Now Western front 1944 is perfectly cleared and I can purchase two generals specifically for Pacific 1945 - Slim and Nimitz. In almost all (I replaced him only once) Western front campaigns my fifth general was Gamlin. I am really satisfied with this "economic-based" strategy. I always had enough funds to replenish units of Rokossovsky, Vatutin and Govorov and to continue thus a whirlwind of destruction.  |

Now my team is almost completed. I will buy my next generals just to get more prestige points   |

I got Nimitz to pass one of the challenge missions and have realized that I should have gotten him much sooner. His aura makes navy scenarios so much easier. Yes, even if Donitz is already there, because with Nimitz we can make fast progress on two fronts (elite battles hint hint).

stoic, you much underrate infantry gens. Getting your first one for the allies after 2 tanks, an Arty, an econ, and that inf gen isn't even good? Why would you do that to yourself? Also, why Kuribayashi? Yes, he may be better than Yamashita in terms of output, but Rundstedt (and Ushijima, but I won't fight) are both much better for their price. Lastly, Guderian and Rommel, and Roko and Vatutin, are sort of redundant.

Lastly, Guderian and Rommel, and Roko and Vatutin, are sort of redundant. No, I don't think I underestimate Infantry generals. I have a special role for my Infantry and Infantry generals of my choice - Kuribayashi, Slim and Kesselring - play this role just fine. I simply can't see what MacArthur or Rundstedt, or Yamashita could do better than these generals. This role is very simple and very important at the same time - reconnaissance, backup of my armoured forces, mopping up operations. I simply don't need the most expensive Infantry generals for this role. After Rokossovsky/Vatutin and Rommel/Guderian there isn't much to do anyway. |

And I found that economic strategy with Gamelin pretty interesting - had anyone ever played like this before? |

You see Gerd von Rundstedt , that's the reason why you have an entire thread on you regarding why everyone disagrees with you  |

Infantry, air, and navy all the way. Wait: maybe I should be a Japanese gen rather than a european one. Tanks are good at smashing and doing breakthroughs that you "quick" players like to do, but nothing a paratrooper or an Assault infantry cannot do, particularly Mac on a ranger. |
