In general, using Monty over Rommel at any time is inefficient. This also goes for Guderian, Rokkosovsky, and List for the f2p tank generals. They all have at least one of the vital two perks (AA/PL), so can be given rumor or explosives depending upon where you are in the game (I only have rumor on Guderian, leader on List, then explosives on Rokko/Rommel).

Who uses Monty over Rommel?
I only use Monty in defense Events, maybe conquests.
Anywho...I have 30 commanders now, 10-11 of which are Armor which brings me to Graziani and another ......
What If...?
Graziani wired for Alpini elite infantry?
I rarely use either and he isnt particularly Outstanding or an Ace at anything, but can fill many roles as he has plenty stars in many disciplines. I see him as the most viable for Alpini, out of my Roster.
Unlocking new skills may allow for other options.

In this case 2 of his skills will be useless (AF doesn't work with elite units, as I understand). That means we have a general who has 5 Infantry stars (potentially), Mountain fighting and two free slots. If we compare it to recently added Koenig (not a big fan of him, but, hay, he has some trump cards in his sleeve) or Higuchi, I am afraid, Grazniani doesn't have any chance. Not to say, that they are significantly cheaper. If, for some reasons, you can't find a place in your team for him, it is better to dismiss him and to buy someone who is more suited for commanding an Infantry unit, imo. |

Well, I see him best suited for Pacific war theater when we don't have to fight many heavy tanks. I am actually contemplating about his role as RPG shooter. When commanding this unit he has more chances to heal himself and nearby allies and to make any use of his otherwise lame Crossfire. The same is true for challenge conquests. I wouldn't risk to send him to the European war theater. But he should be perfectly fine in Africa or in Southeastern Asia. |

Yeah agreed, but..Buying another Commander is not the point. Assigning the general on Roster is.
Examples...
I have Simo on Hawkeye,
Maybe Mac on Brandenburg, high mobility, two actions, explosives on Mac for hitting and taking cities
Graziani, on Alpini as there really is nobody else, and a double mountain bonus.
And Yamashita on RPG now..
Rundstedt i put on any Mech inf since he is hybrid air/economy and his mobility is 24 with ribbon.
In Conquests, I dare use Wainright on medic to boost its mobility, and survivability.
(When I acquire Malinovsky things will change again)
As far as Higuchi? Id put Crossfire on him with a medal and send him in like a suicide bomber, not attacking, his counterattack potential could be near 85% with 25% coming from his base skill counter?
Koenig? Heals and support with fighting spirit. Has crossfire. He has potential if he had range so maybe rpg? Not sure, but if i had to buy another, id likely take Koenig, especially for defense missions.
Just my opinion. i dont have either so I've not tested them.
I've not dismissed Graziani as he is Gold Tier and most flexible for warzones, and when I need to fill an unspecified space for whatever reason. He can fill Navy, artillery,infantry and of course Armor, if another gets killed in one of those series eventz where you cant use a KIA commander. Warzones for ribbon grinding or Conquests. I also keep Bradley for same reason, though i dont invest much in them.
Edit...i just re-read Plaeck's/Stoic perspective on Koenig and...darn it, i think now I want Koenig on RPG for defense events behind strongholds 🤣. Let me look at Malinovsky again..hes "free"😊. He's Gold tier and could be given fighting spirit skill.

In psychology there is a well-known fallacy. It is called The Sunk Cost Fallacy. It is our tendency to follow through on something that we’ve already invested heavily in (be it time, money, effort, emotional energy, etc.), even when giving up is clearly a better idea.
Like in basketball, for example, coaches continue to rely upon their most expensive stars even though their performance is dismal at the moment.
And we don't have to play War zone fights manually anymore, do we? I personally already have more tickets for sweeps than I can use daily...

Not sure if i should make a thread about this fun challenge i thought of or if it has already been done but i think would it be possible for every country in challenge conquest to win against the entire world
My rule for this is very simple
Turn 1- declare war on every allied nation and neutral nation
Thus you are off by yourself pretty much lol. I might try it tmrw with 1939 France and eventually increase the difficulty by choosing harder countries

Welp wish me the best of luck as ill try to do every single nation with this new rule 😅😂 Although i think my iap purchases should help raise my chances of success by a lot |

France(39)   Imo it’s definitely viable for F2p, I abandoned indochina and Syria while I focused on clearing Iberia and Africa. Germany ironically is ur best ally here as they hinder British and U.S invasions. All thats left is the grueling push to Asia and Americas but missile spam should shorten it |

Selling a general that has been relegated to third/forth/etc. place only makes sense if the gained medals can be exchanged for a better general or skill upgrades of one of our top performers. If we already have a full team, then keeping second rate generals for daily tasks, challenge conquest, war zone farming or just for decorative purposes is equally good or better than having 80% of the invested medals. But I agree, we shouldn't continue investing into bench warmers.

I fully understand that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush  but if we take an example of Graziani converted into an Infantry general, I really don't think that this idea in general has a bright future. If, for some reasons, a player cannot find a place for the likes of him (though I still think that he is quite a reliable tank general with PL and AA) this change won't help much in the long run. Because even such well-rounded generals still have their specialization and their use outside of it is questionable... |

Dorado St. SebastianI am happy to inform that my Rommel killed someone in the last couple of days and now his max damage is very close to your Manstein's.  That, I believe, confirms my assumption that the difference between IAP or expensive f2p generals (like Guderian) and their cheaper alternatives is not that great in terms of the overall damage. Thе more surprising thing however is that my Pavlov (who doesn't have any medals at all and the weakest Honor Ribbon I have) has a better max damage than your Rommel.  Probably something is wrong with your Rommel after all and PL on him (not Explosives, not Plain) is not such a bad idea ...

From what i've read when you use nuke and you have a general in the city you launch nuke from, the damage gets updated in the file of that general
