Unit Familiarity. The units are different from the standard game. In general, tanks move further and are more effective in the plains but less effective elsewhere. Bridges and planes are more fragile. Germany's openning battle against Poland is a nice set-piece and can be played multiple times to get use to the unit mix. Play the 'No Poland' or 'No Munich' variants if you would like to start with a set-piece with France or Czechoslovakia respectively. text/html 2026-06-22T12:21:59+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.vrdesigns.net/atwiki/doku.php?id=waw:waw_units&rev=1782130919&do=diff Units 1.
