I've only done this one awhile ago as the Germans (ok, a fair while ago)... avoid being tempted to dive in at Mogilev, Vitebsk and Orsha. In my opinion, the Panzer/motorized units that you have are much more valuable when crossing the river and driving past. I suppose the idea is to cut the Soviets off, and leave the towns (in those case some major ones for the size of the map), for your infantry (which I think arrives a little later on). IIRC the situation is that, as the Germans you get a few of your mobile units that enter from the start of the game ... and it is probably very tempting to try to take on everything at once.. don't do it. |
