I guess the only thing you truly long for is your favoured unit and the personal transport of Generalfeldmarschall Gabe: the armoured train.
True, it has been with me since BK's Yugoslavia, I think, and I did deploy it every time when possible, even in PK.
But the real treat is waiting for me at Anzio, I guess. I saw it in the units file already and even resisted the temptation to try it out in the editor. If I understood Bruce's explanation of the
campaign tree correctly, I have to have a minor outcome event or a draw at Novgorod to get into that branch. Can't hardly wait now. The range of that thing must be incredible...

I especially shun those SPATs with a big gun and cardboard armour, but they are good when only supporting and not fired upon.
I was quite pleased with the Ferdinand TBH, expensive (320RP) but with a nice performance there. Some aux. infantry backed up by one of those decimated the Soviet heavy armour like it was nothing...
But yeah, units like the "Sturer Emil" are completly useless in direct attacks. Always losing health that way and they're incredibly expensive to repair (plus they have the "SlowRepair" trait).

Now, I'll try to keep my word and hold on to Fastov:
I did, but a smaller perimeter would have been cheaper. Those three extra health points with the enemy are indeed costly. Every time one of those 13HP units attacks out of the blue with full efficiency, it just hurts real bad.

My core at the moment:
1x inf, 1x Gebirgsjäger, 1x eng, 2x heavy inf
1x PzIV/H, 1x PzV/A, 1x PzVI/E, 1x Sturmp.
2x StuG/G, 1x St.Emil, 1x Ferdinand
2x 17cm, 1x Nebelw, 1x Wurfrahmen
1x AA 7/1 (from the first scen, never deployed since)
1x FW190F, 2x FW190G, 1x He177 "Greif" (didn't know that nickname, I like it, and will change the units name in the language files)
WaffenSS: PzV/A, PzVI/E, 17cm, Hummel (with only 12CP
)
And I got the following captured units so far: BA-10, T34'40, KV-1.
Did I miss something on the way?
