[@mathewwright5699]

I beat it by NOT withdrawing to a new line. I did convert all divs to infantry to hold better, also got rid of some extra divs on the eastern front to free up equipment. Then prioritizing guns then planes. Any time I got a surplus of guns I would add battalions to the inf division template to get them to 40W. Also kept about 10 mils on tanks that I only used to repel the Allie’s. After you stabilize the eastern front it’s not too hard to beat the soviets. But the key is repelling the Allie’s, eventually they do stop invading. Was a fun mod but good luck to anyone attempting!

[@Trex1n]

It seems to me that one of the reasons you were having supply problems with the tanks is that you didn’t motorize the supply for your tank army

Man, I wish I understood more of this game. I enjoy it, but out of the dozens of scenarios I've tried, I've only achieved my goals in one. I feel like most of my problem comes from division templates. Economy-wise, things usually go pretty smoothly, and I have a lot of equipment stocked up, but I just never can seem to do well with my divisions.

[@Bitt3rSteel]

You can do it!

[@catfacecat.]

​@@Bitt3rSteelgood advice lol. But that ain't gonna improve my skill.

[@Haha__]

Division templates are the easiest thing in the game. For infantry division, just use 10 Infantry Battalions (20 width) and add artillery, engineer support company. This division will perform well against anything in single player. For tank division, make 40 width, 10 tank battalions and 10 motorised infantry. Add artillery, engineer, logistics and other preferred support companies. The most important stat in tanks is Breakthrough; maximise breakthrough stat in tank designs and use Mobile Warfare doctrine for the breakthrough buffs. Use meta fighter designs and get air supremacy, which will boost your breakthrough even more. I learned the game by watching Bittersteels 'Ultimate Germany' tutorial and following in-game exactly as he did. From there I kept playing and learning new mechanics. After a few games it will feel very easy. I wish I understood less of this game, cause when you know all the stats it feels very shallow and too easy lol. Enjoy the challenge while its still there

[@ew264]

@@Haha__ 21 width infantry with 9 inf, 1 arty is better for most. The combat width system was reworked and you no longer have to stay on numbers divisible by 10 to be meta. Back in the day any template which wasnt 20, 30 or 40 width was horrible but nowadays 21 and 24 width are more meta. If you have massive manpower such as soviet or japan 30 width with 2 arty, 12 inf is worth it as it will demolish most other inf. For marines you go 30 width with 4 arty, 9 inf and engineers obv. Generally you can go a slightly highhr amount of tanks than you recomend in your tank divs. For example 11 tanks, 9 motorized or even 12 tanks, 8 motorized if you have alot of doctrine. The motorized is only there to raise organization and the doctrines (primarily mobile warfare in the case of tanks) raise org so much that it will reduce the amount of motorized needed. I also wouldnt recomend engineers for tanks as they improve defense and amphibious invasions and tanks shouldnt be used for either of those. For tanks you should go maintenance, arty and logistics as tanks drain supply extremely fast.

[@Haha__]

@@ew264 I used to main 21 width 9/1s and they performed well, but I prefer 20 widths now. The 9/1s are very expensive in artillery plus you lose some defense and org swapping out the infantry for arty. Really it's all up to personal preference, it doesn't matter in singleplayer. That's the freedom of the game that makes it so good

[@alextonev3017]

This was quite hard but definitely not very hard, all you have to do is 3 speed micro the soviet front slowly retreating the Soviet hordes, while pushing out the occasional day with the 4 tanks on the western front. Eventually because the Soviets have 9mil deployed manpower they attrition themselves out of supply and equipment, then you encircle and kill them. Didn’t even have to retreat back to the river line. I think you should try the 1944 version of the mod, it is definitely a lot harder but quite similar strategy to what I just described works, it is just marginally more difficult.
