Jordon: The PDF manual which is located within the SC-BlitzKireg directory also has a good starting point explanation including pictures of how to start a good Blitzkrieg strategy until France and then its up to you. Here are a few additional tips: If you decide to declare war on another nation (within Maps) make sure you troops are ready, don't declare war until your ready and in place. Make sure you take care of your research (max 750 points) and in particular production, technology, tanks etc... Plan your war strategy way in advance, for example I am planning to invade Yugo and Bulgaria so after taking Poland I am moving one army, one Corp a Stuga squadron and an artillery unit near the border to Hungary, while the rest of my units move towards France and I am also preparing 2 para units to take Danemark and Norway, while the main force gets ready for Belgium/France. You will need a lot of point to upgrade and increase your army to take on Russia, which is a monster. Most of all have fun.

thanks for the info on the brits (theri navy is sure a pain), but right now I play the AI and Sealion is taking too long and too many points for Paratroopers and ships, which delays the russian campaign. My strategy will be fortify the french cities with a few Anti air unit and corps occupying the cities and move everything else to the east, because Russia is the real monster and I need air, tactical bombers, artillery, paratroopers and good tanks to crush the Bolshevist. My plan will be 3 HQ, One under Bock attacking North towards Leningrad (St. Petersburg), one under Manstein attacking towards Minsk-Moscow route and one under Rundstedt attacking the southern flank towards Odessa, Stalingrad. The russians have superior tanks in the beginning to I will use my upgraded Stukas to take care of them before attacking with my tanks and Army units. Leningrad must fall fast so I am bombing the heck out of them and then attack with one tank and 3 army groups to take it within 2 turns. wish me luck, I need it because the russians have huge resources and will pumb out numbers soon.

25% cheaper is definately worth it at lvl 5. Even in the beginning units cost soo much and you need to build up for Barbarossa, so every bit cheaper units count for me.

I have been playing WaW and I always out of purchase points, for upgrades new units or research. Can anybody give me a tip how to maximize the points and maybe I am wasting the on unessesary research. Tried a Sealion manoever last night and got anihilated since I didnt have enough paratroopers, Trying to cross the channel with all thoose brits warships was suicide.

Thanks for the info. I havent looked at the PT (Pacific Theatre) yet,, since I enjoy land battles more, especially Barbarossa, the huge battles in vast Russia, thats were the war is won and lost. If Operation Sea Lion is a bust, how much of a pain will the brits be, once I am fully engaged in Russia? I am thinking of leaving Afrika alone and have the Italians just fortify the main cities and hold on, while I concentrate all forces in Russia. Will see how it goes. I love these type of games.

Hi all, I just bought this game and love it. I am playing WaW. I do have a question before I realy dig into a campaign. Since Germany doesnt have a lot of points, I am hestitante to spent them on faster troop transport, so it takes me a little longer to get to the hot spots and maybe my time table gets thrown a bit because of it. Also it looks like Amry units are darn good, Corps not soo good so far. How about Para troops, engineers, anti tank, artillery worth the purchase, or should I just mainly focus on HQ, Army, Tanks and fighter/bomber combo? Thanks for any tip.
