Hello, I have read about people doing Britain 1812... It should be easiest 3 star country??? Anyways, I was wondering if there was a guide, and I looked and there wasn't so... Does someone want to create a guide (not me, I haven't beat it yet) or post tips here? Also, I need help with the conquest... I can't land in Denmark because the stupid French and Denmark Navy keeps killing all my units, I can usually capture a city in America and Spain, but I can't invade Denmark... Maybe I should bait the French navy to attack Ireland?

I played Britain for a few times, and the biggest problem you have is that Sweden loses to Denmark almost 100 % of the time, if you don't do something about it. Russia eventually wins, except when it doesn't, Austria loses again(no surprise here), Prussia holds its ground for a while but would eventually fall. Pretty much the moment Denmark defeats Sweden, a domino effect would cause all the other coalition forces except for Portugal, Spain and Britain to fall before the might of the French alliance. Morocco also wins but is short lived, since the moment the Ottomans and Algerians defeat Egypt, Morocco may fall. Morocco's defeat is dependent on how early Egypt falls. The earlier Egypt falls, the higher the chance Morocco would fall. So send some units to Morocco, or just simply donate some of your resources to Egypt so they won't get stomped.Anyway, one tip for playing Britain is to simply sail your strong generals to Denmark as early as possible, while sending some of your units to the france. Distract the navy general of Netherlands so he won't attack your generals, and things would go smoothly from there. Great Britain is the easiest 3 star country, so it should be ez pz after you defeat the Danes ( don't forget about greenland). Also, Britain has some units stationed in the Americas. Just let them move around and only attack dearborn ( who is in a rocket, thus he won't retaliate), and capture cities that are unprotected. You can conquer the Americas by turn 30. Just make sure your units are healthy there tho, since it would be tragic if all your 3 land units in the Americas die: more turns you could have saved if only you didn't play too aggressive at first.

Maybe I should bait the French navy to attack Ireland? Just move northeast to avoid the Dutch navy (he's only one) or just use one or 2 baits, while still moving northeast. Militias are great bait btw. French navy isn't that much of a problem. You can send most of your units from Britain to France safely. As for Wellesley, just let him kill units and capture cities your Spanish or Portuguese allies can't capture. There are a few mountains at the borders of France and Spain, so that should be a great spot for him to just sit and harass oncoming french units. Also, the french are actually weaker here than in 1815, since all their strong generals are in the Russian border, that's the reason why Portuguese and Spanish wins almost 100%.

I played this several times myself. I placed Messena on grenadier send him straight to Denmark with Paget from round 1. The other infantry guy (Picton) stays to fend off the French tilheading to France looks safe, Which is might be. Around 22 if your looking for a smooth landing. ( blast was helpful for paris .) By then, Wellesley should have seized some cities ( spanish and french) then. Cotton and Jervis do go to Greenland. Don't rush to wipe out US. But I donate everything to Mexico twice on first two rounds. Then I donated twice to Russia on 3 and 4. Donated to twice more to Austria when they join. From there I donated to Spain atleast twice . My John was with the given Wellesley. Over in US I used Jourdan on art aiding Ross. It's good your allies take Washington other cities first. Defending the Canadian cities is a waste of resource for them. Ialso donated to Egypt once to join early. I kept my naval general Drummond for protecting Spain's coast then send him off to Corsica after Barcelona looks secure. Yes Austria and Russia stays alive . Really Algeria was easy. My only obstacle was those American artillery gen and French coming for British turf. This method I feel is ok for 60 something rounds. During the whole time Portugal probably could've used bribe to join early. 🤔 If needed donate to Sweden if they really look like they need it. Sometimes they look like they're losin.

