im personally a proponent of the early inclusion of yamashita due to his value in medal invasions and general mobility, but it is only a benefit and not a crucial addition (there are many variations for strong general paths! they dont need to be exactly the same, try to fit them to your current needs and difficulties (e.g. not able to clear a conquest due to poor mobility, or getting crushed in scenarios without a good naval general) european-war-4.boards.net/thread/8117/yamashita-discussion?page=6this page also makes a case on yamashita. ok I think in response to OP's particular scenario those are sufficient generals to push you through to endgame. I'd recommend investing in guderian and konev to their max (or at least all level 4 skills with medals), and rommel as decently as you can to find him to be a useful asset to your team. Only then do you move on to other generals. In your case i'll prioritise one navy (donitz? up to you, its been ages since i completed the game so i cant remember if nimitz has the discount, if hes cheaper then get him), before getting one infantry (v useful as mentioned) |

Okay I will get Donitz and then Rokossovsky now, thanks to all for your help.

Jmtgaming, I was going to get an infantry gen, but the others convinced me otherwise, since they can get like 2-3 120+ damage hits and then just die. Thanks for your advice thought

Thanks for your advice thought are you planning to upgrade guderian and konev tho? (which i feel should be your priority) dont give up hope on infantry generals just yet  after you've unlocked frontier mode and the infantry general badge there your infantry generals can recover almost 1/4 health per turn |

Yeah I have that badge but frontier mode seems more like an endgame thing and I want to get through all the scenarios first. I don’t think I will upgrade my generals with medals yet but maybe I will after I get some more medals.

I've finished all scenarios a while back. Only Hudson Bay and a few more and frontier mode left. I'm on the one past the Air medal frontiers. So, probably Yamamoto for Hudson bay, and next Yamashita who can help there and in the last 3? frontiers.
I d just like to find any add on scenarios or downloadable stuff to continue enjoying the game. Dunno where though.

I'm also on the same frontier level as you. I'm thinking of getting some generals that specialize in cracking fortresses and a few more infantry generals. I don't think ET has made any new updates ever since frontier mode came out, but seeing as they're still updating WC3 there might be some updates for this game soon as well. |

Dunno where though. arnold is a cheaper and more useful pick due to crowd tactics and heavy rumour (you can use him in land too later with your frontier missions). Same goes for dowding who is not only ok in air but can also be a useful economy general for your frontier missions (usually there you have a surplus of general slots and can afford to use one as a economy booster in your main starting city) |

Yamashita on explosives should be the best option for that, but I find my heavy tank guderian dealing more damage :0 also mannerheim on a forest commando with explosives is nasty but that unit is quite rare in frontier mode |

I have 12 gens. Messe, Guderian, Leeb, Konev, kutznetov, Rommel, Arnold, Nimitz, Donitz, Rundstedt, Rokosovsky, and Manstein. I have 11k medals and considering Yamashita also because I f. Gens do well in frontier mode. Yamamoto, hes a hybrid which can do for Arnold and Nimitz. And lastly, Graziani. Although historically, I don't like him for his actions vs Omar the desert lion of Lybia but in game, he's versatile given non class skills. Donitz is my main Navy go-to as he is pure Navy and a must have in my book. Hope this helps never get yamamoto if you have yet to complete the game! too expensive and his skills can easily be attained through employing much more affordable generals like arnold (who is quite strong too with crowd tactics that can support your land output if you decide to use him there) Dorado St. Sebastian, yup you should get yamashita, hands down best infantry general in the game. I think I had rather lengthy debates with people in the past as to whether Graziani is a viable general... you can defo get him since you are already probably late game, but given that he is definitely inferior to optimal guderian you should focus on your current generals (maxing skills and upgrading health stats) uh, everyone's inferior to Guderian, not just Graziani |

And yes Guderian is hands down the Wc4 meta |

And yes Guderian is hands down the Wc4 meta I agree, honestly I don't know why everyone here likes Graziani so much cause he deals like 20 less damage than Rokossovsky and only lives for like two extra turns on a hard UN mission if he takes the same amount of damage. |

I think it was only one guy a few years ago... he refused to accept our arguments and thus influenced alot of other newbies too. But I still staunchly stand against graziani. Also given the new IAP tank health medal machinery skill isnt the only way to get ur generals healed on the move now (though it is not that much of a close substitute given the real currency cost of opting for the general skill medal) |
