I can't beat it! I can't fight Kleist's Maus and the Karl behind him. He's always sitting on a factory and replenishing.
I use have Rokossovsky as additional general apart from the other given ones. I have 3/3/3/2/2 tech. I upgrade the heavy artillery to Katyusha with Chukov sitting in it and the heavy tank to KV-6 with Rokossovsky.
(I feel like the KV-2 should have been the heavy tank force and T-34/85 the regular tank force, but that is another subject...)
I put Timoshenko in a KV-2 and Alexander in an artillery at the right.
I am trying to beat Kleist before turn 8.
For me it is a hard one for sure! Any advice?

Try killing Messe and Kleist within the first 2 to 3 turns before he gets to the factory, once he does, it's game over. Do you have any other gens ? |

I only have Rokossovsky as additional Allied general. I tried going all out on the first few turns, but it hasn't worked. I am using the KV-6's and Katyusha's indirect fire to hit Kleist without getting hit back. On the right I attack the peripheral units slowly from a distance then rush to kill the heavy artillery, afterwards I retreat back and wait for the reinforcements that will come after defeating Kleist. |

Yeah, it's a good guide, but for to my esrs it sounds like "use Patton and MacArthur". Which is definetly a good idea, although just not possible for me right now. |

Well, I finally beat it! I think it might have been pure luck though. I used Chuikov, Rokossovsky, Timoshenko on the right against Kleist, whil against Messe on the left I used Alexander and Leclerc.
I sacrificed Timoshenko and his tank on a suicide mission on turn 6 or 7 (not sure). His service was an honour to the Motherland.(2 minutes of silence.)
The rest was easy, but stressful since I didn't want to restart the mission because of one forgotten surviving enemy infantry.
I moved my troops from the Kleist front between Messe and his port just after defeating Kleist, leaving the bare minimum to capture Tunis.
Now to do the Allied * missions! I hope I won't have to start a thread for them.

Unless you are thinking about armored car generals.  |
