Konev and Bai are both solid options. But in some cases with Bai you might need an infantry general. Making an EC artillery is necessary unless you have Manstein since free fast high damage artillery general does not exist. The only real cases where you might need an infantry general is if you are playing as s one star nation like cuba that starts out super weak imo Agreed. Bai is solid and fast, but he is the only art capable of travelling 3 hexes. You will still need him And let's not forget those alien challenges which give you two commandos but not enough tanks and artilleries. The additional infantry is for that purpose. |

No donāt sell anyone for your ecs. You do that, you might as well restart then and there. And thats true, I neglected the alien missions that require infantry generals. Maybe Mannerheim and Bai is the best choice, than build ecs. Konev is a solid general. Point is you need 1 or more academy generals before it is recommended to start building ecs

The only real ec you need is a tank one, but then patton is good for aliens whereas timo is good for cold war. |

I agree.It came to my thoughts that since its all historical events(except 1975),its more satisfying to play academy gens instead of ecs.Maybe ecs are like avatars which we diy ourselves.. |

Ecs can be very strong. But guderian as an ec costs 7750 medals same strength. You will make generals with tide of iron/artillery barrage at lvl 2, maybe lvl 3 at most at best. I agree. |

Sell one ONLY when your EC to take his place is ready. It makes no sense to sell Konev/Bai without a solid artillery EC. |

Raider lvl 4 is really good (amazing even) coupled with supply and even camoflauge, but guerilla and pf are great as well. Mannerheim is a bit imo universally so I think he is a smarter choice. But vasilevsky can be good as well |

What do you think about Zhu? Or when is promoted to marshal? On paper he seems great, but his output is very lacking. I have used him personally and was pretty dissappointed. Guerilla lvl 4 is not that good. Its kind of good but not enough. The lvl 4 raider camoflauge and 5 inf stars Mannerheim has is well worth the effort. I agree though, i used to hate vasilevsky with a passion. Now when I use him, he is pretty solid (although starts to suck below 50%) on a motorized. |
