Contrary to the normal conquest, France 1861 Challenge is much more difficult!
Generals used (attached)
Ivanov on starting howitzer near capital (Dogfight level vi is very, very, very useful)
Besseler on starting howitzer near capital
Hindenburg on starting howitzer on the island
Plummer on starting guard cavalry on the island
Johnston on armoured car built later
Straubenberg on starting old guard by the capital city
Hipper on the starting battleship by the capital city
Beatty on the starting battleship to the far east
Leopold on the starting howitzer to the far east
Bacon (Surpised?) on an ironclad/battleship built later
Phase 1
Defeat Colombia and Venezuela in the first 5-7 turns (8 maximum!) while the fleet far west rushes to Spain and bombards Santiago (Spanish capital). Spain should fall by turn 12-15.
Phase 1b
While fighting the Spanish send the rest of your generals (all except Leopold and Hipper) up through Mexico and try snatch some Mexican cities from the Confederates.
Phase 2
Around turns 20-30, the confederate spam should be pushed back and 3-4 gens eliminated. Snatch Richmond, Washington and New York if you can. Build an armoured car by Richmond/Washington and place Johnston on it.
Send the troops fighting the Spanish (if they are still surviving) to help defend Cuba. If Cuba falls, snatch Havana.
Phase 3 (End)
The rest is just pushing back the British, Canadian, and Iroquois spam and taking cities.
The conquest should take around 50 turns.
