Status: offline 		How many units do Germans need to garrison in Poland to prevent heightened SU belligerence? And where do they have to be? I took a look at scripts but couldn't locate it. Thanks.

All of the USSR triggers are there. If it isn't there, then there isn't one.

Status: offline 		Which type of bomber do you buy first as Germany (or any other country for that matter)? Mediums seem to be better at reducing entrenchment but take pretty heavy casualties when I launch strikes with them. Tac bombers seem to be better at killing off strength points. Is one of them preferred?

Status: offline 		With the developement of GA 2 there`s no longer a difference in deentrenchement between both types. It`s possible to extend Germany`s force pool by buying all available tac. bombers (as well as med. tanks) before the DAK arrives; assuming you`ll never lose any of them

Med. bomber`s strength is especially usefull in fighting enemy`s planes given their advanced range.

Great info. So you often use med bombers to hit enemy air force? Is it better to hit enemy planes with fighter, medium, tac, or strategic bombers?

Status: offline 		In general it`s best to attack bombers with fighters and fighters with bombers, except they are dug in, in which case I`d prefer using a bomber for deentrenchement at first. Any plane that`s attacked by a bomber at first will be easily finished off by any other plane, especially if you priorized air research.

Germany`s priority is to develope LR after arty- and subs lvl 1 finished, therefore tac. bombers and fighters usually won`t be able to reach enemy planes during the early stage of war. In this case med. bombers are the only ones to reach their position, if placed well.

Status: offline 		I'm seriously considering purchasing this game. However, a couple of things give me pause like the above " it's best to attack fighters with bombers". This doesn't make sense to me if it's air to air combat, but it does if the poster means ground attacking an airbase.
Thanks for any clarification.

How do you know which hexes are partisan hexes and need to be garrisoned? Does garrisoning mean having a unit _in_ the hex? Or just next to the hex? Thanks.

Do you mean that you prioritize long range plane research over things like tank and infantry war research? Probably not right?

3.6.27. Partisan Locations
To view where Partisan activity can be expected,
pressing the ‘P’ key on your keyboard will show
all likely partisan trigger points, though only for
countries that are currently at war.
To prevent Partisans from appearing it will
suffice to have a unit in either that hex or an
adjacent one.
Note, regular Partisan logos indicate partisans
that will be added to the map while those shown
with a red circle and a line through them represent
locations where Partisans will only reduce the
strength of resources.

Not usually, unless you're trying to do something funky (e.g. it may be more of a priority if planning for a Sea Lion)

Yeah that's me who did that...

Not having played through as Axis from the beginning, I didn't know there was a scripted even for taking Denmark and executed a brilliant invasion plan...

So will I have to manually take Norway as well?

Status: offline 		Norway also has a script. There was a pretty good topic about the pro's and cons about doing it manually. (can't find it atm)
The main reason for the script is that it's very easy for the allies to prevent a Norway invasion as it's no surprise when you will attempt it.
In return for the MPP investment you get some units and an "easy" invasion.
It makes the game "flow" a lot better as the main battles are in France, Africa and Russia anyway.

When will the Fall of France scripted event come up?
