Battle Of Crete = Hell

Try to utilise land forts and coastal artillery to give your infantry 3 range

I finally beat it. I used a different strat from another guy. But 1939 is finally done.

Utilise engineering Infantry to construct coastal Artillery to bomb the enemy

Then use trenches, bunkers,and land forts to improve defense and extensively recruit and replenish infantry stacks to outlast the enemy

I did it with free generals and lvl 1 infantry and armor. First I put Leclerc on medium tank in south and Cunningham at triple stacked infantry at the city in left. First I cleared the paratroopers and also destroyed the submarine in left by using both ships and some air support. When student arrived, I took the artillery from center to left using the infantry and the tank, I killed him and his comrades quickly. After this, it is fairly easy. I used heavy tank and another ship as reinforcement. Finally I had to paratrooper my center city because of a river which slowed me to defend my center city. I did not build any fortifications.

This is how I won, it combines a few strategies. 

First, you want to parachute the infantry on your left airport to the upper left. All you have to do is scout where the piece of land is, turn your infantry into a parachute regiment, and land there. Then, you want to torpedoe bomb student twice. Put Leclerc on the tank it use it like usually. Move your ships to attack the submarine on the right. (Doing this instead of attack the one on the left allows you to destroy the whole enemy navy.) At Chania, move your heavy artillery to the left, move your light artillery to where your heavy was, and attack the parachute Jaeger. Heal your infantry in the city, and attack the jaeger with your two infantry. On turn 4 you want to have your troops around Chania like this (you want the enemy troops at the top to be destroyed, I just took the picture like this because I didn't have time)




Your reinforcements should be the 80 dollar ship (as soon as possible,) heavy tank, and torpedoe bombers (to use on student.) Hope this helps

You may want to clear out United Front for some Badges first to upgrade your tech and Special Forces. In a worst case scenario, I think the common AA Special Force can prevent paratroopers from landing in the grids right next to the unit.

This may delay the landing of the enemy paratroopers or disperse them.
