Here’s my order of battle (OOB) for Operation Typhoon, or “Rush to Moscow” as OKW has unofficially dubbed it. OKW saw fit to give me an additional core unit, the 42nd Mountain SE and have loaned me (i.e., attached units) 9 Wehrmacht and 1 Grenadier infantry, 1 armor (Pz IIIj), 2 ground artillery and 1 TAC (37th Ju 87B) units. That’s 14 attached units added to support 29 deployable cores units.
I have 1896 prestige points for which to upgrade, reinforce or commission additional units. My first priority is to ensure that I have adequate air defenses for my forces. One area I feel lacking in is in supporting flak units. To date, I haven’t commission any. So I decided to commission 2 additional core units, the 43rd and 44th 8.8cm Flak units, which gives me a total of 34 core units, to augment my 4 fighter (5th, 15th, 47th and 48th) and 1 fighter/TAC (4th) unit.
The game tells me that I have 29 units deploy and shows that I have 31+3 (=34) core units in reserve. I’m not sure exactly how many I can deploy (29 or 31?), which means that I’ll either have 5 or 3 units in reserve (i.e., can’t deploy). I assume I’ll soon find out.
Anyway, the two new 8.8cm flak units, which by the way are very effective in anti-tank and anti-personnel roles, cost me a total of 688 prestige points leaving me with 1208 points. I use them, hopefully wisely, to upgrade all fighters to the latest ME BF109F model, reinforce all air units with elite replacements and upgrade all Panzer units, not already fitted with the IVF tanks, to IVF. I then use the remaining prestige points to reinforce units above 10-steps where possible. In a number of cases this was done after units were brought up to full strength (i.e., 10-steps) using raw recruits, which reduced the units experience level.
With my OOB for Operation Typhoon set, it’s time to deploy my forces.
