Pearl Harbor Mission
Yamaguchi- submarine
Dönitz, Mikawa - Cruiser
Arnold- Carrier
Guderian - Centurion
Horton - submarine
I captured the initial harbour west of our starting position, and spawned submarines for Horton.
I raced my two Cruiser on to the fort at the bottom left corner of the map.
My carrier targetted us subs and destroyers.
After that I targetted the US cruisers marked as our objectives.
I spawned a few subs for help and Guderian took the bases on land.
This mission is a simple in design and gameplay.
Mission 2: Singapore
I divided my forces.
The west group of Rommel, Nonenen, Konev.
The east group of Guderian, Yamashita and leeb.
Navy deployment same as Pearl harbour.
My navy softened some ground fortifications, destroyed the enemy navy and captured harbours.
The east group proceed to quickly capture the bases, and then clear the forces in the jungles on their flank. Avoid trying to capture the lv 4 cities alone, I concentrated my forces to take the lv4 cities amd Singapore.
The west group advances much faster and take the cities. After the first two cities are captured link your forces to help the east group.
Note: Your western coast group can make more rapid advances because they have naval as well as allied support.
Do not banzai charge your eastern forces, the enemy facing them are more strong and supported my land Forts.
Continue clearing the enemy in the field and after your navy can bombard singapore, close in to capture. Do not bleed your forces trying to force your way into Singapore. Play gradually and clear the artillery and tanks.
Play it safe to avoid losing generals.
For taking the last objective, push with your navy and time it such that the combined effect of your naval and air bombardment clears the city for a paratrooper.
Mission 3: Landing on Philippines
There are no particular Targets for the navy or ground forces to aim for. Keep taking enemy ports amd cities. The enemy will retreat in staged manner so keep attacking them with artillery and tanks.
Again do not try to block their path of retreat, this will bleed your forces. Keep advancing step by step.
I do not remember any particular traps in this mission. So it should be smooth going.
Mission 4: Dutch Borneo
Stage 1.
Deploy financial market at Singapore.
Guderian (Elite tank), Konev (stug zu) land south with help of Navy, and take the British bases. Resistance here is tough,proceed with care.
Rommel, Nonenen, Yamashita, Leeb capture Borneo. Resistance is manageable.
Use your navy in support of ground amd the carrier in anti-sub role and take ports.
Stage 2.
Borneo.
The Dutch admiral will try to attack your army in Borneo, I destroyed him by using subs. I did not destroy the fort in the middle of the sea as I did not had the forces required for it.
There should be a moral drop in this stage.
After eliminating the Dutch admiral, Guderian and artillery shall focus on clearing the enemy ships. Control of the sea is required or at least safe passage through the sea is required for stage 3.
After securing the British bases, use Rommel and artillery to clear the enemy ships. Use subs and push the enemy back and take control of enemy port.
Stage 3.
The last stage of this mission is to take control of the remaining cities at the bottom edge of the map. At this stage, I just naval bombarded the enemy cities and use paratroopers.Ferry your generals across the sea, be careful to make sure they don't die. Resistance should be manageable.
For the last objective at the bottom right corner, I spammed cruises for naval bombardment and paratroops.
Don't deploy your navy piecemeal, use it as a sledgehammer.
Mission 5: Naval Strike
Naval generala deployed.
Used carriers to kill subs. Used my two surface ships(cruisers and super battleships)to immediately destroy the fort in front.
Spanwed a few subs to help defend our own fort.
Sent my Yamaguchi on a triple-stacked submarine to kill the two carrier generals.
Used my Dönitz and Mikawa to take the port and island in the middle. After the island is reasonably secure, I air-dropped Konev(on starting artillery) and use it to attack enemy ships.
After this, use your fleet to clear the area around MacArthur. And drop Konev on fire and kill MacArthur. Then move your remaining forces to kill the Australian(Curtis?) artillery general to end the mission.
Mission 6: Port Moresby
The initial island should be captured in short order. I aimed for the fort in the sea as a starting move, then sent my ships to deal with the large fortress at the bottom of the map. I also made sure to kill the enemy carriers with my Yamaguchi submarine.
I am tired now, actually my exam results gave out today so, things got hectic at home. So, I will write my experience of doing mission 6 and 7 tomorrow.
