Status: offline 		Hello everyone I am a new player to War in the East. Finally after reading the manual and playing some of the small scenarios I have decided to start a full campaign as the Germans. I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice (macro and micro) to help me develop an efficient strategy to crush the soviets.

Thank you

I suggest reading Pelton as he describes what he does in detail, and he is one of the best German players here.

Here is the link to my latest best of...

And AARs, and lots of hands on playing to get a feel for how much to attack what with, what works and what doesn't, etc

Status: offline 		Well, where do you start. What the other posters have said is all good stuff and :

1. Use admin points to replace dud commanders
2. Re assign units from OKH and Army to Corp if in combat.
3. Rationalise your Airbases
4. Bomb the crap out of the Soviets.
5. Bomb a HQ or Airbase before you over run them
6. Check production to see what you are short of and if possible disband appropriate support units
7. Fear nothing in the first 18 weeks
8. Don't feel guilty about taking advantage of the AI as it cheats.
9. keep your HQs within 5 mps? of combat units
10. When the dust settles keep airbases on railways lines
11. Try to understand how supply works.
12. At all times try to isolate the opposition ie SP = -1 and then attack. A unit that is isolated and surrenders suffers far higher losses than one that is supplied and surrenders/shatters.

Then I just started playing.

I play the Soviets on "Road to" scenarios.

One of these days I'll learn how to attack. (sigh)
