The beginner variant was one I played on an older save, some years back. At the time, I had Sulkowski (44/54 health, can't recall exactly), and Sophia (28 or 36 health). I got in about 50 turns to the win. The advanced variant is one I played yesterday with my endgame squad:
1. Radetzky (125 health, 7 regen)
2. Lan (98 health, 7 regen)
3. Sophia (110 health, 8 regen)
4. Isabela (86 health, 5 regen)
5. Victoria (74 health, 6 regen)
1. A cavalry General can work instead of Victoria The strategy is basically the same, but the endgame generals let me win it in 30-something turns instead of 50. We will, in essence, have three armies in operation. Since I visualize each unit as a Division, I will be referring to my operating groups as Corps. Please indulge me.
● The I Corps will be charged with taking out St. Louis, and then Spain and the Deep South.
○ In the beginner variant, I put Sulkowski on the double heavy cavalry for it. In the advanced variant, Lan sat on that slot.
○ After finishing the South, the cavalry may head back north to finish off Portugal, and maybe rescue the II Corps as well.
○ In the advanced variant, you will add one artillery General (I used Isabela) to this group.
● The II Corps is the one that will handle the central part of the map. From Fort Dearborn, they'll go to Cornplanter, then on towards Baltimore, Philadelphia, and beyond.
○ In the beginner variant, Ushakov handles this command on his own. This makes
this Corps the laggard of the bunch, and is the reason why the I Corps may have to head up the Eastern Seaboard to support it. In the advanced variant, Ushakov gets help from an infantry or cavalry General of yours. I brought in Victoria.
● The III Corps will handle the north. Crossing over the lake to hit Karamanli, it will then go through the British positions up North, and then liberate New England.
○ In the beginner variant, I used Sophia on the Guards Cavalry (you read that right). In the advanced variant, Radetzky did that job.
○ Ideally, if you have only one spare Artillerist (say, Kutaisov, whom many early players have as a trainer), they'll join this group.
○ In an optimal world, you'll enter New England from the north before the Americans there totally collapse. If not, that's fine - Charles and Duckworth will both be battered, and neither of them is too strong to begin with. Overall, as you can see, the cavalry are the heroes in this conquest, because of the starting units, and the artillery are supporting troops. Your economy will be tricky at the beginning, but more than adequate at the end.
Your allies are mostly good for defense, other than the Poles, who actually do good work
