I see you're a fan of tactics master. Honestly, while i do like it a lot, i don't feel like it's applicable to all units. My logic behind this is:
Infantry - Unless you have ambush + high dmg, it's not a good practice in the long run. Every attack is almost always counterattacked, and every damage received on your end hurts a lot since you're just an infantry
Cavalry - Its in a better situation than the infantries, but still quite situational, not all the time good. Sometimes the second attack still doesn't open up a path
Artillery - Well this one is the best application, the drawbacks are negligible
Navy - Well you know the drill, artillery vs armor artillery triumphs. Naval artillery is still artillery but if you're not playing conquest or can heal back your ships, this perk is good.
That said, i only apply them to IAPs and artilleries. Also noteworthy combo for the navy is Helmsman + Alert, or do they not stack? I've tried it a few times but can't really notice the difference, gotta keep trying i guess. I plan on having only one aura general of each type because you only get one skill medal of each kind, and having aura upto 3 tiles has helped me a lot so far. That said, i actually separated the escort skill from Scheer just for that purpose. I was planning for Beatty at sea and Hindenburg on land for the defense aura but now that Hipper is in, i might say goodbye on Beatty. The rest of mine are standardized to have the stable output skill, crit chance skill, 20 dmg skill, ambush & surprise strike (go figure the units). Since the free generals aren't all 5 slots, i had to create a spreadsheet just to organize the skills i wanted on them. Hit me up if you wanna see mine.

I use it because there aren’t reallt much better skills. I find Ambush to be bad because it doesn’t trigger often enough, and I feel that although it is a good skill, Tactics Master is a better option than Pierce. |

Tactic Master on inf is good in short fights or for strategies that only require them to live for a few turns. Otherwise it's not that great because inf takes serious damage. They all got low defense and no armor. Rifle is the most common weapon and those deal +20% damage to no armor, and they don't resist other weapons any better. |

Well for me, ambush is an investment. 10%, i must admit it's better off swapped with crit hit chances, but my playstyle with them is to not expect them at all. That way you'll have the very lucky unexpected misses, which is just more wonderful than cover and of course, limited to just infantry. Anyone tried Alert + Helmsman yet? How low could the damage be?

I myself think it is mandatory on artillery and very strong on navy. For cavarly, you have to have a very strong general for it to work. If you do, it will be amazing. If you don’t, it will be pretty terrible. For infantry, i mean why not. Since you use them on machine gunners hitting artillery units twice would be very helpful. Then you retreat them to a temple for them to heal then resume the attack. |

Also cripple artillery. |

Scratch that, Ambush + Tactics Master is much better than Tactics Master + Intercept. Bye Petain, hello Haig.

Is this your dream Petain? Almost. Swap Intercept with Plain Fighting. Yeah when I look at it Intercept isn’t really that great. I mean, two of the more common cavalry units (Light and Hunting) are weak to rifles, but rifle infantry sucks. Their stats are just bad, and they’re helpless against the third common cavalry unit (Breastplate). On the other hand, the (usually) best counter to Breastplate Cavalry and overall the best universal infantry are Light Machine Gunners, but those are useless against the other two cavalry! LMGs have a horrible 75% damage multiplier against light armor. The last infantry worth considering are Heavy Machine Gunners, and those NEED Mountain+Forest and there won’t be any spot for Intercept on that skillset. Don’t even think of using an intercept general against an armored car. |

Don’t even think of using an intercept general against an armored car. Heck, I might get Boroevic just so that I can have someone ideal for HMGs. Just swap Battle Array and Formation Master for Assault and Ambush. |
