In my campaigns I've always played with it on. I played with it on in my first pbem but my previous two opponents turned it off.

I'm really confused as to what is the most fair setting to both players and I really want feedback from the experienced pros as to what you feel is the best setting. If you don't know what it does it makes your troops cost more to purchase based on their experience.

If it's off then a German player has a pretty big advantage over another player since troops cost the same no matter what the experience. However at the same time if it's on then the Russians can buy a bazillion troops since they are so much cheaper due to the lack of experience.

How does everyone feel on this? It seems a rather important setting in PBEM games so I'm looking for as much feedback as possible.

Thanks.

I play with true troop on and country characteristics on as well, I feel with true troop on you get advantages and disadvantages. If you play with true troop off but counrty on the Russian and the US have a big advantage IMO. I actually play with everything on except CC

With True troop on you will pay more for recon or elite units and less for secondline troops.
This is an important consideration if you also play with command control on.

If your opponent buys a lot of airborne or elite (SS) units and insists on True Troop off, he is getting better units at bargain prices.
