Invasions: stage or all at once?

15K CASH!!!!

Mobilize, let each city with a Barracks do one turn of production, and rush the rest.

All non-barracks cities build Arty... they ARE defensive. Consider that an unfortified MI on a mountain attacked by a vet Tank has 13% chance of getting destroyed, whereas against a reg Tank (which is the effect of the free Arty shot), the chance declines to 8%.

And then the Arty are used during your turn to cut off road access and damage any threatening units.

you peeked. In my play style, I like to have 10-20K in modern age. Why so much? 1) military reserves, can hurry units if needed, and 2) to hurry improvements to get new territory cities improved to wealth.

I hate having too many arty. 20 is a lot for me.

COMBAT SETTLER-- great concept. Needed that to reduce by one turn invasion on hostile continent.

Careful AI will also use cruise missiles against your navy.

How do your mixed armies work? {Tank+MI} I just started playing with armies and have not tried mixed armies yet. I can see the advantage of Tank2+MI1 but not Tank2+MI2 and especially not MI4. It seems like the value of armies is more in offense than defense.

ESPECIALLY in your invasion, defensive armies would have been of great benefit. It seems to have a morale effect on the AI in that they are less eager to attack it, KNOWING that they will lose so many units before they can take it out.

Consider how many defensive units you would not have lost if you had armies involved. That's what the Military Academy is for. Once I have built it, it is churning out armies, to be filled as needed.

Just started using armies. I did not use armies in primary landing zones as I heard units heal faster if not in army. Thus, 4 Mech Inf heal 4 HP/turn but army of 4 MechInf only heals 1HP/turn. Huh, not sure if this matchs play experience. I am going to have to watch closer. Biggest disadvantage of army is it is all or nothing at the end. You don't just lose one unit, but entire army. I think better design would have been at final red HP to lose unit by unit in army until last unit lost removes army also.

I had about 8 armies and they came over on the second wave.

Isn't it great to see that build item:
army [4 turns]


In posted game had 4 armies of 0 units waiting for panzer technology before loading units. Hard to believe I used to play with ZERO armies. Big mistake.

I only got about 5 turns beyond that. If you would like a post DDay image I can get one also. Currently, DDay+5, I have 5 cities on hostile continent in five different locations. 3/5 have airports for receiving reinforcements.
