What joy it was doing a campaign back then ... which 48 units did you want as part of your core! Had a hard time doing a mechanized company it it had any support weapons.
That's why you used to get a few good tanks and the rest the cheapest you could afford, so that you upgrade them whenever you could.
I still do something similar some times, not for the same reason of course lol.

It wasn't really the cost I was referring to but the unit limit.
Did you dare skimp on AA? Artillery? Transport?

I simply don't remember many things about how I used to play. Although I had the games and played, I mostly played Panzer General back then and a bit of Iron Cross (this one http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/iron-cross ) for my wargaming needs, the couple hours per week I had available per month. (I was a seaman at the time) IIRC I couldn't afford to buy everything I wanted and there was a unit limit at the start of the campaign, so I had to buy cheap "useless" units to fill the limit and replace them later on. At least, that's what I remember, unless I am mixing memories with Iron Cross lol.
Oh yeah also A line in the sand (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/a-line-in-the-sand ) but that was mostly before SP was released)
