Beseler is a beast!
I two starred chapter ii stage 1 campaign challenge,
and three starred stages 3 and 4,
but I feel like I need a third Arty Gen to get through stage 5 "Siege of Antwerp".
Y'all were right, Meade is a clown, but I'm gonna keep him till I get stocked up.
Is Vazov the answer at 30,000 gold?

Or maybe I should just get a Quadrant. That's about how much Gold I've got

Another question:
How much of a difference do the restore hp per round items make?
i've got my gens equipped with flat percentage bonuses

Vazov is not bad as he's needed in historical campaign.
Restore hp per round items (ambulance coach, canvas tent...) are extremely important. Get them before attack items (Quadrant). This may be the reason why you are struggling.
You can get more gold by replaying previous easy games with auto on. You may want to replay some of the autoable conquests to get more gold.
There is one easy way to get more gold & medals by exploiting a bug in daily missions. The default no. is 3 missions per session (each session 8 hours after the last). Sometimes the 3 missions do not appear all at once (I don't know how to trigger this). You complete the 2 that appeared, go back to the main menu then re-enter campaign mode and the remaining 1 appears. There is say a 1 minute delay between the first 2 and the last one. When you attempt the next session, the normal 3 missions appear together and then 1 minute later, there'll be an extra one (you need to go back to the main menu and re-enter campaign mode 1 minute later). The max missions I was able to get per session is 9.
You need to be on time for every sessions. I was late by 2 minutes once for a session and it reverted to only 3 missions. When it's about time for a session, I switch between the main menu and campaign mode to make sure I'm on time.
If you are using the pinned skill guide (very outdated), use All Skills Ranked instead. In the pinned guide, storm fortification is regarded as a must have skill. In reality, it is one of the worst skill for an art general.
I suggest that you get more gold and buy Falkenhausen and/or Douglas MacArthur so that you can attempt historical Austro-Prussian war and Cuban war. You can then farm gold and book/silver medal. Note that there is a 20% chance of no book/silver medal and book is twice more likely than silver medal. Cuban war also rewards you with multiple Hero Medals (the only special medal that you are able to get more than 1).

Wow! Thanks Luffy for that detailed response. I'll try and implement your advice

Why do you dislike Storm Fortifications? It isn't the best, but it also isn't the worst.

Falkenhausen is not an early game general. Sell Meade for MacArthur as he is A) MacArthur B) Great C) Useable for History Mode, The History Mode is NOT meant for beginners, you need insane tech (not achievable at your state), insane generals (same as before), and insane guides. Unless you have the 4 missions thing, being on time is not needed unless you want to maximize your money, but I got 200 medals by doing a session a day. Add that up with my princesses I get about 10 medals a day. Farming gold isn't wort your time. New conquests (rewards), new campaigns, etc. are enought to satify your gold ambitions |

That cuban war tip was horrible. You definitely can't do it at the beginning. |

As it is I'm getting about 10 to 12k a day and 7 to 10 medals a day of of missions. 1000 gold of of my two princesses, and grind for about 15 to 25k gold of of auto missions and conquests. I'm picking at chapter two campaign challenges and got stuck on antwerp stage 5. I'm picking at finishing 3 starring chapter 1 challenges. Also stuck on stage 13 in chapter 3 campaign. I need to pick up gold and silver medals. to get my existing gens up to duke and beyond. Those medal missions are really challenging, I'm having trouble with them. If i do sell Meade for MacArther I am defeinitely going to need a second artillery. Is Vazov the answer at 30k gold, or do I wait. Just got Beseler. He's a beast. Feel like I can't get rid of Meade without replacing him with Arty gen, as Arty gens do way more damage than Inf. gens when your only working with City IV Troops. Am I missing something?

Storm fort deals 20 damages to cities only and has no effect to anything else. An OP art gen deals between 150 to 300 damages to cities depending on art type. So SF adds about ~10% damages to cities only. Lvl 6 art expert adds 18% damages to all enemy types. Salvo deals 20 damages to all enemy types. Lvl 5 tactics master adds ~15% damages to all enemy types (assuming 1 in 4 triggers is wasted as no more enemy hereby). That's why I don't like SF. My ideal non-aura art gen has salvo, art expert, tactic master, jungle and mountain. Pierce is also much better than SF but I used it in a cav gen as there is only 1 pierce special medal.
I tried AP war after getting Beseler. He is my first medal general and I chose him over Ivanov simply because he's needed in AP war. I realised that I couldn't follow the moves in the guide due to low tech. I then bought Falkenhausen and was able to 3 star it sometimes. I cheated a little bit. Whenever Beseler's tactic master was not triggered in the first attack, I restarted. After several tries, you should be able to 3 star it most of the time as you know how your enemies move.
After completing AP war, I bought MacArthur (my main inf gen early on) and attempted Cuban war. I was probably lucky and 3 starred it on the second or third attempt. The guide is very brief, but after some tries, you should be able to position/attack/move and use tactic cards efficiently to 3 star it most of the time.
I actually used AP and Cuban to farm book/silver medal very early on.
Buy Vazov as he costs only gold and is needed in history mode. It won't be wasted. I think I bought Putnik (also needed in history mode) and Vazov before I have enough medals to buy Beseler.
I farmed gold by replaying chapter 1 campaigns or cuba conquest in auto mode many times right from the start every day. Farming also increases gen experience slightly so that you can upgrade their titles earlier. I was able to upgrade tech and buy many gold only gen very early on due to farming.

Storm Fortifications does damage against Fortress too. Though it completely depends on you which skill you want to have on Ivanov, SF or JF |

Thanks Luigi for clarifying. Fort is grouped under "city defense units".
