Hi all, I need help with this mission. My tech is naval 4 and air force 2. Generals: nagumo, ozawa, rommel, guderian and model.
I know there's a guide for this mission, but it doesnt work for me. My allies always die in the west, and my own ships get destroyed even before I get to reach kinkaid
Been stuck at this forever, I have completed everything (conquests, united front, perfect clear 1939 1941). Did anyone use a different strategy for this mission? The current one doesn't seem possible. Or should I buy donitz and/or yamamoto? I already have montgomery and rommel with most german tech maxed so I'm not going to do that badly for 1943

Strangely in the forum guide the player has many starting naval units (its only possible to buy 2 ships on turn 1? and yet the player has like 3-4 extra non NPC ships? wut)

Should I buy Yamashita? With model in the west my non gen inf is too weak to survive long. 2. My Western fleet doesnt exist lol, even with Ozawa destroying all coastal artillery inf my allied naval units get wiped out quickly 3. If I protect Nagumo (battleship) the rest of my fleet gets destroyed by the naval spam, if I hold back my smaller ships and try to pick the enemy spam off with Nagumo they just rush up and destroy Nagumo

Your tech and generals should be sufficiently good. This is what I did. In the east side, I send Model on a paratrooper infantry to capture the coastal gun on the southernmost island. Just Model alone can deal a huge damage on the Allied ships, including kinkaid. At the same time, I send Guderian on Taurus Corp engineer to the small island (with a port) on the west side. This should take 2 turns to reach the island and the third turn to get on and build a coastal gun. The Allied infantry on the island should be killed by then. If not, use fighter from your carrier. Just this Guderian on Taurus Corp with coastal gun is enough to make your friendly AI win on that side. To make sure, you can send another infantry there in case Guderian die fast. Tip1 : Use submarine extensively and try to keep them alive. Tip2 : Ships without anti-air are priority targets for torpedo bomber. Ships with anti-air are priority targets for submarines. My tech levels for both Air and Navy are 2. My generals are Ozawa on a battleship, Guderian on an engineer, and Model on a paratrooper. Additional units I get from supply are submarine 2x and a destroyer

Thanks for all the help, but Im still unsure about the part about not rushing.
I know this strat works well, since many other missions require this (e.g. Army Group Centre 1941 while capturing Uman, Army Group mode when attacking enemy groups). For some reason, I try to use one ship to lure the enemy close, but that works too well as all the other enemy units (including those out of range in the fog of war) rush forward and destroy me (not to mention Eastern inf). Its like a hornets nest, when I poke at it the whole horde swarms and wipes out my Eastern units. Even Nagumo out of range in the battleship dies by turn 10 since his support units have been wiped out
Idk if I'm doing something wrong, i'll find time to have another try at this (ill upgrade air tech to level 3) and post pictures if I still fail
