So, I made one of these in EW6 1914, and I wanted to make one for WC3, too.
WW2
Axis
Favorite: Operation Barbarossa, because of how many tactics you can make out of such a plain battlefield. You can split your forces to Kiev and Leningrad, or attack with Guderian in Army Group Centre
Least Favorite: North American Campaign. It's just hard, and actually pretty boring for the only WW2 mission that has nuclear facilities
Allies
Favorite: Operation Overlord, the best performance of AI on both sides that I have ever seen in this game. It is actually pretty interesting.
Least Favorite: Pacific War II, the worst performance your allies will ever give you. If you take Kolkata before the Japanese take Mumbai, then Mountbatten will have ignored Nagumo. If Moutbatten does defeat Nagumo, then Mumbai is captured hella early in the game.
WTO
Favorite: Red Emperor, one of the best and most fun to play missions in the game, if you know what you're doing.
Least Favorite: Energy Crisis, i'm pretty sure everyone hates this mission. You have to split your army three different ways, and if you do not immediately steal your allies' oil, rendering them useless, then you will eventually run out of oil later in the game.
NATO
Favorite: Medditarean War, the best mission in the game, I would say. You have lots of allies, and besides Turkey, they can take care of themselves, while there's just enough challenge to be fun
UNION
Favorite: Enemy Of The North, my type of mission, really. I havent gotten to the Alien Campaign, but I know enough to figure out that you're fighting in Siberia, and that the map is small, tightly packed, and challenging.
Least Favorite: Critical Moment, it just seems like a boring mission. There have been way to many missions in Central Europe.

Mine - Axis - Favorite - Pacific war I You just have to spam submarines all the way and pretty easy mission even without any general. Capture an oil field quickly and your assured 3 stars. I got 3 stars in silver in my first try itself. Hated - North American campaign same as yours STILETT0
Allies - Favorite - Destination Tokyo Easy peasy. Aggressive allies, good units. Doable without generals. 3 star silver with only Badoglio Hated - Battle of Kursk I tried that thing for about 15 times before I was successful Not played much of WTO/NATO |

WW2
Axis side
Most favorite (tied):
6. Operation Barbarossa: Unlike Axis 4 and 7, this campaign does not involve spamming artillery/submarine to win.
Least favorite:
10. North American Campaign: For beginners, Patton on Washington is a shocker, and there is a chance that Guderian (on silver and gold) gets nuked when approaching the city near Denver. For advanced players, Axis 10 is a very long campaign.
9. Pacific War III: Very long campaign. I am very thankful that Brisbane is not included in the map.
Allies side
Most favorite:
9. Destination Berlin and 10. Destination Tokyo: Very challenging, but can be easily completed in bronze.
Least Favorite:
7. Pacific War II: The map is too large. You have to finish the campaign before Yamashita conquers the objective city in India. There is a chance that Nagumo will survive. This is a campaign that seems to be based on RNG.
8. Far East Campaign: The terrain is too rugged. Before you can reach Harbin, the Japanese forces had already worn down your forces.
WTO: I believed that WC3 made WTO campaigns much easier compared to the hellish NATO campaigns.
Most Favorite:
6: Red Emperor: WTO 4 and 5 are easy, WTO 6 is a long but not boring campaign.
1. Korean War (gold): You can farm and farm industry source out of this campaign because it finishes at 6-8 turns.
Least Favorite:
3. Energy Crisis: Auchinleck is a real threat in Egypt. There are no oil fields, so you must have build some oil wonders to cover this problem. Everything else is okay.
NATO: Only Nato 1, 2, and 3 are mildly infuriating. NATO 4, 5, and 6 are ENRAGING for beginners.
Most favorite
2. Mediterranean War: Finishing this campaign gives you the Ion Cannon Laser Facility. Craft enough nukes and you're done.
Least favorite
4. Sea Road: Guderian and Govorov are much needed for this campaign. Soviet Union will nuke Guderian on a super tank at turn 3 when Guderian is within Ankara's missile range. Baghdad and Egyptian city in its west is very hard to capture, especially when Guderian is worn out from the missile strikes and bombardment, and Konev marching downwards to you.
5. Missile Crisis: You have to play tag with the Soviets and the Cuban while they repeatedly capture Miami. The way through land is too rugged, and the coast line in the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico is defended well.
6. Time of Glory (gold): All generals have the health exceeding those of a Marshal.
Union (up until Union 4).
Most favorite:
3. Oil Crisis: This is not friendly to beginners. But by completing this, I am very happy. Might as well post a guide, since the guides existing are too hard for me to follow.
Least favorite:
2. New Threat: It is easier to complete than Union 3, but the cities are too far away from each other. If Bogota does not fall, you have to conquer the level 3 city in the Amazon River. You need to launch multiple missiles, but you do not have enough cities to generate income.
Challenges
Least favorite
Rescue the Ally 6: This is what inspired the thread 1000 ways to die - Timoshenko (https://european-war-4.boards.net/thread/3732/1000-ways-die-timoshenko). Timoshenko will die in many ways, might as well make a Dumb Ways to Die - Timoshenko edition.

Timoshenko will die in many ways, might as well make a Dumb Ways to Die - Timoshenko edition. I'm surprised you got stuck on NATO 5. It's really just build enough nukes, and you've won. If you have trouble keeping Miami, I suggest just having a Field Artillery in there. As for capturing Mexico, I just nuke Zhukov twice, and by that time my navy has wiped out all the troops on Yucatan, so I land Badoglio and Govorov there. This is the easiest NATO mission for me, it's just nuking Havana once, nuking Kuznetskov once, and nuking Mexico City twice, while sending most of your land forces to hold Houston, the only real risk for me. |

I forgot the challenges too
Hold The Ground II is actually my favorite. Dunno why, I just like it
Hold The Ground III is infuriating. If Graziani and Riccardi don't kill you, then Rommel will
Break Through Encirclment IV is extremely annoying. I'm still stuck on this one, and I always will be until I get a navy general that isnt Ozawa
Break Through Encirclement III is actually kinda fun. Steal Shenyang from the Chinese, and then put your arty general on battalion or field. It takes a few tries to get it right, but it works.
Wipe Out The Enemy IV is just absolutely infuriating. Chuikov usually refuses to die, and your Romanian allies are useless, being mastered by Battalion arty Voronov
Wipe Out The Enemy V your allies are useless yes, but I still just find this fun
Save The Ally III I had no trouble with, and that's the problem.
Save The Ally II very challenging, and very fun
Accumulate Supplies II is just low key annoying. If you don't have gold generating wonders and capture the villages really early in the game, then you lose.
Accumulate Supplies III great challenge. One of the best, really

The most enraging part of Rescue the Ally 6 is that in one attempt, McCain managed to reach and kill Timoshenko when he rushed up north and ran out of oil. That was on the last turn. |
