It was quite a difficult mission before I decided to rethink my strategy completely. At first sight the obvious target seems to be Dijon.  We can relieve some pressure from France, but Germany has enough resources to fight both adversaries and virtually it will become a bloodbath. Therefore I prefer a double envelopment instead. First targets are cities in the north and south. We have to cut all supply lines from Prussians   Group 1 of my generals begins its movement immediately   After repealing the initial Prussian counterattack Group 2 of my generals begins its movement as well    Both groups meet each other at Paris  Dijon is isolated and weak  The end of the game  |

It did't work for me. I tried to take southern and northern cities but Prussians conquered Paris very fast and moved towards me without taking into account that I didn't conquered Dijon  I only managed to complete it within 24 turns using this strategy. Maybe wasn't fast enough with taking those cities on the Prussian flanks. So for 3 stars I took Dijon and spawned line infantry to hold, while my gens focused on killing Moltke in melee and taking other towns. I wasn't attacking Bismark, just surrounded him with line infantry (near Dijon) to cause double morale drop and killed him as last objective. And part of the Prussian army with Roon was fighting the french till the end of the mission. |

Something like that I broke my leg so there is nothing to do and it is a good possibility not to think about it |

I took the time to finish the campaign. I tend to follow orders so I listened to Garibaldi and took dijon first.   |
