Put parachute regiment on one of the infantry units for Crete, give him 3 stacks if possible and parachute him into the northwest airport in turn 2 or so. Sometimes it'll prevent student and his gang from dropping and will have to take the sea route, giving you time to react and a much easier way to kill them. If student kills your paratrooper and occupied the airport, then probably just restart. I just finished both. For Operation Mercury the Southern central city is a huge priority so you can replenish Messe and Bock, then you will have enough firepower to take Heraklion. For Battle Of Crete, I bought Tito, as there isn't really any difference between middle tier infantry generals, and Tito has some hittin' skills. I just finished Operation Winter Storm for Allies, but i'm having trouble with Winter War. In Winter War, Ignore the south, move everyone to the North, build an L38 AT gun as reinforcements to help Helsinki, and then use your paratroopers reinforcements to take the final southern (undefended) airport on turn 18 |

You should not ignore the South because taking the factory there lowers the enemy's morale and if Mannerheim dies, you and all your allies suffer a morale drop. |

I fared perfectly fine with that with level one infantry tech and (stupid me) only for special forces a maxed Suwalska Cavalry that I can't evn use in this mission. I had done no star campaigns and was still grinding for Guderian. |

L M A O, I actually don't know what it really stands for, I use it as a sort of "heh-heh." apparently, google says it is "Laughing My Autocorrected off." You usually here it in video games with an open playerbase. I think the word's been twisted lol has been though, to make it a bit more neutral |

It only took me two tries to do Typhoon because I was not able to take Kashira in time on the first try. I hope not. I stopped with the campaign and started doing Army Group as German army group A. It was surprisingly easy to overrun Paris, and I know have all of France at round 28 (besides ports). I swear I would still be defending Paris and Strasbourg if it wasn't for Spy, False Intelligence, Forced March, Manstein, and my allies who actually took care of themselves. Nevertheless, I sent Rundstedt to Poland because I was dissatisfied at Army Group D's progress. I was able to take neutral Lithuania in 2 rounds as well |

It is not worth the income. |

It is not worth the income. welp, too late for that. Besides, by that time Second Polish army was forced into corner. I was at the spearhead of the attack while there were two Army Group D divisions right behind me. I didn't really have a choice not to invade Lithuania. It was my only way out...also I didn't lose a single unit fighting. I piled onto them at Kaunas, and after that it was cleanup. |
