Obviously you adapt strategy to opponent (vs Lehr you push) but generally the infinite avail, income curve, and access to early mediums/AEC lets you slowly push the entire frontline at once in different areas. This isn't a deck for making an armored fist, it's a deck for slowly advancing across the entire map.

Well obviously tank availability and motorized m5 halftrack infantry are their advantages. If you dont like these two things then this div is maybe not for you but other then that there s nothing wrong with this design.
With the 15 scots you get a few super (slow) tanks with 15 armor. And with Guards you get lots of shermans and or cromwells.You can also transport your troops in bulletproof halftracks and get them further and faster before unloading. Plus the one star vetted fireflies of course. They are a ton better then unvetted challengers.

I'll keep at the Guards though. I don't feel 1st Polish has the same level of impact that the Guards have though, if I was to compare the two. The resources that Guards have is a huge boon to their economy, Phase B Fireflies are actually pretty good, and Tempests are just great. Not to mention the Cromwell VIIs.. I just wish I had more of them.
Actually, I want to see some of your replays with this deck vs good players, because m5 halftrack with bren group is not good choice, and mot rifles is very bad for infantry fights.
same as in post above I want to see replays with that "great" slow advance across the entire map lol.
yes cuz everybody have Sexton. I am using 75 howitzer on my 101st Airborne, but even, i hit it one time, he just pull it off, cuz those howitzers are firing everywere but 88. . .
Yeah, i'm not sure how that really works- the cromwell is not particularly hard to deal with except en masse. Axis has plenty of tools for that in most of their decks.
Poles just feel like a variation on guards, shuffling a couple things around without changing anything. It's pretty much the exact same look, very similar problems and matchups.
Not against 2-star, triple-star German tanks with ROF bonuses from Vet. I swear, the acc and ROF bonuses are too much on top of stress-reduction. You can really see it once tank warfare starts, even when you get the jump on them.
i just wanna ask if we can see or if its possible to see Jumbos with 76 upgrade? :I
That would probably be the least interesting way to buff 3rd armored.
On top of the cost inefficiency of the allied tanks it's pretty rough when the axis divisions get into their good phases.
Jumbo is already OOTF(in that it never saw combat in Normandy, as it existed and was shipped to England in timeframe), but all of the Jumbos were made with the 75mm gun. All 76mm Jumbos were conversions.
They definitely need it. After a quick inspection of the Cromwell VII though they don't even seem to be in the timeframe....
They shouldn't exist in this game if they didn't fight in Normandy. I am trying to find its earliest implementation. I haven't found anything before '45. If they did fight in Normandy then yeah, they could use some love.
Because i dont think it did. It was something I was suprised to see if honest.
Rename MK Vw and make it a recon tank lol xD
Yeah they should probably do that considering they wanted to stay historical to the time frame....
So that means the only cromwell is AV 7 then?
It makes me want to swap them more with AEC, which would likely be cheaper with better front armor lol. As the AEC is 125 and in recon tax mode (while others pay like, 20 points for recon) so in the support possibly 105 or 110. Then you have AEC with better front armour for less ^^
