Thanks for continuing the guide, it’s a perfect tool for beginners, and a useful way to improve skills!!!

Russia is up.

[Hepps]

@redrum Well written. Really covers the challenges facing Russia well.

[CrazyG]

I really like how you mentioned buying artillery or tanks. I see newer players only building infantry (NWO style) which gives Germany way too much freedom.

[Hepps]

@redrum At some point... once you are done all the nations it might be helpful to reorganize them by either; turn order, or faction. Or both.

EG.

Germany
Japan
Italy

Russia
China
Britain
United States

OR

Germany
Russia
Japan
China
Britain
Italy
United States

[redrum]

@hepps Yeah, I'm open to re-ordering them to probably turn order. Though if I did that I'd probably add a little field to give a difficulty rating for each. And thanks for the image love.

[redrum]

I added a bit about watching out for Italian can openers as well.

@Hepps I reworked some of the image placement and formatting. Open to suggestions.

@hepps Hehe, he looks pretty wired. No more caffeine for Hepps.

[prastle]

@general_zod Is that his Businessman of the world haircut?

[Hepps]

@general_zod Sure caffeine... yah caffeine... let's go with that as an explanation.

[Centurio]

Looks very nice with the new icons!

[redrum]

Germany is up.

[CrazyG]

I would consider hiding the detailed descriptoins within spoilers.

Good tips on Germany.

[redrum]

@crazyg I don't think we currently have anyway to have spoilers on the forum though its a good idea.

[wirkey]

@redrum I think you forgot logistics for german tech. At least I think logistics is the most important tech at all.

[redrum]

@wirkey I added Logistics now though in 2.8 I don't prioritize it nearly as much as in 2.7. Trains tend to make the extra truck movement not as important as before. I also think less experienced players struggle to use trucks effectively so buffing air/land unit stats and getting free materials is better.

[wirkey]

@redrum Not only trucks get +1 movements, trains too. And don't forget the scrambling from Carriers. Not that important for Germany/Russia, but it'S huge for the Pacific powers and UK trying to defend beachheads in France/Norway/North Africa

[redrum]

@wirkey I thought +1 train movement was in improved logistics?

And yeah logistics is key for Japan, UK, and USA for carrier scrambling. I have that in the USA tech priorities already.

@wirkey I thought +1 train movement was in improved logistics?

no, simple logistics. I just tried it
