Soviet union 1943

would you prefer a full video? I didnt use generals and completed it in 16 turns

My score: 18 turns

Generals used: None haha. But my key generals in this conquest were Vasilevskiy, malinovsky and zhukov. I will explain why.

Brief Strategy: For this I followed max's 1943 ussr with generals strategy, but without generals. At stalingrad I focused on defeating model and bock easily with artillery, and pushed vatutin back to help so that when the balkan spam came he could come back easily and defeat the weaker infantry and artillery generals. Took kiev back with lightning speed, and started to attack polish cities as well. Defended and took out 2 german generals leaving guderian behind back at moscow, and pushed all generals ahead to take minsk within turn 3 with strategic bombers to prevent manstein from spawning. Ignored guderian, a german heavy and medium tanks which went to moscow. Defended moscow with 3 heavy tanks and 1 light one. Konev and some troops focused on taking back leningrad and defeating finland, whilst the rest took warsaw with lightning speed and then rushed to berlin. Berlin was well defended, so i went around it to take the key target of any 1943 allied speed run, cologne. From then on the missile spam helped me claim german cities very fast, and help take some italian cities too. Kuznetsov lowered bucharest's hp, while zhukov vatutin and chuikov made the entire balkan front collapse before defending against the italian counterattack. After lightening the spam, I parasniped athens, defeated bulgaria, moved to attack milan, and paratrooped a random unit to africa where I relied on my allies montgomery and de gaulle to destroy the afrika corps while I only worried about dakar, casablanca, tripoli, algiers and ethiopia. After that with firm control of missiles defeating the rest of germany and spain was very easy qalong with my op infantry generals, where I could easily take down an undefended IV city with both generals and some other troops. Zhukov was very helpful in bringing defensive troops in cities down to low hp, whilst vatutin attacked and defeated the unit, and attacked the city again to deal maximum damage.

In asia, my allies were of tremendous assistance in lowering the hp of nanking and shanghai which i gladly parasniped. For manchuria I sent all siberian units to push back, dealing damage against the japanese commandos with bunkers and medium tanks provided at the start. Afterwards novikov attacked korea and got into seoul, and afterwards helped a lot in bombing naval units for me to steal japanese ports for cruisers to lower tokyo's health. Southeast asia dealt with by sending parasnipes from nagasaki to manila, then to the rest of sea. I could have finished the conquest in 17 turns due to me forgetting to take a port that the spanish left in the uk, but well this is it. No more records as of yet, and I apologise if these guides are rather vague but ive tried my best in recalling as much.

Key points in the conquest: kiev, minsk, warsaw, bulgaria, COLOGNE, rome, peking, nagasaki, manila, thailand, seoul and lastly tokyo.
Key events: Made the german offensive seem like a joke in both moscow and stalingrad, blitzkrieg through the balkan states and poland, taking back of leningrad, defeating MANNERHEIM ARGH SO STRONG, taking cologne be like best feeling #2019, finally ending the italian land and naval spam, allies too eager to rekt japan and leaving all the cities easy to be parasniped, and lastly taking over japan with cruisers, fighters and paratroopers.
