Ballistics is useless because of a bug in the game. It's supposed to give a bonus to your lowest rolls (all 1s become 2s) but doesn't work. Fence is practically uselese because artillery can't build fortifications. From what we know explosives works (all 6s are 7s) but I have my doubts- it's difficult to test and I wonder why it wouldn't be affected by the same bug. War expert is very useful as is engineering. Grouchy also has more stars. Currently bought grouchy , i may regroup bernadotte to get oudinot ( and make ney my trader calvary hybrid ) and finally perhaps get marmont ( or marmony first before oudinot to train the former in artillery stars ) what do you think? |

You bought Grouchy too early. Now you can't finish with him. Marmont isn't as good as Grouchy for filling the last slot. How many infantry stars does your Bernadotte have right now? 3 or 5? If it's 3, just give him another 2 infantry stars and he will hit like Archduke Charles. If it's 5, you should buy Marmont and finish with Augereau or Gouvion. Oudinot isn't that much of an improvement comparing to a maxed out Bernadotte. If you really, really want to finish with an artillery general, go for Mortier or Marmont. I recommend Marmont since Mortier is only slightly better but costs 330 more. |

I recommend Marmont since Mortier is only slightly better but costs 330 more. In a cost wise way , getting bernadotte to 5 star infantry is chaper as compared getting oudinot , but i do like oudinots skills and he is as good as doeblen if i give snare drum , so in my conplex planning phase I intend to 1) get 2 jeromes ( or Augustus ) 2) regroup them and bernadotte into Ney ( since he has 2 starting trader stars ) 3 part 1 ) getting grouchy to 5 artillery stars 3 part 2 ) getting marmont and trying to get him to 5 artillery stars 4) getting oudinot since I might not need augerau and st cyr as last slot fillers ( he has i believe 5 starting stars ? ) and getting snare drum and Ferguson rifle on him Otherwise get berthier make him a star trader calv arty hybrid and get some other general I would really like some suggestions for items , currently have military tent ( 6 supply per turn ) i had seen several threads on items but not really suggested items , |

A propeller can be useful in some Sun Never Sets missions. Anyway, don't buy anything until you have a 5 star trader. |

With my recent loss of progress sadly I decided to have another go at the Marshals challenge , currently with Marmont ( from poll and with 4 artillery stars ) , Ney ( can be changed but almost maxed rank and nobility, 5 stars calv ) and bernadotte 5 trader 3 infantry ( may be main infantry general ) i may make a 5 or 6 slot lineup ( depending on how fast google surveys refresh ) or get a iap general ( maybe davout or lannes / or get napoleon just for the memes ) but generals wise if i go a 5 slot i would maybe go Berthier and pump into him medals and for a fifth ( maybe last ) slot filler go grouchy or another infantry general like oudinot and if i go 6th then maybe oudinot , feel free to criticise my suggestions or give other suggestions of your own ( current campaign is waterloo and battle of britain )

The only items you really need are a snare drum and a warhorse. A propeller can be useful in some Sun Never Sets missions. Anyway, don't buy anything until you have a 5 star trader. Hmm ok ty Yes, a 5β trader is strongly reccommended if you start buying other items. With a trader You can buy and sell items without any loss of medals,so you can buy even +2 or +4 items. After having a trader, and before I start with any further training, I buy all items I want. Imo are the items cheaper, without doubt, when you can share it. There only +1, +2, +4 and +6 items, but a theoretical +5 item has the same effect like one additional β. OK, if there is Diez in the academy - get him! (I was searching him more than 12 months to train Isabella). I personally buy, if there offered, +6 pistols, +6 powder and all snair drums in the headquarter-shop, although they cost +20% more. These items are only late in the campaign to find, and maybe the shop offers actually one of the shop-exclusive items that are not from the campaign. More InfoThe propeller are necessary during the SNS campaign, not before. The tent is not completly useless, but it has no big strategical effect. But You have it already, so keep it Michel Ney , Prince of Moscova. For a princess run, where every round counts, I recommend medipacks if necessary (just a few - not many !!): 3 small medipacks give more health than using a +6 tent in 32 rounds. But you can do 29 more attacks intead of resting and the units are immediate on health again, so You will earn even a few more ποΈ. Hint: Medipacks can be also used for units without commander! A tent is usefull for a long march or seatravel. You get 40 medipacks S (+65 HP) for the price of one +6 tent. |

So around 60 to 70 plus damage?
