Hello, i've seen that theres no guide for "battle of porto" of spanish war. I don't know where to write it so i post it here
Battle of porto. Your goal is to hold the port for 15 turns. To manage all 3 stars you don't have to deploy the princess and navy general.
Aura buff generals are really needed in this challange or it will be very hard. Murat and Dabrowski do a great job on this map and so infantry aura buff gens. There isn't arty to put arty gens on them, but it could be good putting one of them in a ship. At first: your ships have 3 attack range so use them wisely. I think that everybody has navy tech underdeveloped.
Try to not spend money because you will need it in case of breakthrough of the enemy fleet and after turn 12 for soldiers. Lannes and Mortier will move towards the spanish city and so Soult will do. I unleashed all forces to capture the french city where Lannes was in to avoid enemy unit spamming.
The two enemy navy groups on the left corner of the map won't attack immediately so concentrate fire on those ships who fire at the spaish allied city.
After capturing the french city move all your units to protect the spanish city and attack enemy ships from the land to weaken them. On turn 12 two enemy armies will spawn on the right side of the map. Holding the ex-french city will stop them. Is not a problem if the city falls, turn 15 is on the corner.

Thanks for the guide RedSweaper, very helpful, I followed it but made a small change
I destroyed both structures and built a factory for 3 siege artys (2 best arty gens, with aura buff, if you have them) Used both Cav Gens (blucher, murat) and Massena on machine gun.
Didn't use naval gens but used navy to pick off incoming French ships, just stay 3 hexes away when firing and you'll be fine. I also placed the line infantry on the port to avoid a sneaky French boat from costing me an automatic fail. Happened turn 6 on my first attempt. Don't lose the port!!!!
No point upgrading anything in the city, buy the 3 siege cannons and save the rest to spawn 1 or 2 infantry once enemy reinforcements arrive.
Just make a couple of blasts and poisons early on and then forced march with the rest
Fun mission, not so gruelling.
