I noticed there was no guide for this one, but I can't beat it so... Does someone want to make a guide for Russia 1812? I know it's doable because other people have done it, I'm just not sure how to do it.

I know it's doable because other people have done it, I'm just not sure how to do it. Push with everything you have in Europe. Defend against the ottomans via militia. After you collapse poland, attack bavaria and two italies. Keep in mind that Alexander and Kutuzov are very strong generals, protect them with all you have. Bagration is also capable of healing and has good damage. |

Main problem with Russia is the French generals stationed in Poland. The moment the Polish generals join, they would be able to push you in. All you can do is sit back and beat the generals one by one. Try beating Napoleon first tho, since he hits like a truck. As for the ottoman side, just hold them off until the Austrians come to help. I placed my generals in the units stationed in the border of the ottomans, so i can push towards them early. Yeah, Russia is pretty much the easiest and fastest 3 star country because of the large amount of land and resources they have. It's also a disadvantage, since large lands mean more cities to protect, which means you either let the enemy capture them and recapture later, or keep spawning militias every turn to protect them. I didn't finish it tho, since i got frustrated that i wasn't able to capture Trabzon until Jerusalem fast enough. Might finish it later

Agree with the above methods^^. Hold out until the two Germanys join the war, trap your enemies and hit their unprotected rear.

Prussia joins in 14 turns so by the time Prussia joins, Austria is dead. Yeah, this can be a problem, since the combined might of Bavaria, Naples, Italy and the Ottomans can pretty much demolish Austria before turn 14. I pretty much stall the ottomans stationed below Austria so they can conquer the cities of the ottomans. But there's also the Problem of Denmark, which 90 percent wins against Sweden without intervention. The only side that wins against the French alliances is the combined force of Britain, Spain and Portugal, the Moroccans against the Algerians(will start losing tho if Egypt falls too soon), and the coalition of Mexico and Canada against the United States. I didn't finish it yet, but based on what i said your best bet on beating the conquest is to take it slow first and wait for Prussia to enter the war. Then use all your forces beat Poland, then march your forces downward towards Italy( your Spanish, Portuguese and British friends will push towards Paris around turn 30, based on my experience playing 1812 so much as practice). As for denmark, just spam grenadiers and send them to capture the dominant Scandinavian power with the help of the remaining Swedish soldiers. I also sent all 4 generals towards the ottomans, so i can conquer them quickly so they won't be a problem for the Egyptians. For donations, donate to Egypt and your American allies as usual, and when Algeria Falls, Naples will have to divide it's forces, making it easier for you to beat the French alliance. Might make a guide about it if someone doesn't make one first, and if i beat it. |

I am stuck on what to do ie what to do with all the Russian generals because I don't want them to take damage, but I also want them in a spot to be able quickly overrun the Polish once Prussia joins so... |

I am stuck on what to do ie what to do with all the Russian generals because I don't want them to take damage, but I also want them in a spot to be able quickly overrun the Polish once Prussia joins so... I always sacrifice my Russian generals for the cause lol. You can either place all your generals in Russia and Brute force the Poles, or Place your generals in the borders of the ottoman empire, capture some cities and let them return towards poland via Austria. It would be hard not to lose generals here, since the French generals placed here are pretty much the strongest generals the French have. All you can do is surround, bait, make one of them overextend, etc. I'd say tho that the hardest enemy you have here isn't the French,but rather the resource management. I found that simply holding on while letting your other generals take some ottoman lands, while swiftly making them return to defend the motherland is the safer option. Just do what the Russians did: avoid major engagements and harass the enemy. Try to make the enemy generals separate so it's easy to surround them. Also, focus Davout and Ney because they hit infantry hard. After they fall, defending your cities should be easier. Also keep an eye out on your other cities, Poland may capture them. As for your Friendly neighbor Danes, i suggest sending a few units and capture some cities there, and proceed from there on. I'll post some pictures after i complete Russia 1812 again. The faster, but riskier option is to put all your generals in the frontlines, and forcibly push the French and Polish forces back. Works too, but i would only recommend if you have strong generals. |

With almost maxed tech, I beat the Grande Armeé by around turn 10 and have conquered Poland before turn 20. Sadly, Austria died at around 13-15. You definitely will find it hard to deploy your own gens here due to limited resources and population cap, so I suggest playing this when you have very high tech lvls. _______________________________________________ For the Motherland! (Western Front) Converge everyone on the lvl 2 border city (except those from the 3 provinces bordering the Caucasus and those stationed at Sevastopol against the Ottoman Empire), this is where you force a decisive battle against the French and Poles. Like what above posts mention, try to draw enemies away and destroy them separately. Napoleon, as stated in either a separate thread or above, is a great threat. Send the two gens from Saint Petersburg to hound him and lure him to the border city NE of Poland. Afterwards, the spammed militia and the two gens shall defeat any Pole that attacks before attacking Warsaw. Ensure that you quickly build up your economy and do NOT build farms. These resources are vital especially with the low 160 population (which you are immediately close to exceeding). Make sure you use your existing gens on Cossacks as well as Kutuzov well, they are very good for dealing dmg to units immediately behind your targets. Do not be afraid to spam militia if needed, Russia destroyed their agricultural economy IRL, so why can't you hit population of ~170 at worse?  Note: Focus on Steel and money first. When you have enough knowledge gain per turn, try to use Blast every turn. _______________________________________________ Southern Front - Balkans War Your goal is just to defend Sevastopol, delay the fall of Austria and defeat as many Ottoman troops as possible. Move Senyavin away, he's needed for the Caucasus Campaign. He'll return after the 2 main coastal Caucasian cities fall. _______________________________________________ Southern Front - Caucasus Campaign Basically, try to defeat the starting Ottoman troops, then use Senyavin to bomb enemy cities so that you can capture Trabzon and Tbilisi. Spam militia to hold your new gains and advance southward. Now, move Senyvin back to Crimea and prepare to defend.  |
