ORIGINAL: TulliusDetritus What I don't understand is this: shouldn't you keep some tank brigades as support for your infantry (one per army, for example)? [;)] Are you sure this does not make sense? I would say infantry without some tanks is what doesn't make sense... After all, the Tank Corps you'll be creating will NOT be spreaded but concentrated... Am I missing something? And I am thinking about 1942: a D E F E N S I V E campaign... No one is thinking about taking Berlin on 1942, but about securing Moscow, Leningrad and avoiding the destruction of the Red Army... These are the real Soviet objectives. You are better off sticking a tank battalion in each Army HQ for this purpose. As the war progresses, tank brigades become progressively less useful. To the point where I eleminate them entirely by 44, save for a handful of guards tank brigades. I believe in an aggressive defense and am always looking for counterattacking possibilities and amass a very substantial mobile force by summer of 42 for this purpose. Wherever the panzers go, so do these mobile reserves go. I actually welcome limited German breakthroughs in selected sectors in order to string out the panzers, fatigue them, bring them out in the open, and bash them to pieces. This, to my way of thinking, is far more effective in the long run than simply building a maginot line across the entire front.
