Okay I know this isn't difficult for many but I'm really struggling with this mission. I've tried attack center first, attacking north with Rommel, or attacking south, and everyone of them failed. If I attack the north, by the time I got to the south my force is depleted. If I attack the middle, I would be stuck in an eternal cycle of killing reinforcements and can't go south. If I go south, the allied counteroffensive will wipe out Rommel in the north and I can't take it back. Any advice?

I just attacked South, killed Monty, captured the Southern city, and then worked my way North. Then, I just defended. By attacking South, you can minimize the damage of the paratroopers by anchoring your flanks to the bottom of the map. You need to keep your force concentrated and utilize good positioning to defeat the initial defenses without taking too many casualties. The more units you save, the better because you are going to need to garrison all three cities against an Allied counterattack in the later rounds. |

I perfect cleared this one on like my third try. Here's my advice.
Take the central route. YES you will have to deal with some paraspam but I was able to clear it out pretty well with my Guderian-Yamashita-Leeb trifecta. Rush the central airport ASAP, then grab the city. Do nothing in the north. This is one of the rare missions where your AI allies are actually pretty competent. They will kill Leclerc for you and then sit and defend the city. After you take the Central city rush south as quickly as possible. WATCH OUT FOR MONTY!. Take the airport, use your heavy arty with an elefant to strafe monty, finish him, and then go on the defensive for the rest of the game. You should be good.

I wouldn't recommend going for the north first because yes, your allies are actually good. I also wouldn't recommend going for the middle because there isn't a factory there. |

Okayyyy. Managed to clear Capri with two star, but damn, El Guettar is just rage machine lol ._.
By the time Messe starts to retreat north my Rommel and most units is gone, with only Model Leeb and Bock left, which, isn't enough to clear the Americans, which will target the weaker units like the artillery and they'll just overwhelm Messe and his force. I now fully regret my decision of buying Donitz instead of Yamashita, but now I have to buy allied generals for 44 so e.e. Any tips?

Okayyy. Possible with only Rommel and Leeb along with the freebies? Also my tech is much lower, that being 3/3/4/1/1. And I only have air and infantry badge. |

I did it with 4/4/4/3/4 and only free gens. I never used airforce in the battle so you don't need such a high air level tech. |
