Yeah, I have failed doing this in the past but will try it again a few times. The problem is I cannot hold any city for more than 1 or 2 turns max. It’s like 1 militia vs the entire German army + USSR + Austria-Hungary. Also the lack of gold means I cannot even build a militia each turn, or perhaps one for one city but then the other ones fall. If I send my strong generals to take cities they attract aggro and get killed, if I use them to defend cities they also get axed... And btw I am playing with maxed tech and maxed gens. you should try to finish achievements for conquest challenge before doing belgium because that won't give you any extra rewards. if u have maxed gens and tech, u should try to do conquest 1917 with greece, i wrote a guide for it, its hard but i was able to do it after many tries and it gives u cav attack training

Ok I will try some of these, thanks. Re. conquest challenges, I stopped after a few turns, allies are so useless it is quite frustrating. Might try again just thinking it is me vs the world...

Might try again just thinking it is me vs the world... your allies are weaker than your enemies, so you need to rush and capture enemy cities fast. that is the only way to win. think of conquest challenges as speed conquests. you need to hit fast and hard to weaken enemy's economy so allies can survive and grow.

just work on maxing your generals - get high rank (farm silver medals) and get all the best skills. don't bother doing conquest challenge before getting strong generals. also don't max tech if you havn't already. i only maxed attack and mobility, keep health and defence low so enemy's defence and health is not too high.

You mean the ennemy AI stats depend on your own stats? All my gens are maxed... still finding it too much of a grind

Wow, didnt know that, I have to say this is a pretty stupid feature imo. Now I understand why not maxing HP and def makes sense! Too late for me though, already maxed all my tech. In terms of gens I am pretty happy with my line up, all stats (rank and HP) and skills more or less maxed, not perfect for sure but I enjoy playing them like this in campaign or normal conquest: lee (set up as a tank with inf commander, cover, ambush, etc), straubenburg (set up as offense with plain, jungle), jackson (double attack, plain, jungle, mountain, alert), plumer (cav comm, jungle, mountain, alert), hindenburg (defensive arty with def formation and cover and then the normal skills), beseler (offensive arty with double attack, plain, mountain and jungle), hipper, beaty. Most have ambulance or tent + best attack item.

Most have ambulance or tent + best attack item. you can only deploy 10 generals in conquests. i recommend you go with 4 cav (plumer, jackson, i would get johnston and use molke - free), 3 artillery (hindenburg, ivanov and beseler, give one of them arty commander - boosts damage of all arty nearby), 1 infantry and 2 navy.

Idk. Well if you have 12 gen in conquests 2navy is good enough.
