Is this still the Best Strategy Guide around for PON ?

It has some useful tips but I was looking for a more combat specific focus as my Austrian ally is pulling me into war with the Ottomans much earlier than I had thought.

I have some strong forces gathered in Odessa and Georgia but am looking to optimize the stack strengths vs CP etc and possibly move forward with multiple stacks - hopefully capable of supporting each other.

I need to move fairly fast - since in my last game, Austria skipped down to Constantinople and sat on it before I could get there. That's 200 objective points for Russia - so I can't afford to let that happen in this new game.

Probably the AARs in this forum are the best strategy guides. There are several focus upon economics, but a few focus upon the battles. Do you play other AGEOD titles? If so, something like AJE or WIA are very similar militarily.

Thanks Durk.

I have several but always come back to PON.

I had an old PON game going (on a computer that died the True Death) where I mounted some successful campaigns but there has been a long gap and I forgot what I did to effectively manage the bulk forces vs Command Penalty.

I'll peek at the AARs to see what other folks have done. Was just checking to see if someone had already made a study and gotten it down into some bullet points.
