NOTE: This guide are for those who are following Erich von Manstein's guide for new players already in the late game.
Union 3 Oil Crisis
You are playing as Iran. Tehran has level 4 factory, level 3 airport and a nuclear facility. You have one super tank, one rocket artillery, one commando, one field artillery, and one heavy tank. You need to protect Ankara and Medina while capturing Cairo and Riyadh, and destroying two alien fortresses. Ankara and Medina will going to be besieged by aliens, and a fortress near Ankara will block your way.

GENERALS
You do not need to promote any of the generals
Govorov: Fortress cracker, siege of Riyadh
Guderian: Capture of Jerusalem and later, defense of Ankara
Patton: defense of Ankara
Konev: Capture of Jerusalem and later, defense of Ankara
Badoglio: Fortress cracker, siege of Riyadh
Rommel: The Desert Fox
I did not use Goring, since I only need to craft enough nukes to finish the game.

Also, you need to build all gold, steel, and oil wonders. Additional 60 gold and steel per round will yield 960 gold and steel, enough to make three atomic bombs. You need to craft at least four nukes for this campaign.
GUIDE
1. Deploy Guderian on the super tank, Konev on the field artillery, Govorov on the rocket artillery, and Rommel on the heavy tank. Craft one rocket artillery and deploy Badoglio there.
2. Kill the three aliens near Iran. Whenever you get enough gold and steel, craft one atomic bomb. You will need two for nuking Cairo. After killing the three aliens, send Guderian, Rommel, and Konev ahead and capture Jerusalem. Mahdi may help you, but never let him capture Jerusalem. Beware that aliens are smart enough to let your dumb ally capture the strategic city (happened to me once when cracking Madrid, Portugal captured it instead). Badoglio and Govorov will crack the fortress near Ankara to buy some time.
3. After capturing Jerusalem, nuke Cairo twice, and capture it, but make sure that no more than one alien battleship (the one that doesn't have Assault) is near Cairo. Send Badoglio, Govorov, and Rommel to capture Riyadh. Craft more nukes, you will need two to destroy the west fortress. Konev and Guderian will anticipate the destruction of Ankara. Capture it as soon as it falls and deploy Patton there to defend along with Guderian and Konev.
4. Send Govorov, Rommel, and Badoglio to crack the eastern fortress. Nuke the western fortress twice. Finish them using ballistic missiles.
I admit, finishing this mission involves some RNG (Medina will not get captured, Cairo will not be surrounded by aliens and Ankara will be just empty for you to capture and deploy Patton on the next round in a perfect gameplay). But it is not purely RNG, I am sure that this guide gives you a rough walkthrough on finishing Oil Crisis. I finished it on the 14th turn. You may also experiment switching Rommel and Guderian's deployment.
