My generals are Messe and Leeb, both green and Leeb has upgraded Rumor. How should I go about this mission? I have tried both pairing with my eastern ally and attacking the U.S territory and pairing with Yamashita. Eventually our offensive stalls out after we reach Wavell and I don't have the necessary strength to take the last two cities (which are on opposite sides of the map).
The problem shouldn't be my generals because I made it to Pacific Allies 8 with 3 stars on all of its predecessors.

Floating this back up because 32 hours later I'm still stuck on this mission. I made it a bit farther this time, only had the north eastern city left. But I ran out of time :/

Not a single person has any input on this mission? Not even a "Get good"?

I beat it with one singular star. I used both Leeb and Messe on starting units and followed Yamamoto on his path. I made sure to capture every city (paratrooper drop after allies do the work) except the final American one in the North. My allies were actually a big help distracting the north east British forces. Once you reach the top of the map, don't go for either objective. Instead go for the middle city as it has an airport and level 3 factory, both of which you'll need. The general there only has 1 hex range as well. At this point, Messe was dead and Leeb had 10 hp. That's okay though, if you built your units very carefully you should have 2500 gold and 750 industry. Use that to fighter spam the hell out of anything not in a city. Especially enemy artillery in the west. Since you have mostly every city (Except for Yangon and the northernmost American one), your income is high enough to build a triple stacked heavy tank every other turn or so. Keep pumping them out and sending them right to the eastern objective. I was able to capture it on the very last turn with my allies help and about three half health triple stacked tanks. To kill the final British general on his heavy tank (Alexander I think?), just use light infantry on him until he dies. He shouldn't have much health left. If your funds allow it, just air strike him to death. There you go, one star. If your generals are particularly good, perhaps you can kill the coward Alexander(?) before he runs to his corner in the north and maybe if your generals have good movement stars you can capture Yangon. It always gets taken on the AI turn of round 2 though so you better be speedy. NetherFreek you can add this to the WC4 library please |

Never even seen this post in the fourms (I AM ALWAYS ON THE FOURMS except when I am not) if I was to offer advice on this (aside from the get good) would be to kill alexander to prevent him from linking up with the other more powerful generals and take yangton quickly to debuff the troops (pretty sure that is what is supposed to happen) you will need to take the american cities to have enough science to make artillary units to bomb the remaining two generals at the top and to top it off if you had any generals and a few weak units left after taking all but the top three cities then use the close to death units to draw the generals out of the city (makes it easier to take the cities).

Killing the tank seating on Yangon will trigger the retreat Of Alexander. Hold off the killing of That unit will allow u to surround and inflict Alexander with Rumor and hold him in place. Taking Mandalay will trigger another debuff of the enemy. Planning Carefully before taking that city will allow u to take full advantage of the debuff with rumor/ surround. Good luck.  Edit : the north middle city is useless just skip it xD |

Edit : the north middle city is useless just skip it xD Definitely not useless, it's the only airport in range of the two northernmost objectives. My Japanese allies kill and capture Yangon on round 2 no matter what. I don't think there is any way to kill Alexander before he reaches the top of the map. |

You can do this with at least one general with Rumor in your team. You have Leeb, so theoretically you can disable him before he escapes... |

U going to spend 4-5 turns taking that city with the enemy general and end up with another 1-2 star on the Mission if you go for the middle base.
And this is on of the missions you should help your allies against USA in the east as well

And this is on of the missions you should help your allies against USA in the east as well Yes, but my forces were already completely depleted anyway. I could have went for the western city and gotten slaughtered by Alexander or I could have gone to the eastern city and gotten slaughtered by the enemy artillery and infantry general. The center city was the only safe option. stoic my rumor is only a 45% chance and Leeb would probably have to tank hits from surrounding enemies and Alexander before it triggered. I don't really use Leeb like that, especially since I needed every bit of damage he could give the rest of the mission. This mission is easily the hardest of all of the Pacific set, I got 3 stars on every axis mission after it. |

I was able to beat it with three stars. I don't remember which one it was off the top of my head though. |

I got three starts on it also it was just a pain to try to kill the last general on the island since he was protected by basically impenetrable defenses. |

What you described sound more like Iwo Jima |

What you described sound more like Iwo Jima Yeah I thought so too. I also have 3 stars on Iwo Jima... just used brute force to kill that fortified general. |
