this time. I have multiple options of assignment and every unit would love to see this hero, but ultimately I decide that Dirk Zimmermann can join Panzerjäger Abt 202 ...

Dunkirk is optional, so that makes room for different options. As long as this approach is maintained for such scenarios the first time around I think people should be happy with the way new ideas are introduced. Limiting unit types available not just by soft suggestions, but hard requirements can e...

It's on one star so far (I mark these with asterisk on each mission's deployment list). After the first star in 1939 it's now getting extra stars much more slowly, but for 2 slots it's still amazing in certain conditions given that huge movement.

I mixed them up indeed, makes sense now. Guess my reading skill at this hour are not at their best. :) As for prestige gains, I indeed managed to pile up a large reserve in Panzermon, but not having to buy those auxiliary units each mission (especially so many of them) is a lot saved and also a smal...

Suddenly Cheap Replacements doesn't look so bad. Gonna be honest, with Prestige being a bit tight between the Prestige Sink and the last few scenarios not allowing for any real gain, I think it will be more useful to have Schmid get transferred back to Germany for some extra funds than actually ser...
