Dear goose_2, I had noticed this as well. Do you know what has happened? Thanksgoose_2 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 11, 2018 5:16 pm I am deeply saddened by Night Phoenix's exit from the youtube community. His work is gone and this is really unfortunate as he was so close to the end and his work was a great illustration of the learning curve of this game and was a great resource for the Panzer Corps community with finding the best way to tackle difficult maps.
Yes, I have had several questions on his exit. It is sad, but something he felt was necessary to remove the temptation of trying to start recording again.PeteMitchell_2 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 5:53 amDear goose_2, I had noticed this as well.

That's great news!
That is a good idea, using Para's to seize the highly vulnerable and weakly held southern objectives should be very possible.captainjack wrote: ↑Thu Sep 20, 2018 8:15 am Last time I played Dijon, I sent a lot of troops round the left hand side and managed to block every enemy hex with a unit before bringing the flaking troops bring them against the rear the central cities in time. It's one of the few scenarios where I can make paras work, but with a bit of careful planning and good scouting the trains can be useful too. A strat bomber or two to neutralise spam hexes can also help.
I lied...I got home from my men's group and busted through the rest of Dijon...No prob's this 2nd time around...goose_2 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 20, 2018 2:18 pmThat is a good idea, using Para's to seize the highly vulnerable and weakly held southern objectives should be very possible.captainjack wrote: ↑Thu Sep 20, 2018 8:15 am Last time I played Dijon, I sent a lot of troops round the left hand side and managed to block every enemy hex with a unit before bringing the flaking troops bring them against the rear the central cities in time.

Not on Manstein unless you bring 3, but at this point I will be finishing this 2nd playthrough probably this weekend, as no time last night or tonight.
I agree Cap'n but...I am far from playing on normal settings...captainjack wrote: ↑Fri Sep 21, 2018 10:03 pm Maginot on normal settings can be good for training up new pios, paras, artillery and strat bombers (the short distances allow a Do17 to be developed to 2* for later conversion to a 217). The key is to spot the fortresses early (especially the overstrength ones) so you can plan assaults and otherwise keep out of range. I usually take avoidable casualties becuase I rush a bit too much or try to do everything instead of wiping out one sector at a time. Using methodical battle against the Maginot line is kind of ironic.
Thanks Pete...the AA question is the one that has me going back and forth the most as of late...My +3 Def 88 is boss on the battlefield , but is tricky to set up.PeteMitchell_2 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 2:29 pm Well, there are some thoughts of course, however not sure if relevant at this difficulty level and given your experience though...
I would probably stay with 8-10 infantry in total. Somua is nice but not sure how long it will last. I like Wurfrahmen for its mobility and its ability to cover armored advances at the same pace as tanks. Mobile AA and 88, well they will be helpful later on, although I prefer units that have something to do every turn. Mobile AA can follow armored advances as well...
