To overstrength a unit, select the unit and click overstrength, then choose how many additional strength points you wish to give the unit. This does not increase the unit’s regular attack stats directly but will make them more powerful by having more strength points, making them stronger in battle and harder to destroy outright.

Units can also be given ‘overstrength’ up to an additional five strength points (so a tank that usually has ten strength points can be given up to fifteen). If you then decide you do not wish to have transport, after all, click the red X next to the listed transport. To compare the stats of a transport, select first the regular unit and then the transport: the transport will now have its stats listed below the unit it will be attached to. These will be listed at the bottom of the screen under the units available for purchase. Some units, particularly infantry and towed guns, can be equipped with transports such as trucks or half-tracks. The stats will then be listed on the right-hand side of the screen, and you can compare this unit to another by mousing over its icon as well. If you wish to view a unit’s stats (such as attack strength, target type, or movement range), click on its icon once. Each unit has a cost in prestige and core slots, and units that you cannot afford will be greyed out. The leftmost two-thirds of the screen will be filled with all the possible units you can buy from the chosen unit class and nation.

Note: Sorting units by ‘ALL’ is useful if you wish to compare the stats of two units in different classes, for instance, a tank and an anti-tank.

At the top of the purchase screen, you can select what nation (Germany in the campaign, possibly others in other scenarios) and what unit class (e.g., infantry, tank, recon, and so forth) by clicking on the appropriate icon or choose ‘ALL’ to view all of them at the same time. This will take you to the purchase screen. To purchase a unit, click on the second button in the top left corner of your screen, marked with a $ symbol.
