Hello there.

Just started to play Iron Cross as the Germany. But I need some advice and help please.

I got several questions and I hope someone will answer them, my questions may be FAQ but I think this will help alot other people.

How shall I combine my divisions? 3 divisons with artillery? Or is it in armageddon where some brigades just was worth nothing?

Should I build intercespers? Or just make several Static AA since those should be very good?? How much do they attack the airfract with?

As Germany should I conquer spanin, hungary, Bulgarian, and Romanian? Or just make them my allies and use there divisions?

How much is Tac and CAS bomber worth? Should I make them or not?

My last question which is really the most important is this:
When fighting Sovjet I always run dry of manpower, and lose strengh ofacuse, this is my main probem..... How can I defeat them, at least to the bitter peace? I think fighting sovjet is now in Iron cross pretty tough. If someone got a "How to kick sovjet ass" manual pleas share it.
How much inf and panzer should I have at juni 1941?



These is my questions, and I surely hope someone will help me. Espically with my sovjet question.

Regards Gornak

I am playing Iron Cross on AoD, Germany 33 Campaign, so my advice is for this combination.

I add rocket artillery to all my inf-divisions, they are much better than regular artillery. As I always run out of manpower and production is not the problem I think adding brigades to all divisions is worth it.

I never build static AA, but a few stacks (about 5) of 4xINT with the proper doctrines they are enough to win air superiority.

For Spain, Hungary, ... I think you can do as you like. I never Allied with them and when i puppeted them I didnt use their troops except for beach-guards.

For Airforce, I recommend building some NAVs as they can annihilate an invasion force nocking on your beaches. CAS is considerably stronger than TAC and has quite a good effect against enemy troops that are not dug in. I always build quire a few CAS - as I have nothing else to build. But they are not essential.

SU is totally easy. As they have extreme negative modifieres until their great patriotic war event happens you can beat them with almost anything.
Destroy their army in some Kessels at the border and than run for Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad, Swerdlowsk and Baku.
I use LArm+Eng for these quick expoit moves. Its usually only about 3 month till Bitter Peace.

Playing from the Armageddon.

Thank you steiner for the adcive!
But let me ask you. do you not use fighters or medium/heavy Art?
And how many divisions should I have when I attack the Sovjets?

Can you try to me alittle more specific about how to make a successfull attack on sovjet?
