As you old timers know, I wrote a tactics guide that Fabio Prado has kindly posted at: http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/spwaw_downloads.htm

Now that 7.1 is out I want to think about updating it. Some things that immediately come to mind:
-changes in engineer units to limit the number of FTs
-Infantry seems more vulnerable to direct fire when in the open (at least to me)

How will 7.1 effect your buying of core forces, general battle forces and your tactics? Post if you have anything to share and I will put good suggestions/comments in the guide with attribution to you.

Thanks to Matrix for giving us SPWaW and thanks to you fans for supporting Matrix!

I ran a comparison on buying core and support forces for the start of Russian Steel.

These are very limited, tentative results so please take them for what they are: 1) The T-34 m.41 company cost a little more - 830 instead of 810 points. But the GAZ-4M-AA (truck mounted quad-30's) are way cheaper. So are medium trucks. (All this for the Soviets - haven't yet purchased for ay other nation.)

Bottom line was I got 6 X motocycle squds I didn't have before, more medium trucks and a LOT more AA units - all for the same 1800 + 400.

I think Paul mentioned the cheaper units are supposed to be even less expensive than they were before. That's what I found.
