Balkans Campaign (Axis):
Phase 1: Rescuing Albania
Place Messe on the armoured cars and deploy a Prince Eugen.
Place Model on a 3X inf and place a Wilking. The other inf unit should be given transports.
Add transports to the heavy arty.
Attack the city directly south of you.
Then, move against Sarajevo. The fall of its city centre triggers the first expansion.
You'll be given command of the troops north of Tirana.
From the port, your main aim is to deploy all the navy reinforcements. Their goal is to focus fire on the nearest British ships, then Mountbatten, other escorts, followed by the aircraft carrier.
Place Bock on the new armoured cars.
If you have an arty gen, deploy him on the arty unit. Give it transports.
The inf unit(s) should be given transports and 3X stacked to the best you can (send them in if you need to wait for the necessary Economy to be accumulated to stack the other unit).
From the new city, summon 2 more inf reinforcements. The first will be equipped with the Pioneer and the other with Jaegers.
March the troops to flank the Greek attackers.
Your ships are to fire upon the armoured cars / arty.
Occupy the Tirana airport with Model to provide air cover.
Your other troops at Sarajevo are to march along the coast at their fastest pace. Leave the interior and other coast to your allies.
Cross the river with your most mobile troops. Send those who are blocked into the sea, if needed, to flank Saranda. Support the attack with Badoglio.
Occupy Saranda.
Phase 2: The Battle of Taranto and the Battle of Greece
Pick off the incoming British ships with your combined naval firepower. Take the Saranda port to spawn the sub, if needed, or to heal your ships.
At the same time, use your Pioneer to build coastal arty. When the coast is covered, try to sail him towards Italy to build one more there. The rest of the inf, except Model, are to man the coastal arty.
March your army towards Ioannina. If you can, detach a part of them to attack the city south of Saranda simultaneously.
The airport at Ioannina is for Model to provide continuous air cover for the ground fighting.
When the naval threat is dealt with, launch an amphibious crossing to attack Patras. Support with air and naval firepower.
The Jaeger is a reserve unit to be parachuted into Patras to meet the time limit from the Ioannina airport, if needed.
For Bock, stack him instead of healing.
If you've other useful Special Forces, don't hesitate to use them.

Adding onto Nobunaga Oda's guide, Model is helpful, but not necessary. All you need are Bock and Messe. I put Bock on an artillery and Messe on a heavy tank after taking Saranda. But do not try to take Patras via naval landing, the enemy is prepared and will sink all of your transport ships. Air support is too costly and your navy will be busy defending Campioni. You're better off saving up enough money to kill the enemy unit in Patras with fighters and taking the city with a paratrooper. Sure, the paratrooper is going to die immediately after, but that's a necessary sacrifice to complete the sub-condition in time. Once you clear out the British navy, Campioni and allied troops in Taranto will naval invade Patras. After your troops take Athens, you should have enough money saved up to repeat the fighters + paratrooper strategy to retake Patras.

Do not split up your forces. Buy all naval reinforcements and the heavy tank. Head for Patras after protecting campioni.

Do not split up your forces. Buy all naval reinforcements and the heavy tank. Head for Patras after protecting campioni. On the contrary, it's not a good idea to buy all the naval reinforcements. You are going to need more army reinforcements than just a heavy tank and once you clear out the British navy, Campioni and the troops in Taranto will naval invade Patras. Buying all the naval reinforcements is overkill and will clog the sea, preventing your allies from landing troops. |

Hi all, I made it with a mix of the above strategies. I did buy all the naval reinforcements and the heavy tank but no extra infantry. Just replenish and recruit All your units when needed. After defending Campioni I bombarded Patras and sacrificed an infantry with a parachute drop. Then I went with the remaining troops to Athens.
