I argue that there is no such thing as a bad buy in this game. If you get someone, that means that you are willing to spend the medals to get him. Even, say, Kuchler has some use, notably on a Gebirgsjager. The only thing a gen can be is more or less situational. I would like to get some gens that many people say are bad. Anyone?

He's actually underrated. |

Kuchler on a Gebirgsjager? Doubling down on mountain buffs is not worth putting Kuchler on infantry and using such a terrible special force. Besides, generals that are more situational are more of being a bad purchase. If you really want a low-tier gen though, you could get Kleist and Krueger. Max Machinist and Leadership. |

... No.
"The only thing a gen can be is more or less situational": This is actually straight up saying that some people are better than other people lmao. Not to mention that your example of Kuchler having use is horrible as even in his best enviroment other people do better. That's +15 damage and +2 defense. You can get a guy that has +32 damage and has higher movement and has other forms of survivability. Even if Kuchler did this and could match Yamashita he'd still be inferior since generalists > specialists. Having to be in this situation is a downside as you can't always utilize it and you often have to sacrifice something to do so too. Usually positioning.
So I completely disagree and I'd argue that there indeed are bad buys if you as a player is just trying to beat the game. Though actually intentionally getting sub-optimal people just because you want to is totally fine. Just don't argue that that's efficient.

However, In his best environment, he is a very solid Price Performer. A gen can be a very good price performer and still not be one of the best gens. |

Then acknowledge that getting him in his best environment is a weakness and evaluate him now in the grand scheme of the game. Do you care to spend resources (not just medals, deployment slots on generals and SFs) on a person who can do apply less than half the benefit in a specific situation that someone else can basically independent of the situation? Does that sound like a cost efficient use of resources to you? |

Also just the premise of there not being bad investments in strategy games is incredibly unlikely. Since that means that there exists no such thing as efficient vs inefficient decisions you can make in regards to your resources.
