are there any player/tester made notes about the game on the net?
i remember having lots of very useful pages printed out for toaw.
or are here any experienced players that would like to share their thoughts?

KeunertCommanderPosts : 2364 Joined: 22 MAR 2006 Status : Offline | i may have to rethink my opinion about this title. the french campaigns really hard so far. these frogs stop me already in the ardennes... so if you have any hints how you made it to dunkirk, let me know.

Use your air for interdiction in the beginning not for attacking. Also build large stacks of artillery. This is key, and also a bit gamey, as you can bombard with these and cause LOTS of casaulities. You can whittle down big units with no loss to youself. Just make sure you only attack with the ranged units otherwise you will lose a lot of artillery assaulting. [] When I first started playing this title I was very frustrated with my progress through the Ardennes too. It is really a slow go until you breach the line. I usually ended up breaching the river line at the North West corner of the forrest for some reason. Once you do get through it really opens up as there are few quality reserves.

They will build a line somewhere but it's better if they build it near the edge of the woods as opposed to deep in the woods. If you can breakthrough in Belguim and France at around the same time then you can really bag a lot of troops. Don't forget to build those artillery stacks. You can make 3-4 huge ones and concentrate them to really weaken your opponent at the point of attack!
