Default Here\'s what I started out with

Ok, here's what I started out with. I've played 3 scenarios in the LC and got 2 marginal and 1 decisive victory. I usually divide most of the units into a north, center and south group and throw the pioneers in the group that looks like it will have the toughest going. I get some Stukas and heavy artillery with the supplemental points. I feel like the most useful thing now would be something to quickly mow down the hundreds of thousands of Polish infantry and calvary squads that seem to come at me every scenario.

15 PzKw III b/d (s) tanks (3 groups of 5)
12 PzKw IVb tanks (3 groups of 4)
6 SdKfz 222 armored cars (2 groups of 3)
12 infantry units (3 groups of 4)
4 pioneer units (1 group of 4)
3 MMG unts
16 SdKfz 251/1 halftracks
3 3.7 cm PaK AT guns w/transport
4 8.8 cm Flak guns w/transport
2 scout units
2 snipers

The last time I saved it looked like I was going to be heading into an assault scenario and the supplemental points went way up. Any suggestions on changing my core? Or maybe what to buy with the extra points for an assault scenario? Boy, I had forgotten how addictive this is! I've already lost track of the time one evening and ended up playing till 3 am and was worthless at work the next morning...

Have you used a lot of indirect MG fire? Especially in behind any massed charge. You have lots of MG's over 20 when you include your Company of Infantry with its Halftracks. In Poland HT's can be used within reasonable range. IF the Poles armour is dealt with shut off the main guns of your armour and having their MG's join the fray will help too. (Remember to turn the Main Guns on afterwards)

As for an assault at this period lots of pioneers and artillery some large calibre but make sure you have smaller calibre with smoke capability. Ensure the support units make the initial assaults and give them good smoke coverage. I also like to have a Motorcycle Platoon or two to go though once the minefields etc are breached and lead the way and recce the objectives.

As for the addiction, welcome to Club buddy!!
