New to LaResistance

[MR2]

It's been almost a year and PDX had a pretty good sale so I decided now was the time to get LaR. I play Fascist Germany, Single Player, and use my knowledge of history to my advantage. It is war after all.

Most of my HOI study this past year has been in the realm of optimizing my economic build up in order to most effectively achieve global domination. I've started searching the forum for relevant Threads, reread the Wiki, and I'm slogging my way through Reman's video.

My questions to this august body are:
- What other videos or posts do you recommend that I pay particular attention too?
- What TTP (tactics, techniques, procedures) have you applied to achieve greater success?
- When should I start spending precious PP on Intelligence vs growing the economy/infrastructure?
- Which branches are more important early game vs middle/late game?
- Same question with Operations vs Cryptology.
- Good strategies regarding Operatives?
- Most importantly, which questions did I not know to ask?

For now, my overriding goal, as Germany, is to steal plans for the NZ Matilda in order to reach Moscow in a week and Vladivostok in a month! How's that for an achievement!

Thank you all.

If you play with min-max approach, there's nothing else you should be doing with your agents than colab government missions to get compliance in Poland, France, USSR and any other fairly industrialized/resource rich patch of the map you plan to conquer. These missions alone will take few years to complete. If you pursue this path, since you need 5 upgrades of the agency for the extra operative asap, it's good to invest only in cryptology upgrades, as you won't be really doing any other missions than colab gov, and decrypting cyphers is a feature running in parallel to operations.
If you wanna role play it, however, then good luck with Matilda Moscow drive, sounds fun

Just dont use it if you whant a little challenge. Dont need them really. I always kill all allies (England is just a mild annoyance if left alive) then focus up panzer army to 24 40 with medium tank divisions (u can rush Panther) use them in center use airforce there and russia is dead^^. War over 1943 with historic start (no austria rush)
