Good job Chris. If you keep pumping this episodes out at this rate i might not need to read the manual after all :D

JG-54, StG-1 and others names are "air-wings" kind of equivalent. For exapmple JG-54(Jagdgeschwader) is a fighter wing and KG-1(Kampfgeschwader) is a bomber wing. Fliegerkorps actually means aircorps and is attached to Luftlotte(air army).

This is really high quality as far as tutorials go. Awesome job on these!

[@mikewatty6929]

Without this I would not be able to play this game, thank you!

[@alvaro.martinez]

This is perfectly entertaining, you make this game seem easy

[@MrPhantom453]

Thanks for this. Great detail. One small point, you didn't mention/ show "mountains" when discussing terrain types. Also the advantages of entering/ exiting mountainous terrain along a railway (not sure if roads also count for this now or not?)

[@Sheltemz]

Awesome made my game much easier to understand 😀

Question on movement. What does it matter if the unit moved through swamp, hill, Mt everest or Fort? The game simulates the furthest a unit can go. Why do roads even matter? I would imagine where the counter ends or fights is the only major thing.

[@gregorybentley5707]

You don't just teleport to where you need to go, if I gave you a backpack full of supplies and gave you two days to walk as far as you can you walk a lot farther if those two days were in Open Fields or along roads then you would if you spent those two days walking along mountains or swamp, you'd be able to go a lot less further and you'd use up all your energy and supplies way earlier then you would if it was open terrain.
This was 5 months ago and you most likely didn't stick with it I assume? But I thought I'd answer anyway

[@ericlundquist3466]

@gregorybentley5707 I get that, and thanks for the reply. This is with FOW off, so in a way, that's cheating, but I was treating this as if I'm playing tabletop. (Took a long break to go back to Europa IV). At least that was my justification, lol.
So let's say it's my turn, and I have this Panzer unit that needs to go north towards Leningrad. I click it, and it highlights its total movement. There are all sorts of terrain to get there, but no matter what, the final highlight is the furthest I go, so I click.. poof I'm there. Would I use less supply if I single click each hex to follow a road north? Does the game automatically simulate the less supply, and if it doesn't simulate that , if I single click each movement hex on a road, can I go further than the initial grand movement highlight?

They made certain functions needlessly complex in my opinion.
