Thanks in advance

25 APs, though it does come with a bunch of SU's attached for "Free".

That doesnt' include the cost of firing the crappy leader it might come with, and replacing him with someone decent. I like the guys who are high Mech-rating but average otherwise, like Rybalko or Batov

I don't want to start a flame war (after all I started this thread) but... who said Soviets have tons of APs, that shifting units from command x and y is easy?? Utterly false

a small side note:

Normaly the ai attach SU for the new Tank army (which costs also some ap if you have some) and you also need some arments points to fill this unit. (e.g. if you have 50 ap points the ai spends not 25 point to create this army but so round about 30-35 or so to ccreate this army and some SU.

You also need some pints for an new leader. So all it costs you round about 40-50 ap to build one Trank Army. (excluding costs for attaching units which are not attach to STAVKA HQ)

No, no, by that time you are out of USSR generals (Stalin has shot most of them), and you need to hire British ones

I recently created a couple tank army hq's and paid only 25 points. they came with a bunch of SU that I am pretty sure I did not have to pay ap's for, but I will double check

Unlike Rifle Corps, they don't go on sale at any date

And you might have to change the leader, costing additional APs

But Tank Armies are cool

I had this. But I also have to admit that I had little bit more that 100 ap. And the first two Tank Armies cost more than 25 ap`s. But I also saw that the number of SU is not always the same. So maybe the extra Su are the difference.

Thanks
