Is he absolutely necessary? A hybrid isn't enough? Yes if you want to have a easy time perfect clearing 1942, 1945? Not so much. To add on, I perfect cleared 1942 with just the free gens, but many people on the board struggle with naval battles, so they bought Nagumo/Donitz. You're definitely going to need a good naval gen for 1945. I have watched youtube videos of 1945 missions and a hybrid is not going to cut it. |

eeeeef, Yes they can, but de Gaulle can easily hold a city and can morph from offensive to defensive fairly quickly. Also, congrats on your first Guru Rank. Also de Gaulle isn't a perfect gen but is worth while in the long run as a support to a larger army or as a city holder with 2 infantry which, unless they really beat you down (Guderian on heavy with near endless waves), you will be able to manage fairly with ease.

Awww thanks  . Also if I need a city defender who can replenish morale I'd use Dowding. |

Yeah, I can understand that de Gaulle is a support gen who makes it easier for other troops to hold cities. But, that's a pretty small niche; doesn't really make sense to give a general deployment slot to de Gaulle. |

Dowding (usually on infantry) hits very weakly and can be taken out easily unlike de Gaulle (usually on tank) who can hit decently abd have a pretty, if not extended lifetime 2. I don't like air gens in general 3. De Gaulle is the best support gen, Dowding is mainly an air oriented gen that doesn't fight, rather stays on the airport to shoot the enemies from afar,wheras De Gaulle can fight and be part of the battle |

De Gaulle is probably getting the orange. He is super expensive and non of his skills are any good imo.
I mean for allies we have vatutin, montgomery, patton, and rokossovsky who are really good. You also have Leclerc and Devers who can consistently trigger panzer leader.
De Gaulle just seems pretty meh imo. If you want a city defender so much, why not Blamey or Smigly.

That's a very specific niche that alot of generals can fulfill for 900 medals don't you think? |

Does needing to play defense happen enough to need to buy that 905's ugly mug |

You have 6 slots for the average endgame campaign, I severely doubt de gaulle can find a place in there. |

Pretty much this, but I wouldn't recommend Devers, Blamey, nor Smigly. A good city defender is Model. |

eeeeef, I mean, depends on the mission, if I have to take an objective, forget about it ! But if I need to keep allies alive or hold several cities, de Gaulle is way up on my list. Also, he might be on the general line-up, he has beem on several as a representative of the French so you never know.
