Anyone has any ideas how to overcome this more easily? From the perspective of someone who has at most lvl 3 ribbons on Guderian, Rommel, Yamashita, Konev, Leeb and Doenitz.
In the Dutch East Indies / Java Sea campaign, I sent my main force eastward to Borneo and the eastern island. Yamashita and Leeb had to fight with only Nimitz and Horton for support on the western and southern islands. The issues were overcoming the enemy fleet, which was overwhelming when we had to leave Borneo, and the resistance at the two SW target cities.
In the Battle of the Coral Sea, the fleet issue occurs again and Konev and Yamashita barely survived jumping to attack Aussie cities. Even a new Bastico on a light tank was almost defeated by enemy ships and aircraft while holding the middle island.
Afterwards, during the invasion of Papua New Guinea, I barely made the time and there was exceptionally fierce resistance from the 2 target cities near around Kokoda. The enemy fleet almost smashed my fleet if not for my 1 sub per turn counter.
All of these were in Normal mode.

Nobunaga Oda , hard to tell (can't look at the missions any more and don't want to start over), but especially the 5th mission I also found demanding on my poorly developed navy. Even more impressive that you made it with only Horton, (Nimitz?) and Doenitz. I got enough points for Darlan after doing a ally all + conquer all run with USA as my first challenge conquest (30+ turns). It takes some time but it's probably the easiest way to boost your team.

For the East Indies campaign, Nimitz + Horton took the southern front while Doenitz the northern front.
I don't think I expected to run up this close to the deadline on Normal, even though enemy gens have ribbons, some are customised to have additional skills and slots, and there are more enemy fortresses.

I played the 7th mission Yesterday and could not kill Eisenhower in the last turn. But i was more upset about the fact, that i cant build fortifications. Otherwise i had encircled the land fortresses with bunkers and no annoying allies would spawn.

yes that's annoying. Paratroopers do the job but they're more expensive and easier to kill.

I used the only NAVY available on First 5 campqigns so far, Yamamoto, Donitz, Darlan, Horton and accidentally used MacArthur on super bts instead of Nimitz. Realized in 10th round but i wasnt going to restart...wasnt going too bad😊. Oh, i used Rundstedt, who has economy, on 1st city, parasniped, island hopped with Simo on Hawkeyes, Konev on 3 stack howitzer taking last 2 cities and deploying Dowding on a paratrooper in sniped last city in west, then combined my Navy into one unit taking out enemy navy gens at sea. Horton supported Simo and Konev in the west on a cruiser. Anyhoo, onto 6th scenario, New Guinea, I think. Will share when i see related topics.

I couldn't win the final battle in time or with my gens. I used Guderian, Rokossovsky (Rumour tank), Rommel, Vatutin, Konev, Leeb, Yamashita, Dowding, Nimitz, and Doenitz. If taking the last Canadian city causes all troops to disappear, it may be worth it to attack it. Assuming our airports are within range, of course. Not that we'll need the 100 or 150 technology. The sheer number of troops wore down my men a d destroyed them. Guderian, the medic, and Dowding. The AI launches probes to hit our rear, which killed my medic and Dowding. So far, I can confirm that the naval fortress spawns enemies. I believe the others do as well. Makes no sense to disallow our own towers to be built when the enemy can spam troops. The southern front can never be saved. The landing troops will be destroyed; the fleets will be sunk; the fortress will fall.
Plus, many of these gens should've been cut out. Eisenhower should be in Europe, MacArthur and the Australians surrendered or eliminated unless their presence meant an evacuation from Australia worked. And MacArthur can and does drops enough bombs to partially satisfy his IRL *Auto Corrected*ation plan for the PRC.

I'm not F2P so I won't comment on the difficulty of the event. But in my personal experience it was easier then Operation Barbarossa. Utilizing a strong air general on the available Akagi did wonders for me.
Did anyone notice an increased difficulty in the last Mannerheim Event? I found hard mode nearly impossible and really struggled to complete 30 turns.

No, just because I saw this post long after I cleared for the first time, so I reset the progress to rerun and see where you guys were struggling.

Yes, in Barbarossa (or was, I did it once a few weeks ago) it's possible to complete normal (to unlock hard) then play hard and reset it to do it once or twice more for additional ribbons & fragments. But please, for the sake of your sanity, don't waste your time on this

Constant loss of HP (fragmentation) and hard to kill enemies (solid entrenchment) is an annoying combination.
