On to malaga and start planning to get awards/exp etc shared out, collector is a bit of an annoyance here as you cant have more than one unit in entire roster so a t26 in your reserve stops you having one deployed. previous issue with no 2cm flak was down to retrograde as i have it this turn as new gear along with recon car, 3.7 cm aa and 37mm pak.

prototype this round is italian tanke which can wait for ebro and hero was envelopment which ill stick on t26 and fingers crossed for overwhelming force before ebro. I emeber this map being easy enough so no auxillaries, i have been calling them them reserves up until now , and i can take it slowly to preserve prestige.
th enew recon car i got last time got 856pretige in a single map with no heroes, was stuck below the big nationalist troop area so must have been getting it through support on their attack may try similar tactic this map.

new units

sold t26 so then upgraded sdkfz 221 to t26to get some expon tank
bought fresh sdkfz 221
upgraded unl 35 to ba6 then stuck it in reserve
bought fresh unl35
bought fresh 2cm and 3.7mm flak guns

Malaga went well, fighters starting look obsolete, recon getting crazy exp aac sitting on 1300 exp after 2 missions. Got slowed down a bit due to extra support needed by spanish due to trench slog. Got 1st steamroller but maybe cross this over onto a recon, aim this early is to get more steamrollers so its wont be used that much.

onto brunete where main aim is to capture vega and those flame tanks.
took exchange to get the fighters and didn't hide any prestige.
hero is aggressive counter attack which can go on the new fighter maybe leave it on its own with camouflaged 88mm.
prototype is sdkfz 231 which is similar to acc1937 but has rapid fire so will upgrade steamroller tank to it.

new units
upgraded pz1b to sdkfz 231
upgraded he 51 to I-16
upgraded ba6 to pz1b

Brunette was fairly straight forward didn't complete bonus objectives but got the flame tank and the 15 cm supplies no ral impact from game set up apart from denied aircraft, and even then i wasn't under that much pressure.

aiming assistance is really good on anti-tank, they often lag behind in experience without it.

teruel turned into a real prestige drain mainly due to allies , cavalry expensive to keep healing. Apart from that it was fairly straight forward truck got stuck with the fog and had to crawl its way home.

Aiming Assistance is really good hero. Also very good on Fighter Planes. They assist ground units too and get XP that way.
Also I came to like the Prudent Hero. I'm playing with 1 hero per unit only an I put it on the OS15 Verdaja tank. In 1939 it never got below 10 str so far ( and that was only once)
And a 10str Verdaja immune to damage is good!

while there are definitely some useless heroes out there, its not as many as people think some marginal heroes i sold to keep me going , I wasn't 100% needed but made things less stressful.

so after a few attempts at ebro i eventually got job done maybe due to some kinder spwaning, as is usual with SCW i played out the raid for expand madrid was a mess despitemy good intentions the battle feels like theres no real consequence due to all your disposable infantry. the set up really hurts at ebro, the lack of any decent airforce is very problematic even with AA vet as you have little mobility to respond to a happenings around such large front.
