This is mostly going to be rambling nonsense, but there is a point to it, sort of. I'll copy over my post from elsewhere in the forums first: On a whim, I started up the GC again.
I lost my save when I moved on to a new computer way back when. I just finished , I was taking in some tips from the tips topic and elsewhere on the forums. I'm also trying to not get so hung up on decisive victories in later scenarios, because the Grand Campaign is really good in allowing 'marginals' to count as victories anyway, with the decisives only really influencing certain battles thankfully. So, at Poznan I checked the initial starting group and it was: 2x Infantry, 1x Mountaineers, 2x awful tanks 1x Fighter, 1x Tactical Bomber 1x Arty 1x Anti-tank 1x Recon I think my initial three purchases were, an extra artillery, an extra recon and a Strategic bomber.
I added an 8. I organised my units into battle groups: An infantry, Arty, Tank, Anti-Tank or 88 and the group that goes without the 88 has the fighter for air cover. The campaign throws a lot of free units at you, so there's seldom a need to add to the core imo. Anyway, two recons are a god-send, because suddenly I'm not charging into things blindly or taking risks.
I tended to use just the one in the past, but now I can get very good coverage. More if I can use Recon Rudel, though I'm trying to babysit him for obvious reasons. Had a heart attack when in one scenario he got ganked by an AA and two fighters and had to limp home at 2hp My opinion might change when I get to Russia. I distinctly remember recon getting wiped out easily at that period of time, but I hope to champion their cause.
