I would like to shed some light on a few generals that are not necessarily very worth or practical purchases, just looking over their skills I feel that they should be appreciated. This is in no way a guide, this is just shedding some light on this handful of very skillful generals (not including Rokossovsky ;) ) Frunze has two that have caught my eye.  Timoshenko is a great general, of course as Erich von Manstein says, anyone who is short on medals, is buying Vatutin, while anyone who isn't is buying Guderian, but he has 5* marching ability, good panzer skills, as well as resupply and a terrain ability that is extremely practical for his mobility. imo, a very good general if used correctly.  Bagramyan is a fantastic general for his price. Of course there is always Messe and Devers, but this man has lvl 4 Tide Of Iron, and explosives, and is asking for 1100? I would much rather Baggy Man than Devers, if you ask me. i'll do two more generals later, since it is only letting me upload 3 images at once. Feedback, as always, is much appreciated! |

next is Arnold and Montgomery  Monty is nowhere near the best tank general, and he never will be. He is a hybrid of air force and armor. His tank skills aren't very good, but that's not his gold, his gold is how you use him. Wipe out or weaken all the strong units with Monty's air ability, and then he will go on a rampage defeating all those weakened units. imo, one of the deadliest enemies of spam, if you use him right. He has lvl 4 supply, great for going on long campaigns with not technologically advanced cities, while he has Ace Forces, making him even more survivable, Desert Fighting, of course that only works in Africa, and that is his habitat. Small cities with airports are his specialty. He is a marshal as well. Of course Erich Von Manstein (I don't want to tag him too much) says not to use him in Cold War, and he is correct. The tactic for keeping generals alive is to keep them away from cities, but Monty lives off of cities, so he'll get missiled very early in the game.  Sooo, Arnold. If it wasn't for Goering, he would be the best land-air general in the game. He has one artillery star, but he has a massive amount of power behind air force, and can march far enough to fit the blitzkrieging way of WC3. He has income expert, making him useful on cities in more ways than one, Supply, making him survivable, as well as fortification and defense tactic, making him not to be trifled with on cities. I wish I could call him the best land-air general without being shot down, because I hate Goering that much. |

Next two: Li Z.R. and Yasuji Okamura  his stars make him look trash, don't they? Boy are you wrong. 230 health, lvl 4 street fighting, defense tactic, and infantry leader. Xue Yue outranks him in stars and overall infantry skill, but he comes as a close second for me. Such a shame he's as expensive as Govorov. Not good for conquests unless holding a fragile position on a place such as Belgium, or Yugoslavia. He isn't amazing, it's just that he impresses me. I'm playing ROC '39, and he is a monster in Peking. Two-shotted Yamashita, in fact, and is was still able to get to Changchun.  Yasuji Okamura never fails to impress me. He may just seem like a Liang with moar health to you guys, but for me, he is something special. He has 3/4 infantry skills, as well as anti-armor. Not a very useful skill in China, but I still admire his power and tankiness that sometimes reaches Yamashita's standards.  Why do I like this guy you ask? I like him for his potential. Under official standards, he is a tank-air general, but he is much more to me. Want to build 3 nukes a round with only Soviet territories? Franco's got you covered. Pop him on Moscow, and watch your steel/gold ratio get so far apart, that you are forced to paraspam in order to reclaim the balance. He is not meant for combat, he will just be a Super Tank with lots of health. He is meant to sit on a city, and boost your income, while firing the occasional missile. He is designed to sustain quite a bit of damage, and his price is actually accurate. If only the max increase didn't stop at 20%, he might have been a worthwhile purchase. As for now Francisco Franco, you will have to be satisfied with my love. |

ah, so he is still here. Just not posting as much. Kuribayashi has been discussed too much, and discarded for his health, good point with Ushijima though. Nagumo would also be good to discuss. |

Why Nagumo? Cunningham exists! Cunnigham is just the British version of Spruance. Of course, I have an affinity for Royal Miltary Academy, (why they all look the same, idunno), You gotta admit that the British navy generals in WC3 are trash, and so is Spruance. There isn't much difference between Cunningham and Pound when you think about it. Both have 2 infantry *'s the difference between *'s in navy is minimal to the quality of the general. Ultimately, if it isn't good on a carrier, or if it isn't Doenitz, then it's useless. |

I agree with you that Kuribayashi is really good. The only one along with Mannerheim. But he is too expensive for an infantry general. |

He and Xue Yue are widely known as the best defending inf. gens in the game. He also disgraced me, the best infantry general there ever was got disgraced by some snipers : ( |
