Unsure how to tackle this mission. I am confused on whether to push south with the American AI army or to help the navy by caping the Antarctic islands. Generals and tech wont be a problem. Just some pointers will help. Thanks guys!

Just some pointers will help. Thanks guys! There was a good discussion on the Hard Mode version of this mission on another thread: european-war-4.boards.net/thread/7224/nato-final-base-hard-modeMy personal strategy was to ignore your allies, take the islands first, then go for the top right city on the mainland where the level IV airport is. From there, you can drop nukes with stealth bombers and avoid any damage mitigation by the enemy. After you take that city, push back towards the bottom left. |

.org/]  [/url] .org/]  [/url] .org/]  [/url] I landed south with my allies for this lvl. Went for Timoshenko first and used the stealth bombers to nuke Zhukov a couple times and had my tank gens capture the city he is in. Than captured the Chuikov is in with the help of more nukes and missiles. |

Strategic stealth bombers require lvl4 airport.
So You can launch it only from one city in this mission - the one occupied by Timoshenko

First time I played this mission I tried to capture islands and than invade from eastern side. My gens lost quite many hp in sea and they were massively attacked when landed, so I failed to do that (for that purpose are required stronger gens than my). Than I tried to send my gens to help allies to invade from western side and art and tank without gens + Nimitz in cruiser I sent to capture islands. Landing was successful, I captured all cities instead of last two with Zhukov and Timoshenko, during that time art + tank with the help of Nimitz captured islands too (last one was not captured, but it's not required to capture). By that time my gens were barely alive, I tried to attack Zhukov with RAs, but I haven't made a single shot to city, after that I lost my city in north island (it stayed empty all the time and I haven't noticed, that enemies approached it, than soviets built many tanks in that city, attacked city in another island and I decided to give up). So right strategy was to capture last two cities with nukes, sure, keeping an eye on islands if none tries to invade them. Also I did some mistakes like wasting two ion shots, and I could lose less hp invading cities. I haven't tried again yet, but that have to be possible with current gens and tech. I did that with Timoshenko, Nimitz, Konev and Guderian (all not upgraded) and lvl 1 nukes + lvl 1 missiles. If you say gens and tech is not a problem, than I think you have one more gen, + 2 missiles range, building nukes in 2 turns or just higher nukes level and that can make things notably easier.

I had a tough time completing this too but I found the best way was to go directly south with your allies to cap the mainland then drive the enemy north after. Also use ships to defend Eisenhower.

Just completed without upgrading anything. It's not a problem to get 3 stars using strategy and gens I mentioned above. What I have improved: I shot with ion to Timoshenko from the very beginning (yes, he regenerates city hp, but own hp not) and also very important moment is to capture Konev's city by 12th turn when Zhukov shoots nuke (sure, before that you have to capture Vasilevsky's, Novikov's and Bagramyan's cities). IDK if he shoots if there is no gen, I put gen there and damage was quite insignificant. So my gens had some hp left after capturing Konev's city, and they were able to kill units defending Timoshenko's city and also helped a bit to capture it. (most damage was done by nukes and also Nimitz has taken good amount of city hp before he died). After that I had some 7 turns left before 3 stars deadline to build more nukes and attack Zhukov's city. Also building tech centre in Novikov's city solved problem with tech.

Besides the armour spam & nuclear facility, there is nothing else too threatening about the islands.
I agree, try to ignore the islands.

I haven't passed this either, after losing twice. I think my tech tree needs to grow before I attempt the third time... Do any one of you max the tech tree before playing this?

Full tank tech changes everything, u need %100 chance for attack after destroying enemy. General skills trigger and percentage of attacking again is getting harder endgame. İf u try to do easy missions again for recources ( for example allies 1 hard, axis 1 hard) u will see that even if your generals have 1 2 leader skills, they will trigger mostly. Also, when u have %75 percentage of attacking again, it triggers almost everytime, too. But when u reach endgame, it is almost like %25 chance. When u r in most critical circumstances, murphy laws show themselves end u ll go crazy with this. |
