Replacing Cover and Counterattack with Mountain Fighting and Tactics Master will make him as good as Boroevic. If you have bought Petain (Who allows you to use a maximum of 10 generals), buying Macmahon and Johnston is a good idea since they can be as good as the best generals of their class. Actually I do agree. Robert E Lee can be made pretty good, but he will not be useful in history mode. Maria and Macmahon can be just as good or even better than Robert and are useful in history mode. Haig is unneeded as we already have Nicholas I, who is haig minus ambush. But since there are very few amazing austrian generals for history mode (only Borevic, Krasnik, and Straussenberg), Borevic seems to be a really good buy. MacMahon might not be useful in history mode though, he's dead long before WW1 |

Hotzendorf got me nearly to end game.Original skillset.Tho he's no longer as glorious he used to be He used to be great before textbooks came out and the terrain mobility bonus. Now he is meh. Its his 4 skill slots that hurt him. I’d rather have radko dimitriev tbh True,but at that moment we didn't know there would be mobility bonuses so he wouldn't be the top choice and only a duke.If only he was made a prince with slightly higher price.. |

If ET doesn’t allow us to use Petain and Foch, or doesn’t introduce new French generals, we will be forced to do it with Joffre and Esperey, both of which are bad generals. I would say it’s impossible without pouring a ridiculous amount of textbooks.

Imo that automatically makes him purple as he is both mandatory and straussenberg level of good |

If you are forced to buy Joffre he isn’t a purple for me. |

I even had him in orange before I realized he would be useful in history mode. Around 75% of the other available cav generals are leagues better than him. |

I meant that Macmahon isn’t a purple for me since you can’t clear the French mission by buying him alone. |

Tbh, this guy is not worth getting except for history mode. But again, you have Esperey as an inf general. Straussenberg will do.

I think he is an excellent gen, with jungle fighting (excellent for inf) Assault and ambush (2 best inf skills) counterattack ( mathematically best flat dmg skill, because it can be triggered multiple times in a round, as opposed to just one). Cover is bad, but it does add an extra skill slot.
