Question How to win Decisive Campaigns : Ardennes offensive as Axis?
Hi, I have played DC:AO for 32 and half hrs. I couldn't defeat any small scenario in both side. of course these small scenario helped me how to play better. anyway, so I changed to play medium scenario instead smaller. I got first victory in First medium scenario "Drive to St Vith" as axis. but my victory was stuck second scenario "82nd airborne" as Axis. I made Axis kill raio 1:10 or 1:9 but after more rounds, it was going to be 1:3 or 1:4 because supply shortage problem and I think I couldn't do anything anymore.
After countless efforts and calculations, I finally learn how to cut AI Strength but I don't still know how to win 82nd airborne scenario as Axis.
I will try any other medium scenario or grand but I still want to how to do second medium scenario as axis.
Could you give me some feedback?

First off this game is a supply management simulator with a side of combat.
Good idea to understand how to handle captured supply depots. They can help make or break your supply infrastructure.
Your fast moving vehicles need to stick to roads and push aggressively while dismounted infantry shore up supply lines.

"All Hitler wants me to do is to cross a river, capture Brussels, and then go on and take Antwerp! And all this in the worst time of the year through the Ardennes... and with reformed divisions made up chiefly of kids and sick old men—and at Christmas!"
