So, I have been noticing it for a while, but now I think I got it and wanted to share it with you.
I have seen that when we play conquest and campaigns, we get medals randomly (I assume). But sometimes, I see something different. I see that a blue circle, with golden design surrounding pops up randomly, just as we get medals. I got confused as there is nothing of that type of medal. Yesterday, when I observed it carefully, it was actually two semi-circular arrows, making a circle, similar to academy refresh. Immediately, I went to the headquarter and saw that it was indeed an extra academy refresh. I had only one at that time and when I checked out, I found that I had two then.

Yes, it is. Taking out gens gives the largest %.
You can grind for a Refresh will doing a Medal grind. Suggestions include Austerlitz / Three Emperors (not sure if it's either of the two or both) and Trafalgar.

For immediate beginners, who don't have any campaign progress, they can try out France 1815 as it has many immediate incoming enemies. Austerlitz includes grinding through your way through the whole mission and it is also good as it has many generals. Moreover, I even gained 23 medals with the 15 medals for completing that mission. |

Just replay Fire of Revolution and kill Davout, which gives you 1-3 refresh.

Playing conquest gives a sense of progress and fun too. Another viable alternative is to setup a save/load where you kill multiple (5-6) enemies in a single round, once again, in the fire of revolution as it has many weakened units. I am sure there was a thread on this. I will post it here once I found it. BTW, welcome to the forum and I hope you find this incredible forum enjoyable. |

Davout & Moreau is no doubt the easiest setup. For setting up a refresh grinding save, my personal favorite is 1798 France since most enemy generals around are pretty weak. I have a save with Rowland, Wilhelm III, August I, Hotze, Ferdinand, Dobeln, Bachmann, Davidovich, Klenau, Archduke Charles, and Rosenberg all ready to slaughter in the same turn. 1 refresh every 3 loads.

Erich von Manstein ,if I am not wrong, you posted in a thread about how to set up a save/load in the fire of revolution. Can you post it here? It will be helpful. You could even make a thread on how to make a s/l for refreshing. It will be helpful.

For that one, just block Moreau's way north then be careful not to kill either one of them too early. I was being lazy at the time and didn't bother with the other generals on the battlefield. |

Wow, this seems to be the best Academy refresh forcing advice that I ever read! Thank you for sharing! |

One note:
As much as I know, a double formation gives double the amount of Rank experience and Academy refresh than a single one.
I assume that it will be tripple for a tripple formation. (unproved)

(unproved) This seemed like it would be pretty easy to test, so I went ahead and tried it just now: Regular unit single: 2/3% Regular unit double: 4/3% Regular unit triple: 2% General single: 4/3% General double: 8/3% General triple: 4% So generals on triple units are extremely lucrative, and having a save with just two of them would be really useful. Generals on double units are also very good. Keep in mind only infantry can have triple formation so there will be less of them |

Good detective work! I have always wondered what the floating circle is.

If not conquest, we could choose a campaign where most of the generals are on infantry. In this, my preference - Battle of three emperors. |

Battle of Austerlitz has 4 triple formation gens, if you can get them all almost dead in one save then thatβs probably the best grinding you can get. I did that just now, it isnβt too difficult. |

A good save at the right time can really do wonders. Be it medal or rank/nobility or academy refresh grind. |
