I am on my fifth 1939 campaign with the Axis. I have found that getting elite units, especially ship and air, is very difficult. If you don't have 11 points, and you lose one level from partisans shooting down your medium bombers?, the new replacements water down the whole experience pool, and it is very difficult to make them elite. So, partisans shooting down bombers, and sinking battleships, hot topics for another thread, but losing the experienced crews from small arms fire, is very annoying. Abstractly, we could assume that it's just the cost of doing war, but even losses should teach units something. Yeah?
I would just like to propose that elite replacements are always available.
A modification to just making them twice the cost could be a trained force pool based on an MMP and logistics. For every 10 MMP per turn you get one trained point, somehow modified by logistics, to rebuild units. Or not. I saw something like that in another game, I thought was pretty cool.
I just think that the Panzer general style formations should use the same Panzer general style replacement options.
