My team is has 7 land gens and 1 navy gen, I have not maxed out atk tech for navy yet (1-2 more upgrades for atk on both light and heavy ships). I have max nobility Davout, Mahmud II, Massena and Murat, Dabrowski is coming close to max nobility, and Jourdan, Falsen and Gates are untouched. Problems: - I have Falsen and 7/8 of my gens are land gens. - My fleet is completely wiped out by turn 12-13 - I cannot hold any port long enough until turn 15 - Even when the northern Russian fleets are destroyed, the southern fleets join and turn he tide by turn 9. - Trying to cluster and hold the northernmost port for a 2* clear still failed.  |

Do you think it would be worth it for me to start saving up for navy generals now? This mission seems near impossible. One tip: Try it, and try it, and try it again. Eventually, you will get lucky, or you will think of a new strategy/tactic... Believe me, I've tried missions and conquests over 100 times sometimes... Eventually it works... |

Maybe one, but maybe none. If you have max tech for ships and it's still hard, get one navy gen. But it's better to just focus on other unit gens for now. |

Something that might work is if you wait until turn 13 or 14 and then move into the port that way you can minimize the amount of time you need to hold the port. Send your ships to help the other generals a bit, but keep most of them in reserve. That strat almost worked for me, but I was one turn off of moving into the port. I think it will be much easier for you since you have better battle ability generals... |

Floating this up again because I tried and failed to win this, again.
The key problem is that the 3 fleets in the far corner led by Istomin and Putyatin ALWAYS sails right up and destroy ALL allied ships at the end. And yes, I have factored in Kornilov, Sophia and the imperial forts.
This occurs even when most of the other fleets and admirals have been sunk.
My situation is such that I swapped out Falsen for Sakurako and the only ship upgrade left is to upgrade heavy ship dmg from lvl 7 to lvl 8, before I will have completely upgraded all ship tech.
Also, I've noted that there is a possibility of the Russians ignoring ports captured by the allied fleet, not including the player's ships. Is there a way to trigger this? When I do trigger it, I usually lose by default because all my ships are lost, any solutions?

Nobunaga Oda, after maxing my ship upgrades, it was pretty easy from then on. I remember just focusing on controlling the center, then destroying the enemy ships until i can safely take control of the objectives. I don't focus on the enemy generals; i just surround them and just destroy the other ships. Afterwards, i just destroy the enemy generals. They get double demoralized or demoralized, so destroying them should be easy.

However, the small group of reinforcements somehow just overrun my position and destroys my fleet easily. Should I consider parking my fleet offshore away from the forts and ports, and try to destroy the enemy at sea first? |

Nobunaga Oda , after maxing my ship upgrades, it was pretty easy from then on. I remember just focusing on controlling the center, then destroying the enemy ships until i can safely take control of the objectives. I don't focus on the enemy generals; i just surround them and just destroy the other ships. Afterwards, i just destroy the enemy generals. They get double demoralized or demoralized, so destroying them should be easy. I did try to isolate and destroy the enemy gens and ships upon approaching the ports. However, the small group of reinforcements somehow just overrun my position and destroys my fleet easily. Should I consider parking my fleet offshore away from the forts and ports, and try to destroy the enemy at sea first? ,yup. It is a priority to wipe out alteast 90 percent of the enemy ships before even attempting to the objectives. They'll most likely plague your ships if you land too early. Sophia also hurts. Just control the areas sorrounding the ports should suffice. Although i'd say it would be better to get the southernmost one. I took some screenshots, and this may help you . I deliberately did a mistake at turn 13 to show you how dangerous it is to take the ports too early.   Your allies will actually capture the northern and middle port.  Trapping the enemy, making him basically useless.  Your allies are going to capture the ports earlier, so the enemy aggression will be on them. Just keep focusing on enemy ships.  Yup, there's still a plague for you.  here is the deliberate mistake. Massena was actually fine, since my only sophia and a dying ship is there on the north. Murat was the mistake. I was expecting him actually to last until turn 15, but turns out, he gets destroyed by the end of turn 13. Didn't expect that damage really.  Last turn. Alexander dies and the enemy captures the middle port. Sophia didn't capture the northern port, so i still got a 2 star. I thought i got a screenshot of the victory screen, but i was surprised to see that i didn't, so you just have to take my word that i completed it  . But yeah, based on the results, only take the middle and bottom port by turn 15, and it's fine to take the northern port at around turn 13 or 14 provided THERE ARE NO SHIPS nearby, or one or 2 dying ones. |

Franz von Hipper, hope the above info helps. I cleared this with 2*s with 5 land gens (Mahmud II, Massena, Davout, Dabrowski, Murat), 1 navy princess (Sakurako) and 2 free land gens (Gates and Jourdan). And except for the last heavy ships atk upgrade, all remaining ship upgrades were bought. Even with land oriented line-up, it is still possible to win. However, try not to aim for an immediate 3* clear unless all remaining Challenges are cleared, because it's recommended that you should only change your gen line up for 3* Crimean War challenge clears after you have a 1* or 2* clear for all.

I think replacing gates and jourdan with gold gens would be enough for a 3 star, since i was able to 3 star it with an underdeveloped nelson. But i agree that it's better to aim to complete the challenges first, then adjusting teams to get the 3 stars. |
