What is the best brigade for inf, and a quick combat question

Did you actually try that method? Having 12 x INF, 3 ARMs for back-up and defence while running interdiction with TACs... Look, it's a tried method before. It's a few versions back, but there's no way that it's going to be of any use. Besides, your supply /hurts/, you're still vulnerable, and there aren't any places to sufficiently use rails anyway - even in MP. Finally... just bombing them with STRs, or even TACs are still a hell lot more effective than arty bombing.

Admittedly it might work. But it takes way too much preparation, and there are other more efficient methods out there; there's no reason to do it other than for flavour effects.


Also, you should never, never build up a SP-ART brigaded Infantry force. The oil is not worth it, seriously.

Maginot Line and other forts...works pretty good..and yes...it took months to carry all the super heavy artillery to Sevastopol...60cm Mortar karl, various railway guns inclusing the 80cm Gustav, all the 21cm and 24 cm heavy field artillery pieces and other heavy mortars etc etc...

It would be totally off anyways as Infantry Divisions (at least german ones) never had self propelled artillery...this equipment was assigned to Panzer Divisions and Pz.Grd.Divisions

IMO that work's great

Art bombing the Maginot Line can save you the trouble of occupying the Low countries, which can become great trade partners.
