- buy an AT gun platoon or 2 (with trucks or SP-ATG). Useful in both the attack and especially the defence.

Interesting and very useful info, usually I buy infantry and armor (including armored cars) first and then the support units like Arty, AT, Recon, etc.

I see that you do it that way so the first purchased units will be easier to locate on the HQ screen, is there any other reason?

On the other hand, what type of units I should not pick for my core?

Thanks in advance
