Rule 5: And this one is called "the unblinking eye" And finally the "paddling of the swollen Axis, with paddles"

But it's ok they ask nicely to please recycle the box.

R5: I don't know how to win wars like that I don't know what templates to use.

Just kidding, for my latest Barbarossa I use 120 divisions of 10 INF, 3 ART, 1 AA, 1 AT with support engineers, art, recon, signal, and hospital to do the heavy lifting. I do have 12 medium and 6 light tank divisions who are busy in the South (the only terrain that isnt mud, marsh, or forest) just outside the first screenshot. There is 1 Heavy in the center but it got stuck in the mud despite my best efforts not to have that happen (it never stops raining in 1941. In 42 and 43 you at least get some dry months in August/September).

The 100-150 Soviet Divisions that formed the North and Center of their line before the war are now 9 thanks, with 1.4million for 19k casualties of my own in 10 days. Another 80 Soviet Divisions by Romania were used to grease the treads of our tanks in the coming days, and by the time we had basically won and dug in for the winter its 3.9million for 40k.

As for designs, most of them are what the game gives you for free that I make some quick and easy tweaks to for the basics and carry that forward with the improved frames.

Now I'm not saying you should use my designs because they are the best or anything because they are not. But I like them, they work, and nothing I do as Germany is done if it wont help me win a quick and decisive Barbarossa.

This is also a continuation of my earlier post where I destroyed the Royal Navy in June 1940 using the historic Kriegsmarine fleet, I'm doing a long war with no collaborations or early wins, which I highly recommend you try if you're bored with capping the Allies early as Germany.

Edit for clarity: I did not capitulate the Allies which is what I mean when I say no early win. I destroyed the Royal Navy and RAF in mid 40 to not be bothered but I am limiting myself by needing to build a ton of refineries for rubber and garrisoning everything. Also this is using economy of conquest but once I threatened Sweden and take Baku plus the refineries was enough for Autarky.
