I think we can pretty much all agree that the other free generals should be kept the way they are. However, Moltke and Jackson seem to be the controversial ones. Jackson is the best non-IAP cavalry general and it is a sacrifice to not make him OP. Moltke can be useful in history mode and Rupprecht is his only replacement.
So here comes the question: should we invest in their skills and ability to save medals, or get alternatives instead and save them for the campaign challenges?
This question is based on the "cheat trick" mentioned by easytech, that dismissing a general before finishing will not count him to the number of generals we deployed. The free generals are most suitable for this trick since dismissing them won't cost us anything. However, that means we cannot invest in them, at least not by a big amount, until we finish all campaign challenges with such requirement.

I think Jackson first. Plumer's the next natural choice so we can keep Moltke Sr. as the 3rd gen.

The problem is: as what I heard from easytech and jonblend proved, dismissing a general before finishing will not count to the number of general deployed, which makes the free generals excellent choices for the "deploy no more than x generals" campaign challenges. That means we cannot invest much(if any) in them since they are constantly getting dismissed and rehired. |

It's not too much of a setback if we lose coins. Dismissing and hiring a free gen again at the cost of coins only is likely the best bet. |

Jackson is my number one priority in all of my general set.(Beseler,Ivanov,Plummer,Hindenburg,Hipper,Beatty,Robert E. Lee,Staenburg,Moltke and the free ones)
He is currently the only one who is Emperor and Marshal and I changed his useless two skills for better ones.He is really exceptional,I'm really surprised that ET gave this man to us freely and easily.
Moltke is another story,I rarely used him and Sheridan (Plummer and Jackson were enough for the most of the time) but recently I discovered that Moltke is actually really good,once I change his counter attack skill for Edge he will be a great addition to my team.I don't have enough textboox and medal for investing Joseph Jofre or Stepanovic,this is where Moltke shines.I didn't try history mode yet but having and upgrading Moltke is beneficial for it too.

Interesting. I don't know that there is such a cheat trick.
However, I don't think the non-upgraded Moltke or Jackson would be powerful enough.

We all know Jackson isn't that great if we don't swap some of his skills. |

With a hindsight, I would upgrade both of them. IMO, the only campaign with "deploy no more than x generals" that is really troublesome is 'Battle of the Arges,' which having the un-upgraded Jackson or Moltke would not be very helpful.
And not upgrading them means you have to go through everything else with these two weak generals.
