The moral of the story: Opinions on allied generals are very split. Yep. Doesn't help that we only have two endgame tank gens for the axis: Guderian and Rommel. Not counting Manstein, of course. Graziani is pretty decent |

Tassigny, in my opinion, is pretty good. Good price performer, decent skills and is in one of the line-ups. MOntgomery is, if anything, underrated. He is in 3 line-ups (as I've seen, haven't got to pacific 1945), as pretty good skills, is a beast on KV-6 and can(if no tanks are made available) be used as an airforce gen.

Tassingy is good, but he's outclassed by Slim who also appears in the line-ups. I have never seen anyone argue that Monty is underrated though, it's either that he deserves his ranking or he is overrated. |

I have never seen anyone argue that Monty is underrated though, it's either that he deserves his ranking or he is overrated. I think appearing in 3 out of 5 campaign line-up is pretty good. Also, his versatility between being someone who can hold a city and someone who can take one is much deserved. Tassigny is pretty good because the fire-suppresion and guerilla helps him survive longer and makes a "safety net" in case his guerilla fails. |

Tassigny is pretty good because the fire-suppresion and guerilla helps him survive longer and makes a "safety net" in case his guerilla fails. Tassigny appears in western 1939, north african 1941, and western 1944. Slim appears in pacific 1942 and pacific 1945. Western 1939 is negligible, so they are equal there. Slim has the same versatility that you describe of Tassigny. I'm of the side that fire suppression and guerilla are working against each other. Also, I wouldn't consider fire-suppression to be a safety net because Tassigny has the weaker version that only reduces damage by 20%. Last of all, Slim does more damage consistently, which is ultimately his trump card. |

That doesn't make any sense! Tassigny didn't even fight in the North African theater, but he appears there. He participated in Operation Dragoon and commanded the French 1st army. Yet, he doesn't appear in Western 1944! |

Now if Slim can give damage consistently, I have my trump card which is he receives damage much more consistently than Tassigny. |

True, but I argue Tassigny's fire suppression (20% damage reduction when initiating combat) < Slim's reserve (Replenish 50% more HP) |

I guess that's a good option if you hate MacArthur. The debate on Tassigny really comes down to whether you see Guerrilla + Fire Suppression as working against each other or fire suppression working as a backup for guerrilla. |

Well, Yamamoto appears in Pacific 1945 campaigns... Two years after his death  I guess ET care more about balance than such "minor" facts  |

Guerrilla is the stronger skill, so fire suppression is supporting it. That being said tho, 12 extra base attack is better than victory rush so slim will do more or the same damage most of the time. |
