Mission Objective and Overview -
You are in about to land in Egypt (all your troops are close to the land, but in sea). You need to capture Cairo and the port of Alexandria.
Generals used - Victoria. Kate is even better as I used Victoria only for naval support. But neither of them are necessary.
This mission was a hell for me in the first try because I directly went and landed on Alexandria. I just started out on EW4 then, but since land troops have a disadvantage in water, it is recommended to land quickly.
First land at the shores and capture some farms ASAP!! Your army will starve without food. Capture the farms and upgrade them. On the shore, put Desaix in the lead and let Marmont and Napoleon follow. They both will blast the smithereens of the enemy whereas Desaix will capture the farms, stables and cities. It's ok if the rest of your army doesn't catches up. Once you have captured the cities, put some units on them. You need not recruit them. Put them at least temporarily. This is because Pasha will attempt amphibious landing on Egypt.
On the sea, send Victoria immediately to destroy the small British convoy. You literally toy with them as they can't attack from range. Your remaining navy will control the seas and destroy any unit attempting to land. The general at Cairo will take some time to destroy. So focus all your army on him. Once done, siege Alexandria with your artillery and ships and capture it.
For the extra objective, you can play the mission again and destroy the ship at the northern edge of the map.

Fortunately, you didn't had to deal with the Royal Navy, unlike IRL  |

Nice, only one thing:
It is not necessary to expicit capture and even upgrade farms in this mission. The frech army consumes 101🍖 and starts with 1200, If you don't accidently capture a farm, there will be no food shortage before R14.
Abercromby and Sidney attack me, Nelson is the extra objective. britannia is not completly absent.--

Yes the Royal Navy isn't completly absent, but very scarce compared to the RL. Actually, the French campaign must had been the toughest of all instead of the British. America comes a close second and the easiest must had been coalition, folowed by HRE because the Coalition always had the upper hand in supplies and men, at least initially |

That's wrong. During the war of second coalition, the Austrians had the best cavalry on the whole continent, whereas the French didn't had even weapons to fight! That's how bankrupt the French government became. That's why I said "Atleast initially" |

That's why I said "Atleast initially" 5th coilation was the weakest of all and gave the toughest fight to France among those Coilations who lost. And 6th Coilation at start faced almost 600,000 soldiers- biggest army in History of Europe till then. |

But the coalition missions include the entire Napoleonic campaign |

They could had made the French campaign unlock at 4th probably before moving to America. The starting missions in the later campaigns are not easy |
