I was recently playing it as prussia and when I finally occupied all of vienna, bratislava, munich and pest (buda was occupied the next turn) the poles give up and all of their cities are occupied by the austrians and then they started heading towards poznan (which is mine), I keep making line infantry in double formation but they keep blasting it with their cannons, same goes for munich but both are still in my hand.
The problem I am facing here is that warsaw is guarded by the elite-most machine guns (well I do have sophia for that) but the cities remaining are zagreb, debrecen and warsaw along with the crappy fort of lviv, I have done half of this already with no generals dead (blucher, kleist, domberg on- near-dead-health, fatima in berlin for income and döbeln on the level-2-machine-gun (half-health left)).

I just did it as Austria. Too many cities for me to capture with Prussia. Plus since I have no allies to worry about defending (forever alone) it was entertaining to crush 3 different countries utterly by myself.

Austria is OP here. The 1st thing you wanna do is get Switzerland guarded by some arty. Then make a huge army of 3/4 of your army and crush into the Prussian main line. Use your cavalry general + the delivered cav. general + some arty and cannonfood (line inf.) then capture warsaw and lviv and keep spamming line infantries to keep Poland bussy. Crush through the Prussian lines with your main force and split a bit up: send 1 or 2 units to the Switzerland army to take that city and Zurich (unless it is still Swiss'). Roll into berlin and danzig and POOF: VICTORY

I think the key point is that you need to have strong generals, whom you send to strike south and capture the enemy's capital and main cities. At the same time, send out one general and one troop to Warsaw and use them to form a wall, so that Warsaw won't fall early and you allow yourself some more time. Of course, if you send some cannons there, you can even prevent the fall of Warsaw, but resource will be a key factor...

what I did was steal warsaw while my main force charged south, just keep a strong arty force there to kill charles and solokoniki. I agree the polish are terrible allies

The recommendation is that you use Austria. Far more OP if you can believe it

Yes, where you can pick either one. Austria looks harder, but the Ottomans are wimps and Poland is also weak. And Prussia needs to babysit poland

I personally find that while those two are murderous, I used Jourdan (EW4's Govorov, high output but slow) in my last go to kill Dombrowski, and Sulkowski stayed out of the way until late in the game |
