I'd say, the easiest Amry group would be German A in Africa, the one in Greece. High economy, large army with pretty weak enemies and most importantly, Rommel ! I tried it and it was hard. I prefer the Italians. As long as you keep Rommel alive and stick to the coast, Egypt will be a breeze. All you have to do after that is invade the French and voilà |

After some considerations I decided to collect my rewards for beating African AG. Rommel's Army Group is indeed an easy one and it is possible to beat it under 20 turns, if we can establish a base in Tunisia quite early in the game.  Man, I don't want to play other AG, because I find this mode quite boring, but rewards are pretty darn good... |

The Axis 39 Army Groups are heavily favored against the Allies. Poland usually gets killed even if you play on the Axis side, just takes longer. (Kinda Historically accurate I guess) .. So I think most Axis 39 factions are easy.
I think 41 is the most fun and balanced on both sides.
In 42 I think German A is the easiest but I haven't tried all the factions cause I really got bored of this mode. Also I auto-battle everything soooo yeh :/

Also 17 turn German A. |

Why does nobody like this mode? I find it better than WC4 conquests. It has a lot of strategy, good rewards, historical accuracy, awesome technology cards... What's not to love?

Boring, AI is unbalanced and unpredictable and with the exception of "41 axis tend to have an almost insurmountable advantage. |

Superboring as it is extremely easy. AI provides no challenge at all. You don't even need to make it fast as it is from the very start of the game could be beaten very fast (turnwise). At the same time it is time consuming and You have to play it to grind resources. It is very strange that they returned to this concept as it is very old and obsolete one. The very first game in the EW series EW:Guns&Generals (iirc) and EW:American War was using that. It was the same in EW3 and EW5. And most of the feedbacks for EW5 conquest were the same: boring and time consuming with no fun in the end. |

WC4 conquest is the same as modern type conquests (WC3, EW6) - full freedom. Totally different approach. There You can try different strategies. In the Army Group mode Your moves are programmed. You need to capture factories and Your usage of Forced march/Airlift and paradrop is dependent from that. And the worst thing is that AI can't predict that. |

I mean no disrespect, but I just have a differing opinion. |

Here You need nothing. You only need to use force march or airlift and a single infantry delivered into the enemy's rear cripples its defense. |

Why is it not true? In 1939 for example You use Airlift/Mass Airlift/Force March and couple of prepared paradrop infantry units and all the british production capacity provinces are captured in 1-2 turns. Britain is effectively killed in 2 turns. It's ridiculously easy. No fun. |

I go full amphibious assault after securing naval dominance because I don't have the funds to kill every unit in London and still have enough to secure your Londonese position. |
