ORIGINAL: john lawton ALSO the Germans seem to have very few security units - 4 not counting the axis allies... There should be more than that. Off the top of my head (I'm at work now) the Germans start with 6 SEC Divs (2 for each RHG HQ), and there are several that arrive as reinforcements. The Axis Allies provide quite a few SEC Bdes/Divs as well. Some more tips here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3011623 Controlled properly, partisans are little more than a minor nuissance. I rarely have any major issues, to the point where it's almost disappointing. I thought the partisan 'problem' was an actual problem, not one that can be easily controlled. Here's what I do: 1. Keep a large number of Construction Bns in OKH and AG HQs. They will help with normal Rail Repair, and also partisan blown lines. 2. Carefully watch city garrison requirements. Break down SEC Divs as most cities only need 1 Rgt. Some will need 2. I don't think any city needs a full SEC Div. The Germans have some independent Inf and LW Feld Rgts that can help garrison as well. Front line units can garrison cities near the front while on R&R. Axis Allies provide lots of SEC units. Additionally, a number of Allied non-SEC Bdes are also good for bolstering garrisons. The 2 Rumanian Fort Infantry Bdes are good early war garrison units. 3. Use a handfull of Cav units to chase around partisan counters. You only need to move adjacent to them, and the partisans die. If you can't directly see partisan units, click on the 'Show Battles' button. This will show blown rail lines. Where there are blown lines, there are partisan units. Find the partisans in those areas. YOu don't even need a lot of Cav units on hunting duties, as the city garrison units can usually reach partisans within 2 turns. Once the partisan unit is dead, just move the garrison back to its city. 4. When your FBD Rail Repair counters get near the front in late 1941, direct them north/south to create alternate supply routes, so that if a rail line is severed, supply still goes via another line. You can't eliminate partisans, but with a redundant supply net, blown lines are temporarily irrelevant.
