Re: CC 30 DAK @ 75%
Alam Halfa Battle The most important information right away: This is the final opportunity to buy 10-strength units. Either you do it now, over never. When playing over 100% prestige this is a now brainer. When playing around or below 100% normally it would be wise to stack up your PP's and buy in ...
