credit for the following tactic: General Grant
You asked for full detail... you got it. I have two hired generals and two princesses, and though none are very strong yet, your strategy may be different if you have fewer, more, weaker, or stronger generals. Send all troops along the Danube River (the large east-west one that runs through Vienna), taking out troops along the way. Protect Soult and Davout, your two artillery generals – you’ll need them later to take Vienna and Brunn and eliminate Kutuzov and Bagration. You can have some fun using an artillery from Brunswick to bombard the Prussian troops directly east of Oldenburg if you want… one of my generals was doing this the entire battle, and Prussia never retaliated! By around round 6, you can be in position to surround or at least flank Vienna. Coalition forces will make a defensive line running through Brunn, Austerlitz, and the Austrian fort. In round 7, Prussia may send a few troops due south – not much of a problem, but this is also when Russian reinforcements will start to arrive… fortunately, not all at once. When you take Buda and/or Pest (if not sooner) the Austrian cavalry in the south will counterattack, so finish taking Vienna first, even if those cities are unoccupied. About round 11, the troops east and northeast of Pest will attack, as well. Bear in mind that NONE of all these troops need to be killed except for the southern cavalry general. At this point, it becomes a slugfest between your line stretching from Buda and Pest northwestward through Vienna and Austerlitz up to the lone factory, and the latter half of the Russian reinforcements and Austrian counterattack. It’ll be brutal, because by now your generals will be very weak, but hold the line and keep building artillery at both ends – you’ll need it against Bagration in particular. Bombard Brunn when you have no other target – Leiberich won’t budge from that spot. Retreat back across the river only if you must, but hold the lone factory, Buda, Pest, and especially Vienna at all costs. By denying them those cities, you deny them front-line reinforcements. Block with infantry, hit with artillery, and their forces will run out of steam. Austerlitz is useful for pumping out cheap militia (or infantry, if you upgrade it) – they’ll waste time trying to take it while you blast them! This map can be beat in 14 rounds, as described. Good luck! Other tips: - Even without any additional generals, you start with more general units than non-general units (not counting forts). Russia is also top-loaded like this, but Austria is not. Take advantage of this weakness and butcher their small fry! - Three of your pre-loaded generals on this map - Murat, Lannes, and Davout - have Assault Art; you can save before each attack and reload until it activates. You’ll rack up lots of bonus medals in the process! As Lannes also has Mass Fire, if you keep him alive and the other two safe, you can have 3 generals hitting 70+ per turn right up until the end! - Prussia will pretty much ignore you unless provoked, but about round 7 they will build a cavalry at the empty stable and send that and one artillery directly south against you. Seriously, that’s Prussia’s only attack. Their forts and artillery WILL fire on you if you come within their range, but NO troops will advance. Send in cannon fodder if you really want to take that unguarded stable, unless you want Blucher’s Sabre (+2 ATK for cavalry for 180 medals... not bad) from there, then send a discounting general, of course. Over half of Prussia's forces are forts or distant slow units that would never reach you anyway! - You can completely ignore the southernmost coastal battery and artillery. The coastal battery will duel with your own fort (and inevitably lose) and the artillery won’t do a thing unless you get in range. I don't have Lannes? |

I have tried the re-entered post by everyone and about two to five turns into the russian attack half of my armies were rendered dead or inadequate to fight. Is it just me or is the strategy flawed? I am equipped with Hull as a civilian rank.

Take vienna and hold, attacking the enemy with davout and soult. |

This battle is a beautiful example of why napoleon was so careless in the welfare of his troops, he had so many atrocities that he got used to it! After many turns of the attack with artillary, block with infantry strategy and hit cannon with cavalry. I can finally declare a two star victory. Whih was ok i think. An incentive for other players is that if you wait too long to win, prussia and blucher will come down on your northern lines like a hammer. Thanks for all the advice guys it really helped me win, another thing was that i hired the commander chichogov who played a great light artillary role. But just remember if you can't beat it then try again about fifty other times. Oh and i have noted that the general's paths do tend to change. On my winning game bagration attacked my troops below the danube! Thx all for the advice.

You need to get princesses, and Dumouriez (Tier 1) or Sulkowski (Tier 2) |

Jean with all due respect, chichogov was the only general that i could affird to recruit at that moment. He successfully fullfilled my need for an artillary commander and a naval commander. And princesses i am not really even sure how to get. They are a very confusing subject.

Sophia, an artillery princess of high caliber, can be obtained with ease. |

That is always such a problematic business. I am doing two conquests right now, france 1812 and britain 1815. What princesses am i elidible for. Because i would hate to have to start all over on a new conquest.
