For Axis I think 5. Panzer is still the most beginner friendly

It's important to identify your own playstyle as well regarding what units you prefer, your comfort with different tactics can make the difference between an A rank deck losing to a C deck or vice versa.

Thank you very much lads!

Generally speaking, "A" class divisions are easier to suss out that B and C classed divisions; they're tank-heavy, offensive-minded and often have the state-of-the-art equipment (for the era).

For the Soviets, I'd recommend the 29th Tank Corps or the 2nd Guards Tank Corps; the former have the heavy IS-2 tanks and T-34/85s, while the latter has much greater numbers of the T-34/85s and IL-2Ms for solid air support.

Dunno, I think B rated divisions are probably more amateur friendly.

A -divisions are very offensive minded which need some knowledge while B -divisions allows you to build more rounded up lists.


Although ABC -ratings are bit loose that it is better to look at divisions rather then ratings.


Personally German 78th Sturm or 14th Inf. are probably safe bets while for Soviets Tyurin and 3rd Mech (or 2nd) could provide safe bets.

78th sturm is kind of hard with the lack of tanks through all the phases, but overall their infantry kicks ass

Yes and 78th is also lacking in recon (recon plane mandatory) but in exchange it has very good support to really make that infantry shine.

Also, Nashorn is life.

I like divisions that have good defensive options for holding what you take in phase A or B. I'm in love with divisions with a full strength recon squads. I'm just starting to play 1v1 games and a 10 man recon squad stealthing across the front can unhinge defenses. either by eliminating AT guns or other key defenses or just posting up on the road enemy reinforcements will have to travel once your attack begins.

I find the Gruppe Harteneck really suits me quite well in 1v1. Good infantry options for attack and defense.... 2 cards of Ersatzruppen if you wanna flood the board in phase A. It lack in artillery options, and AAA so your pretty much forced to take a decent air game but I find that I'm usually putting so much pressure on the ground that my opponent cant spare any points for the air anyway.

I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Any arty divs.
352 for German and 26 for USSR

[Dieseell]

Thank you.

Some strong divisions have some weakness' (usually mentioned in the descriptions), I think its more important to just play get use to the mechanics and if you can watch back games. This is often an indicator of mistakes made. I prefer the less flashy divisions with cheaper tanks like the 3rd guards mechanised as the individual losses are less important.

The new counter battery order for artillery has made strong artillery play divisions better so I agree a bit with Hearthunter.
