Welcome commander, to the eastern front.
This mission is one of the first few in the eastern front, how are you enjoying the first tastes of soviet hordes?
Don't worry, it'll become more bearable with the generals and special forces that you get along the way.
The important thing is not to panic when the snow starts speaking russian and reorganise your forces.
Without further ado, let's start!
Mission Objectives: Annihilate the Enemy
Sub Mission 1: Defeat 15 Units in 6 turns
Sub Mission 2: Occupy Odessa in 7 turns
Sub Mission 3: Occupy Uman in 8 turns
Sub Mission 4: Defeat 25 Units in 14 turns
Generals Used: Model (Infantry), Messe (Heavy Tank), Bock (Tank)
Detailed Breakdown
To start off, we're going to have to try to fulfill our objectives of destroying 15 units while travelling to Odessa and Uman.
This is an absolute pain but it has to be done.
Move your artillery to killsteal the infantry in the southern city before attacking the factory and city in front of you. Specifically, use your heavy artillery to outrange the field artillery in the city, before using Model and Messe to clear the factory for Bock to roll in and recruit another stack.
Bock will be doing a lot of tanking in this game, so that extra stack is crucial.
I gave Model a Jaeger and a special mission: To travel northwards and killsteal all enemies before parachuting back to Uman.
After taking the city-factory, it's best to start splitting your forces into two.
The mobile force to take Uman would have to consist of ranged troops, capable of destroying the infantry in Uman that keeps recruiting.
The range is extremely important as your allies will surround the city, and there is a high likelyhood of normal troops not getting through the wall of troops.
For me, the Mobile Force consisted of the field artillery, my infantry with a ARR airborne, Messe on a heavy tank and a reinforcement armoured car
The Main force consisted of Bock on the tank, Model, Heavy artillery and a reinforcement 44MM TAS
The Main force will tag along behind the armoured division blazing a trail to the middle factory.
Give your Heavy Artillery some transport troops, it'll need it to move around.
Killsteal everything you can.
Likewise, on the southern front, give your field artillery some transport troops and killsteal everything you can while the ARR airborne prepares to capture the airport and the city from your allies.
Extra cash, bling bling
If you have trouble capturing Odessa by turn 7, you can purchase the fighter reinforcement and strafe the city.
Personally, I managed to capture the airfield with my ARR airborne, and then I strafed the infantry to death.
Meanwhile, my Model is just having fun destroying low health troops after stealing airports and airfields.
After either you or your allies take the factory with the yellow ring, all troops will get a morale boost.
One turn after that, Rundstedt will announce that it is time for a general attack on Uman.
By this time, your heavy artillery and tanks should be in position near Uman.
Aim for thehead objective, encircle Uman, and pound it.
After taking Uman, Timoshenko will announce a counterattack on the next turn to take back Uman.
Retreat your troops the city and replenish what you can.
Don't bother meeting the counterattack outside the city. The armoured forces will surround and grind your troops up.
Model in the city will perform well due to his skills, while Bock can keep recruiting on the factory.
If things get ugly, don't hesitate toadvance backwards retreat out of the city and let your allies tank the damage.
After repelling the counterattack, replenish your troops and wipe out the last few amounts of token resistance!
Congrats! You've reached the end of the brief. Go out there and eat the soviet armoured hordes!
Final notes: My tech level is literally 0. Special forces? 0. Generals? All free. If I can clear this, you can too! No pain, no gain!
2. Remember to use special forces! The rivers and mountains are pains to cross, especially at Odessa, so make good use of your special forces there.
3. If you see something that you want to killsteal very much, don't forget your airforce!
I hope this guide helps if you have any trouble.
If you have any further questions or discussions, feel free to post them here!

Battle Flow Brief
Terrain and Situational Brief
1. Many rivers and mountains across the map
[Watch out for bottlenecks, Transport troops, Paratroopers, Jaegars and 44MM Tas will come in handy]
2. Relatively few forces under our control
[Avoid dangerous frontline situations]
3. Large number of allies
[May prove useful, but may also obstruct the roads]
Overall Strategy: Move fast, conserve troop strength until taking of key objectives