Strategy for 1812 Britain is i send Paget and Picton towards Denmark. Build my cavalry gens in Britain and send them towards France. Build Nelson turn 2 to demolish the French navy(if you don't have a navy gen it's fine). Send my Cotton and Jervis towards Greenlands, send my artillery gen and Wellesley to help spain, use Smith and Duckworth to harass the French, Italian and Naples' cities, and my forces at America to just stay healthy until i can capture i city. Build some farms early to maintain your population. Build Universities to sustain your forced marches and Blast. Main strength of this strategy is that you can beat the United states in a short time, in my case it was turn 18 (took the screenshot at turn 19). You also defeat the Danes pretty early. Main drawback is that your main force is far away from the Ottomans, and despite my donations towards Austria and Egypt, they weren't able to capture any city (was hoping Egypt would at least capture Jerusalem by turn 30.)
Ottomans are the problem to Britain in this conquest (not gonna make a Gallipoli campaign joke)
I managed to finish 41 turns using Britain. I realized i only used 7 generals and didn't use my Mahmud. My advise is to try Formulating forced marches ASAP, along with blast. I didn't use my forced march that much really. Also, send your forces directly towards the Ottomans, with one of your generals (preferably your strongest artillery gen) to solo the Italian Peninsula. Also try bribing Prussia once if you can afford it. Them entering 2 turns earlier may be a game changer. Try not to send Paget and Picton to Denmark, and only Nelson(or a frigate if you don't have a navy gen yet), or maybe on Paget and your Navy gen towards Denmark. Also, instead of staying in France and trying to capture Paris with your cavalry gens(the one i did), try to instead spam Heavy and light artillery from your nearest captured city and bombard it, and use your forced march to get your Cavalry gens to get to Ottoman lands ASAP.
I just copy pasted this from the post i made in the EW6 conquest records. The screen shots are there.

I tried to do something as the approaches above. Conquered Greenland alright, Denmark landing happened fine, I could consolidate position in north America, take some Spanish and French cities, even land in France and seize their entire west coast by turn 12. But by then Norway was nearly cast out in Finland, Moscow had been taken, Austria was engulfed in savage war against franch, ottomans, Bavarians, poles... Prussia had not entered the war yet, but I don't think it would matter, because Russia and Austria had already been broken anyway.
How to prevent collapse on the Eastern front?

Louis Gabriel Suchet , Deleted , Antonina of Philippopolis , Arty Rules , IMO, don't bother going UK unless you really want to, since 1812 heavily favors the French Imperial side both militarily and geographically. Austria, Prussia, Sweden and Egypt are guaranteed dead meat at turn 30 by the latest, and Russia, Spain and Portugal will follows shortly. My strat is waiting out in North America and let the Canadians duke it out then steal, sucker punch Norway real hard without worrying too much about France since they will be occupied in Spain, then from Norway proceed down to former Poland. Getting S rank with UK is usually pretty much non-existent, and you will be better off playing French Imperial side while giving the US lots of lend-lease.

Yeah, I just gave up Britain. Too much trouble, I'll get my 3 stars reward with the Ottos.

Arty Rules, The Grande Army can walks to Moscow, the London Fortress doesn't.

Unfortunately, the biggest problem for France in 1812 is that USA are too passive. Even if USA survive (thanks to our donations), - no way they will make any attempt to capture neither Canadian cities in the North, nor Mexican island in Pacific. I've personally never seen such attempts.

Yeah, I just gave up Britain. Too much trouble, I'll get my 3 stars reward with the Ottos. The problem with Ottomans is twofold One reason I mentioned above and another one is Britain. All French and Danish attempts to disembark their troops will fail miserably. So you have to destroy Britain by yourself. Not an easy task judging the distances...

Russia 1812 is definitely doable. I won it with S rank and no gens, but with very high tech lvls. My strategy differed as I sent Bagration to confront the French and my circumstances was lucky such that Mexico and Canada defeated the USA. I agree with your statement, because from my observation, Britain is very thinly spread across both sides of the Atlantic. It's forces in Northern and Southern Europe (if you dissect it laterally) are insufficient to mount and sustain any major assault. You'd be reusing the general strategy of the American Revolutionary War: Consolidate your tiny forces within whatever allied positions you have and hope that minor campaigns can wear down the enemy or force a swift and decisive victory. If you tried and succeeded, you may find yourself opening up fronts and entering the mainland via Brittany and Denmark-Norway. If you are lucky, you may occupy some cities in the Americas or the Iberian Peninsula.

Unfortunately, we have nothing but a winning screenshot of it. There are only two land units capable to reach Asia Minor in time - Wellington and one unit of Artillery (Everyone else is far away from Turkey). Even if we send Wellington right from the start - it is anything but smooth sailing. I tried it several times but was unable to do it quick enough. I really want to see how cojoncio did it.
