I've beaten the Axis Campaign now all I have left is the final mission in the allies campaign but I cannot for the life of me beat it. After over dozen attempts I'm about ready to thrown in the towel. I've tried to follow the guides but they don't work. Maybe because I only have Vatutin?
My Allies are useless and always fail to hold a city for more than a few turns. I'll try to help Zhukov and Konev but they get overwhelmed by the Germans and always die before they can even attack Manstein. By the time I manage to capture everything south of Berlin all my allies are gone, my General is almost dead from the super artillery, and I get spammed with Armored Cars and Field Artillery so my units are always weak before they reach Manstein, I try to lure him out so I can nuke him but I have yet to see him leave.
Honestly I feel this level is unnecessarily difficult and I'm not sure how to beat it without resorting to IAP. Any advice would be appreciated.

Honestly I feel this level is unnecessarily difficult and I'm not sure how to beat it without resorting to IAP. Any advice would be appreciated. I completed it with two stars with Messe, so it is more than possible to do it with Vatutin. Some advice 1. You have a nuclear bomb (I presume you know it already). Don't use it before the final assault. 2. Don't try to attack Manstein until all other goals are achieved. 3. Don't try to complete this mission with 3 stars (you can do this later), use all your turns and plan your strategy according to this timetable. 4. Let your Vatutin take one city after another acording to your plan, notwithstanding the moves and/or proclamations of your allies. 5. Concentrate all your forces in one place. One decisive blow - new concentration of forces - another decisive blow etc. 6. Don't use Air strikes simply because you can do this. Wait for the right moment. 7. Build double and triple stacked units of Rocket Artillery for the final assault on Berlin. Use them all together with Vatutin, nuclear bomb, Air strikes and all other available units.

I honestly don't see how you guys are doing this. My tech is as upgraded as it can be pre Pacific War. I follow instructions to the letter yet I still get overwhelmed. My Allies always fall, often losing Cologne and Zurich forcing me to redirect my forces to recapture their cities, which is difficult because more often than not when a tank destroys a city it cannot make another move so the Germans just place another unit there and the process repeats. Then their tanks and artillery come down from Berlin and smash through my units, making it difficult to even hold the cities I just captured. Just getting into a position to attack Manstein is almost impossible.
Maybe I am doing something horribly wrong but I just cannot beat this mission.

Ok. my guess that there is something wrong with postimage indeed. Let's do it hard way 1. I'm playing this mission using only Messe. My tech tree is now quite advanced, but Vatutin is better than Messe. ibb.co/fOsrXmibb.co/m38WXm2. First target is an obvious one - the town in the south. All units except one medium tank go there. One medium tank goes north just in case. ibb.co/e2rksmibb.co/m700Q63. "just in case" is always working. We occupy unguarded town ibb.co/hH4idR4. There is a complete disaster in the center. But we are prepared for something like that ibb.co/eT9S565. Prague is the obvious target №2 ibb.co/bG2fQ66. No more help in the center at all ibb.co/fHXQsm7. What do we know about Americans? They attack but don't not take cities. Let's capture Nuremberg by ourselves. ibb.co/b4gwyRibb.co/gEs3dR8. Ok. it's time to take Munich ibb.co/gV4GyRibb.co/h2hQsm9. We can hold the ground in the north ibb.co/hSFpJR10. We have Munich in our hands ibb.co/c4xfQ611. It's time to prepare for the final assault ibb.co/bBTWXmibb.co/hW6JCm12. Some players say that Manstein leaves Berlin when he is destracted by decoy. Let's try: "Verfluchte Sch----... Du, Manstein, wir wissen das du kein Manstein bist. Bist du sicher, dass Lewinski ueberhaupt ein deutscher Name ist. Wir wissen auch, das du in deiner Kindheit gewisse Zeichen von Imbezilitaet gezeigt hast. Nun wir warten auf dich!!!" Nope. Nothing is working. He will remain in Berlin. Back to our plan then ibb.co/nuDLQ613. British will loose Hamburg as well. Surprise? By no means! We are ready ibb.co/gFUGyRibb.co/cmGUJR14. Ok. Let's get ready to rumble. I have suspicion that I can do it with 3 stars, but for pedagogical reasons I will use a couple more turns ibb.co/gmFdCmibb.co/nLX3dRibb.co/keG756ibb.co/gS8LQ6ibb.co/hr3WXmibb.co/i9zS5615. quod erat demonstrandum ibb.co/frgJCm

I am not sure what's wrong, I tried a few of them and the links are not working

I tried all. All not working. Maybe there is a server error in post image. org

I barely got 1 star with my proverbial Hammer & Sickle, Messe and Leeb (even with underpowered tank tech).
I fight WW1 style, wage a war of attrition. When I have enough income to sustain an offensive in the North, build up of troops to attack Berlin & strategic bomb Manstein, I did so. You really need to directly besiege Manstein to give him 2X demoralise so that his dmg drops by 30% (?). Meanwhile, arty outside the sige ring continues bombardment. Note: Empty city HP first with strategic bombers so he does not have city defense to reduce dmg received. Also, NUKE HIM WHEN CITY HP = 0, DON'T BE A COMPLETE NOOB LIKE ME, NUKING TWICE WHEN CITY HP > 0.

You can't demoralise manstein in this Mission. Berlin has broadcast tower pre installed. Maybe you can show us screenshot.

I think my main issue is I cannot hold the north. Rundstedt always attacks with heavy tanks and artillery and wipes out whatever forces I have there before heading to Cologne. Once I lose the north I get spammed with Field Artillery and Armored Cars making it nearly impossible to keep my rocket artillery alive.
Is there any ways to deal with Rundstedt?

I didn't, quickly went to to recapture the city. Since my allies are launching another major assault,I joined in & nuked him, allowing allies to capture Berlin on turn 26. Note: As of this pic, I have high-end Pacific tech but Messe is pretty much not upgraded.

I've noticed my super tank, despite saying it ha a 50% chance of attacking again after destroying an enemy, is only able to do so about 15% of the time. I'm not sure if it's a bug or I just have really awful luck but I think that is having a big impact on my ability to beat this mission. The Germans are able to produce units faster than I can destroy them which leads me to fight on the defensive rather than offensive.
