Has anyone been able to win this conquest as an 1-star Axis nation? Escape to Damascus & Jerusalem, gaining resource on africa, defeat ROC with main power, stealing USSR city and defeat them with more than half of their gens are still alive, bombard and surround UK with navy, wipe South then North America with missile/air attack.

I’ll do a f2p ‘43 challenge 1 star Axis someday for the demonstration, but it won’t be anytime soon All of the rewards are completely possible f2p, though. The only constraints are speedruns, which are really easy with the Allies.

I did ‘43 Egypt challenge with p2w generals (Manstein, Kluge, tank, artillery, and excellence medals) in 14 rounds with the last 2 being bad port management in Asia.
I would thus expect f2p to be completely possible in under 20 with max Guderian, Rommel, Rokko, List, Konev, Leeb, and Nenomen with level 5 Pershing and 6 T-44.

To demonstrate it’s possible, I did a f2p Hungary ‘43 challenge run in 39 rounds. So no excellence, tank, or artillery medals with no Manstein, Kluge, Zhukov, or Wittingstein and the myriad paid AF generals (the latter of which none I have). I took a screenshot of the generals screen, but of course there’s no way to verify the medals part without me taking a four hour screen recording (which I won’t be doing lol). My guess is that this is doable in under 30 with all the above. The strategy is to send two infantry gens (Yamashita and MacArthur) to Israel then Egypt, capturing easy cities for income. Send Guderian on a Pershing to China where cities are easy to capture. And, importantly, don’t bother with the Soviet hoard or any of their non-infantry generals. You won’t kill them, and Germany does a great job of soaking-up that front. Once you get a large foothold in Africa, China, and India use your secondary tank generals to then go back West and clean up the barren USSR. Most of their power gets killed in Germany.

One of the hardest 43 challenge conquest for F2P, since our bestie Germany is getting stormed by USSR real quick. - Run for your life, i skytrained Yamashita on Hawkeye to Glasgow, Mannerheim to defeat Sweden, and paratroop to capture port near Oslo as your safety net if Helsinki is being taken later. Nenonen to reduce Leningrad hp. Restart if Timo straightly comes to Helsinki on turn 1. - I put 2 economic gen in Stockholm (Dowding) and Glasgow (Chennault) to boost income. - Summon Rokko in Glasgow to sweep UK and Guderian in Helsinki to slice the northern USSR city until Moskow and proceed to help Japan from RoC later. Summon 2nd tank gen later to help Guderian if you have spare money. One important note is, never put your gen stationed on the city, or they'll get crushed by USSR elite gen in an instant. - Defeat Mongolia, India, RoC and Australia to secure asian front. Some tank gens that summoned later (Bastico, List, Vatutin, and Monty) go to clean rest of Europe and Africa. - North and South America defeated mostly by air attack or missile.

I liked the change in the 1939 conquest, that canada was given another port at halifax, but i cant understand why it was again taken away. This Port was very important for allies supply during the war, iirc. But egypt got a new harbour at Port sudan. I have the feeling that 1939 conquest got a bit more Love then the 1943. Lets hope the cold war update gets the love it needs.

Well ‘43 in a game like WC4, if ET is to be somewhat realistic, is always going to be dominated by the USSR-Germany theatre, and doesn’t allow for a lot of smaller countries since Germany occupied them. It immediately means less options, so the smaller countries are extremely difficult. What they should do in return, though, is crank-up the difficulty when you play as a three star country.

I have encountered a dynamic that really bugs me. I have patiently upgraded my T-44 to Lvl. 6 and was very eager to hop into 1943 challenge conquest (USSR) for a speedrun attempt, because we start with a plethora of T-44s. Sadly I have encountered that those T-44s don't scale past Lvl. 5. The change in attack range is a huge difference and influence the attack power significantly. This is frustrating because the AI gets all units at Lvl. 9 and we can't compete with that even after grinding our units to an almost equal level. Does anyone know the reasoning behind this?

The reasoning is because it is a *challenge* conquests, and having half your units scale upwards with your personal power would significantly reduce the challenge. ‘43 challenge is easy enough with the Allies. There’s no need to make it easier. If anything, 3 star Allied countries still need a big nerf (or the Axis a buff).

I get that it heightens the difficulty and I have had no trouble completing the conquest challenges but I still think it's counterintuitive to not reward our investments in elite units. Just give us more difficult content, easy fix.

What we don’t get is a (near) universal upgrade the way we do with normal units, which is fine.
