![]() The Trubia is a nifty little tank that is superior to your Panzer IAs. However, the only way you'll be able to get replacements if it takes damage is to capture more from the Republicans.Īnd now we arrive at our first chance to spend those commendations you've been racking up (You have been completing those Bonus Objectives right?)! At the start of the mission, you have the opportunity to spend 3 Commendations for some captured equipment: 35 Trubia tanks and 35 UNL-35 recon units. The 122mm is another good artillery unit compared to your current German guns. This one contains another 10 203mm M1931s, as well as 10 122mm M10/30 artillery pieces as well. Remember that other cache of the Spanish Civil War I mentioned? If you send a unit up along the top of the map to a Village at coordinates 20,4 you'll find said cache. There are 2 Bonus Objectives on this map. The Ju52s are pretty much mandatory to pull off one of the Bonus Objectives on this map, but after that their only real use is the fact that they are the only Strategic Bombers you'll have available for a while, especially if you're running Retrograde. Unfortunately, you can only acquire it here and in the only other cache you can find during this Campaign, so keep it safe or you'll quickly lose it.īy now most people probably know that capturing the Airfield at 13,15 spawns a trio of Ju52 bombers considering it is mentioned in the briefing itself, so I'll just cut to the commentary. The 203mm is the biggest, baddest artillery piece you'll find during the Spanish Civil War. If you can manage to run a ship loaded with one of your Spanish army of Africa units east, you can have them land at Gibraltar, where they find a set of 19 203mm M1931 artillery. ![]() The first mission of the Spanish Civil War is the location of our first hidden cache. And I believe they both give 1 Commendation each. ![]() Similarly, I love me some Trophies of War, so I had to actively make sure I compared units more to the standard German units and not my arsenal of captured equipment.Īnyway, let's get on with what you're all here for: Feel free to bring up your own experiences and opinions on these things, cause I very well could have missed something.ī) I haven't played much with Retrograde, so most of my opinions assume you are playing without it. I will not be going into detail about these Bonus Objectives or how to complete them, as that's a bit outside the scope of this guide.Ī) Any commentary on the various units and other rewards are simply my personal opinion. The film then covers CCA’s and CCB’s actions on 13 and 14 September, the fight for Luneville, and the German Fifth Panzer Army’s counterattack near Arracourt.Īt 48 minutes in length, this film is full of historical footage and photographs, virtual terrain, animated maps, and digitally-created doctrine graphics.For those of you who want to know when and what you can buy with Commendation Points, what goodies can be found in hidden caches, and some other special units and events that pop up, I decided to take it upon myself to find and note these things down and share them with you all, along with some commentary on them.Įdit: After a suggestion from Scrapulous, I've added in some brief notes regarding which missions have Bonus Objectives, as well as a running tally of the total Commendations you could have earned vs spent. It also offers an in-depth analysis of the region’s terrain and topography and how it limited the avenues of approach utilized by XII Corps during the campaign. The film begins with a discussion of the disposition of American and German forces in the Lorraine region of France in early September 1944. Army doctrine, specifically encirclement operations and tactics as well as passage of lines.Īt daylight on 13 September, Combat Command A of the 4th Armored Division passed through the 80th Infantry Division’s bridgehead near Dieulouard initiating the encirclement at Nancy. Army University Press presents “France 44: The Encirclement at Nancy.” This World War II documentary film focuses on XII Corps’ crossing of the Moselle River as part of the Lorraine Campaign in September 1944.
