Tripolitania 1815
Step 1 - Ruse of War
Commander! Egypt has declared war on us. We have allied ourselves with Napoleon. The allied powers have also declared war on us for siding with Napoleon. The king wants you to teach your enemies a lesson to show that we will not be bullied by anyone.
Objective - Defeat Egypt, Spain and Sardinia
Firstly, don’t attack with the troops you get at the start. All your attacks will be futile because of the less space on Egypt. Focus on building your strength first. You need to upgrade the cities first when you can start spamming. Play defensive initially. Spam strong troops and if there is one place where you can spam Armoured cars, it’s here. You can capture Heraklion for extra income. Make sure to have naval superiority before attacking.
Attack the Egyptian troops in order (Any order of your liking). Focus your power on one unit/objective because it’s extremely difficult to flank their units, lest surround them. Go for the stables first as you can spam Armoured Cars. Flank whenever possible. The general in Cairo has a lot of health so naval bombardment is preferable here.
Coming to Spain, you must focus on the landing job. A good landing meanshalf full job done. Even here, naval superiority is very much desirable. Make sure to put your units out of range of forts, as much as possible. It’s ok if they take a couple of hits. Destroy the forts with your navy first and occupy the ports. This is very important as it will be very difficult to land without destroying the forts. Expand north slowly . Surround and destroy the large fortress and assist the French in defeating Ferdinando VII.
For Sardinia, Karamanil, a couple frigates and a few troops should be enough.
Step 2 - Relieve the French
Commander ! His Majesty is planning to relieve the French and turn the tide of the war. This is important to boost our economy and teach our enemies a lesson.
Objective - Liberate the occupied French centers and march into Serbia and Austria
Ignore Buda and Pest as you still do not have enough firepower to destroy that heavy fortress and occupy them. But do post a unit such that when the cities are empty, occupy them. Focus all your firepower and crush Serbia. Relieve Wallachia as they will probably be under heavy pressure by now, almost on the brink of extermination if not already destroyed. Now, take your remaining units, including to Moldavia and defeat them (If they are still there). Since there will probably be 2 or 3 units, you can surround and destroy them. Now take them to attack Debrecen and the stable nearby. Now, go for Lviv and play defensive in Nature.
Only start attacking Russia after you have enough troops. Upgrade all cities and factories. If you want specialized units, you can upgrade stables. But generally it is not recommended.
Step 3 - Operation Frederick
Commander ! We have seized eastern Austria. It is time to eliminate Austria completely. The king wants us to expand into eastern and central Russia. Commander ! The war has come to a decisive point. We must destroy Austria with our Ottoman and Italian allies and relieve pressure on the French.
Objective - Wipe out Austria, capture Warsaw, Odessa, Sevastopol, Kharkiv, Kiev, Vilnius and Minsk. Destroy the coalition forces in Austria.
The small, level 1 village northeast of Brunn will be your launchpad for the assault on Austria. Clear of the Swedish army with Caradja and other troops. use your troops to capture Vienna. It will probably be under heavy fire from the Italian and Ottoman troops. Keep a few units of cavalry near Vienna and when the general there weakens, move in for the kill. Capture Prague and mop up Austria.
Coming to the Eastern front, your priority must be - Odessa, Sevastopol and the unnamed city near the former Russo-Moldavian border (Yes, it’s former )Though it will be a cakewalk till Odessa and the unnamed city, the Russians will start spamming troops near Sevastopol, and an unnamed city north of Sevastopol. Take the ASAP. Then, use the remaining troops, take Kharkiv and Kiev.
Now, spam some artillery units and go for Warsaw. It is better if you can get there before the AI spams Generals. You can use them further in the conquest. Now comes the final push - take Vilinus and Minsk. Take your time when in Russia because the cities are far apart from each other.
Step 4 - Berlin Offensive
Commander ! The time has come to launch an offensive straight into the heart of the Coalition. The King now wants to conquer Prussia, Denmark and Sweden. If this operation succeeds, we will cut off the coalition troops into two parts, creating a deep buffer.
Objectives - Destroy Prussia, Denmark and Sweden. Expand into Russi
Now since your economy has kickstarted do not hesitate to spam troops. Spam troops from Warsaw and then get the centers in their vicinity. Namely - Poznan and Plock. Pick up even those which I have missed (if any). Destroy the fortress at the eastern tip of Prussia. Since most of the troops are busy fighting in France, it will be a cakewalk. Do not stop all your forces at Berlin. Do spam some troops at Poznan and take them to surround and destroy Berlin. Now use Berlin as a launchpad for the invasion of Scandinavia. Spam frigates as Denmark will be tough.
Land your units at the eastern side of Sweden and completely annex their territories. Use your frigates to bombard Copenhagen, and if possible, the Swedish centers too. Then go for Aalborg. The artillery general over there is quite strong and hence use your ships to bombard him and use your land units (Preferably artillery to bombard) to take Kiel.
On the eastern front, move into Russia. You must grind your way as Russia spams a lot of troops. Spam more at Sevastopol, Bucharest, and also a few battleships to travel to Egypt. Now mop up the remaining units of Prussia, Denmark and Sweden. Also, close on to Moscow. I did not give it detailed because in Russia, you just have to do three things -
1. Grind your way to the cities.
2. Capture the cities
3. Repeat
This is because Russia spams many troops when they are threatened.
Step 5 - Glory of Tripolitania
Commander ! We have succeeded in defeating most of the coalition. But they are not yet prepared to accept defeat and surrender. Russia is planning to fight a guerilla war. We must wipe out the remaining coalition troops from the continent.
Objective - Destroy the coalition troops and liberate the cities from coalition troops on mainland Europe. (If any)
Netherlands and other French centers are still under coalition occupation. Since Prussia is gone, it will weaken Blucher considerably, (if he is still alive). Make Frankfurt as your launch pad. Most of the British troops will fight in France. But still, there will be many soldiers spammed. Take your Scandinavian fleet, spam more if necessary and divide it into two parts - the first fleet, majority of them will aid the Wallachian troops in bombarding the Netherlands. Some of them will go east and destroy the ports and coastal military assets of Russia.
When only 2-3 centers of Russia remain, the spamming will stop and then you can easily mop up Russia. Overwhelm Bavaria with your Numerical superiority. Now, your Army group Netherlands and Army group Bavaria will easily destroy the other Prussian units.
Before landing your troops in England, make sure to remove the horse on the Southampton stable. When emptied, use your troops on your sea to land on it. If there are any nearby units, do not attack them on the round you land. Start from the next round. Spare some ships to take the port and bombard the town near that port. Now, build troops from that city and bypass London. Use them to go north. The port on the eastern side of England will give trouble. Hence, when you take Glasgow, spam artillery, preferably siege artillery and occupy the port. Use your ships and armored cars on the stable to take out the fortress, surround and then finally take London, thus setting Sun on the British and their Empire.
