Am interested in the Battalion on steam, but am not being let into the discord invite. Says its invalid. Could not find the game on Steam. Did this come to fruition?
Very Important: Use your Stars to improve Damage, Action Points, etc., or you will never destroy the Flying Dutchman. Click on the star at the bottom left corner, you will see the stars you accumulate, and click the plus signs next to the area you want improved. I'd recommend adding them to the top of the list first (Damage) for a faster game and better score, i.e fewer days.
13. After you take 250 German planes, Put all of your Recruiters into Gathering and Working to load up on planes for the final push. Then put gatherers into building and pilots. This is to have massive numbers to match German massive numbers and put you over 300 faster.
These things get me to 300 in about 33 - 35 turns. But I got 32 turns only once. Can't figure how one gets less than that.

10. Better to send more planes at one wave and let one city get hit, than to send low numbers at all waves and lose all your planes.
11. Ratios:
Less than 8 planes: Send equal amount plus 1 or 2.
8-12 planes: send equal amount.
13 or more: send 2 - 5 less than incoming, as they will all likely be wiped out.
12. Set up Gatherers and Workers to supply 8 planes per round. Build up more metal than you build. Make more planes than you use, but not too many at one time. This is so you can suddenly divert gatherers to builders and build massive amounts of planes if (a) you lose massive amounts of planes in a round, or (b) you get hit by illness and build no planes. If a then b happen in quick succession, consider starting a new game.

Tips for beginners:
1. At the start, put all 4 planes in the South East and all 10 recruits into Recruiters.
2. Max out Recruiters asap.
3. Build Hurricanes at first, but don't build more than 10 before you switch all building to Spitfires.
4. Protect the South East at all costs! That is your base of intelligence gathering, and if it is hit, your intelligence suffers greatly. Rebuild asap!
5. Builders rebuild at about 6%+. More builders in one city increase the rate slightly. But they can die in bombing raids.
6. Don't use firemen. Waste of manpower.
7. You can let cities go unrepaired a little while, but don't lose any. Repair in big chunks at one time to make efficient use of builders.
8. Important: Let the first few rounds go, except to protect the South East, and build airplanes, then train pilots. You need large numbers of pilots and planes to win.
9. After you start fighting for real, build up your spies to target incoming more efficiently.
