stoic, Gamelin is a pretty interesting choice, and I can see how he could work. I personally only have 5 bought allied generals and I am not planning on getting any more. So, the 6th slot could either be filled by Timo/Chuikov or someone like Gamelin for the income. In a ~20 turn campaign, that's a potential 120 gold which is pretty substantial. But, I still don't get why you would pick Badoglio. Artillery generals are needed in the field, and we can't just have them sitting on cities the entire time. Leeb does so much more damage than Badoglio and with an Elephant can absolutely wipe out enemy tanks which are usually the biggest threat.

Badoglio is a cheaper Leeb, and seems like stoic is going for a "Cheaper Generals" theme sometimes, like instead of Yamashita, he bought Kuribayashi. And he's planning on getting Slim instead of MacArthur. |

Well, the reason for that is not Leeb, but rather Elephant  Just, out of curiosity, put Badoglio on Heavy Artillery with Elephant and you will be surprised. The difference between Leeb and Badoglio is not that great, as it seems at first glance. Plus Badoglio is faster. |

I completed all land battles in Elite mode. As I said the name "elite" is probably an exaggeration to a certain extent, because they are not particularly difficult. Yet I liked them. Especially the scope of battles. My guess I will need something more than Navy technology 0 for Naval battles   |

stoic, perhaps Doenitz may serve to boost a narrow fleet of ships to Navy lvl 2? I'd like to believe perfectly clearing Elite Coral Sea with free admirals and lvl 4 tech is doable, but I just need a better strategy and tactics. This may be an equivalent of lvl 2 tech, Doenitz and free admirals for you. Yamamoto sits out of reach at the central north port, out of reach and behind a fleet.

The movement doesn't really matter because of promotions and elephant's base speed is pretty good already. But I will make a save and test Badoglio later because I have the spare medals. |

Actually it does matter sometimes. I uploaded these images a couple of days ago: Leeb and Badoglio on Elephant   I don't like the idea that my Artillery general is significantly slower than my tank generals. |

I'm probably going to try perfect Pacific 42 with more generals. I think the most difficult part here is to complete first two objectives on time. Again two reinforcement units (a heavy tank and a heavy Artillery) are the key.    Rennes is the key point. Here you can reform your troops and call for reinforcements.    Don't send isolated troops to Nantes. It should be a massive and well coordinated attack.     The rest should be easy. |

I'm probably going to try perfect Pacific 42 with more generals. For Tunisia, I think better tech will solve your problems. My first try was an utter failure with tech levels 3-4-4-3-1. I completed it with 3-6-5-3-1. After taking the first objective and the 2nd one to the west, make sure to restack your troops quickly (It took some time for me). Send your tank general + infantry general + a couple of infantries to the South West objective. Make sure that when you conquer that city, an infantry enters it as he should hold until the last turn probably. Send your artillery general and all other troops you can muster to SE objective and use them to get to the center objective too. |

I just did some testings "Nimitz vs. Mountbatten". Unfortunately for Mountbatten these two guys are out of completely different leagues. Even Mountbatten's critical hits are not as good as normal hits of Nimitz. Huge difference. I wouldn't recommend Mountbatten to anyone. Definitely you will loose significantly more than you can save.  |
