Wow, that was close. The last Western front Axis campaign is the most challenging so far. My remaining land forces   Yet it was enough to complete it with flying colours   Wow you managed to do it unlike me who is till stuck  , any tips? Well, the problem is that you can't do much for your allies, so you are on your own most of the time. 2 admirals are probably the best way to approach it. And I think that Northern Ireland is the best landing place, but don't expect friendly welcome |

I used 4 stacked Yamashita and Rundstedt and 3 more units of paratroopers but they were killed on a spot. I think it was mistake, I should have sent all available troops to the northern corner of the map... |

Nimitz is near oil field, but he will come when the movement of troops begins. I think that Northern Ireland is the best place for landing. If your fleet is successful enough your allies can take American strongholds. |

And don't waste time with your fleet. Move all available vessels to Ireland immediately after defeating Mountbatten.

Probably, in general, WF is a bit more difficult than Pacific campaigns. I think that all current and future landing missions are the most challenging ones out of all types. Henceforth my prediction that Pacific 1945 will be quite difficult because of quality of available Japanese and American generals. |

Henceforth my prediction that Pacific 1945 will be quite difficult because of quality of available Japanese and American generals. Maybe 1945 pasific axis missions will be defensive and my dual artillery gens can shine? Probably not but that's just my wishful thinking :b also why would you say it'll be more challenging because of the quality of the generals featured? Macarthur and slim are very competent, the same is said for nimitz, mountbatten, and halsey. Meanwhile the Japanese I can understand since they only have 3 good generals but perhaps they'll add more in the future. |

If we compare the lineup to GoG they'll probably add Nagano, Okamura, and/or Shunroku |

It is one thing to have Zhukov, Manstein, Rokossovsky, Patton or Guderian as our allies and another thing MacArthur or Slim notwithstanding how comptent they might be. Neither Americans nor Japanese have a good tank or Artillery general in Pacific. That makes them less valuable as allies imo. |

Well there are occasionally generic nameless generals on tanks who are comparable to tier 3 gens |
