Hey guys, I need some help in beating Rommel’s 40% discount mission. I have 7 generals: Vatutin,Leeb, Konev, Guderian, Nimitz, Rundstedt and Arnold. I always tried doing these missions using Vatutin, Leeb, Guderian and Rundstedt but I always keep losing because the British would always paratroop in to the southern city even if Rommel takes it or if Montgomery kills severely damages my generals before going down so Alexander quickly finishes me off when I start to attack him. Should I swap out Rundstedt with Arnold just for the rumor? How do I beat the mission? Thx

For this mission, relatively high rumor on your main tank/arty generals is recommended. Can you send a screenshot because I kinda forgot about the stage. All I remember is high rumor and push with Rommel in the South.

And what generals/skills on them do you have? So basic idea for this is to let Rommel's Afrika corp take the brunt of the assault and steal the city from him (*Note, if Rommel dies before taking the city, you lose). Afterwards, secure the perimeter and march forward taking out any units that come in your way. Once you reach Montgomery, rumor him but avoid surrounding him as it will only cause more damage to you. Rush Alexander and rumor him down too to take the win. If your tech isn't good enough/generals too weak, then you may still be able to do this but with heavy casualties. There is also the way of attacking Alexander first from the north and then Montgomery which may be quicker and less costly but once again, good rumor is necessary.

For rumor I usually use Arnold for he has level 4 rumor (60%) but he lacks the tank stars do deal the damage I would want

If I remember correctly, the %40 mission allows artillery so Konev's rumor on a RA with %100 retaliation will be really good. Rundstedt is more of less a waste as Infantry is bad in WC4 and Mannerheim is just a bit more expensive but so much better

I made the mistake of not heavily upgrading my gens. My original plan was to get Rommel who will most probably be my late gen then all medals I get after will be used on upgrading everyone. I don’t like using iaps Also. However because of how difficult this mission is, I’m thinking of using my current "Rommel savings" to upgrade everyone’s skills and hp because I seem to be overdue for some upgrades and the just grind again for Rommel

Rundstedt < Mannerheim < Yamashita

Like what I said earlier, I don’t like using iaps so when it came to getting an infantry, I chose Rundstedt cause he is cheaper and does the job well enough. I know infantry is not the best troop type so I just got Rundstedt because he is cheaper and does the job so I can use the other medals on other gens

A bit out of topic. Why does your Leeb have the silver star medal? 😛
