Great post:+1:
The explanations in depth makes it worth reading.
It is useful information for not only new players - but also for veterans, even though most of it is already known.
Reading your way through this post confirms what most experienced players know - and explains why most strategies already follow the guidelines in this post.
To confirm the example of Cruiser units:
Since the Cruiser unit was introduced more than a decade ago, I have never played an Axis & Allies game where anyone purchased a Cruiser unit.
During the developement of the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion, we used similar calculations as mentioned above to determine the FCR, DFP, OFP and SA.
Once again - great and useful post, Andrew:+1:
