Bravo. I congratulate your goals, even though I may not share the same.
I too like Pavlov, enough to eventually invest a little into and in spite of not using him as much as I'd like to or that he is a Bronze tier commander. There is strength in diversity.
I think my Pavlov can also do decent damage and great for holding a city a few turns until reinforcements arrive.
Ive not converted Graziani into an Infantry commander, but he could fill that role.
Just as Yamamoto fills Aircraft carriers, artillery, Air, resource hybrid and
Rundstedt can fill the roles of infantry, Air and resource also.
Rommel could fill armor and Artillery.
But instead of spending the medals to dress these, and others, out for any one specific role, this due to earlier game limitations....i just recently decided and spent cash on Tobulkhin/Yeryomenko and the medals for Brooke. This to solve the lacking Arty issue.
Dont misunderstand. I do have my Mainstay roled commanders, Kluge, Manstein, Guderian, Konev, Simo, Yamashita, but not all Indians can be chiefs.
And now that i have addressed my issue of lacking enough good Artillery Commanders, i can change/ upgrade others ...in due time, as i watch how the game evolves.

Well, with your roster you can afford to convert Graziani to another "resource" hybrid. As it is well-known, money is the sinews of war... There isn't such a thing as enough resources in WC4. Especially in Challenge conquests and Defence missions. |

Germany 39 After winning with france by following my challenges rules, I went with Germany to try out the different factions perspective  Safe to say its more challenging than France lol, i thought of repeating the same thing i did before(escape to iberia and push back) but the balkan spam and soviets are too much to ignore it’s definitely doable however should i also make a separate thread for this i dont want to clog this with just my playthroughs 😂 |

You know... "between the devil and the deep blue see", "from the frying pan and into the fire", "between the hammer and the anvil". In other words they be smashed by one side or the other. Yet, if you prove me wrong I will be happy to confess my mistake |

Yeah, big enough for a thread. And it would be interesting to see you test Stoic's point about Hungary, etc. ...or would making enemies of bordering smaller allies prove beneficial.
Regardless, 1943 Balkan region wasn't easy even under regular conditions, but maybe added resources from friendly neighbors might prove the opposite?

Ok Gentlemen/Ladies...
So far this has been a fun little experiment but I have another item.
The Alaska Challenge just came out as I saw (after a nap😊)...and...drum roll....the Titan Sub is available to us in it.
The What If is....which commanders (f2p/iap) could/should skipper it?
(Is the Titan just a sub? Or a sub surface missile platform? Maybe to be discussed under units thread?)
I dont know all of the purple IAP commanders or their specialty skills, so this should help everyone.
Im going to add Nimitz for now, though I am sure he is not the best. Im not sure if Air stars even help much on sub based missiles, but with your contributions, I bet the best candidates will be posted/nominated.
Just imagine we're the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon during the mid 20th century.😄

One thing is sure, the guy should have the skills of an Air as well as of a Navy general. Probably the former are more important yet we shouldn't neglect the latter as well, I think.
Out of all f2p generals I see Yamamoto as the best candidate, and, again, my cheap alternative to Yamamoto, namely Halsey should do the job fine as well.
Out of all p2w generals Spurance has an ability to increase damage when launching missiles, if I am not mistaken.

I was wrong... Since Typhoon doesn't counterattack Navy skills are of no use at all. So it is a unit of a pure Air general, or Sokolovsky.

But your idea with sprunance is good, his skill got changed, that it improved the missile sub. Not just aircraft carrier, Like before.
But only aircraft stars increase the damage. First i thought the submarine could also Attack Like normal and you have to choose If you attack with missile or normal Torpedosthe round,then i had yamaguchi in mind with the Air stars and naval assault. but my suggestion was wrong, sadly.

Moreover, Spruance’s skill actually DOESN’T applies to missiles with nuke warheads, because I had tested it with him, Sokolovsky and a Zhukov with 5 air stars in challenge difficulty Pacific Allied 3 using Koiso on full stack rocket as target, both Spruance and Zhukov dealt 344 per nuke missile while the two launched by Sokolovsky dealt 548-594. PS: Sokolovsky’s Strategic Attack CAN’T put marker on target via air raid, missile or nuke, just in case anyone forgets about that. |

What if?.....
You put Arnold on the Typhoon/Mi-24 Hind (with Inferior Victory)?
I dont have Arnold and as my Air gens are also resource hybrids, these would be less than perfect for these elite units....but Arnold....he has stars and skills for Air, and Rumor works on the Hind, I believe.
Thoughts?

Thoughts? Not only Rumor, terrain bonuses like plain or jungle also work. I haven't tested Explosives, but likely it does work too. So, all of a sudden, Yamamoto is an excellent good option for commanding Mi-24 with Explosives, Jungle (probably better than plain because of a unused medal) and Rumor. Arnold can do the same but without Explosives. |

Does anyone else use Pavlov as an inf gen despite developing him for tanks? I know I did, and I use him on Medics or Warzone, such as the one located in the Dutch East Indies - Australia region. In the amphibious assault battle featuring one inf landing craft, I used Pavlov to keep the unit alive and to add atk to it.
I've used him on inf more than tanks by now.
Also, how do you farm Tickets? I feel like I run out every few days, and it's not because I fail the Hard defence missions.
Crazy how farming Warzone enough to win Events allows one to farm Warzone even more efficiently, and the cycle continues.

I don't apply extraordinary efforts to get them, just do regular stuff...  |

Yeah..i noticed that about Yamamoto and used him. So terrain skills also work...🤔...wondering now which ones would help Yamamoto for both air and sea without compromising either. Inferior victory would be nice as it works on single formation units, and carriers and the hind are under this category.

Yet, it is interesting to know where do you fail
