It depends on what are the general assignment You are making in the very begining of the mission, as it could be quite difficult not only in this mission to go further without general assignments.
But main issue is to focus Your main forces on British first. Don't attack Prussians (Frankfurt) in the very begining - it will take 6-7 rounds for them to start acting.
Use your ship to stop the rocket artillery coming from England.
Try to assign two artillery generals for 2×heavy & 2×light artillery, your best infantry general for 3×guards in Paris and note You have 300 gold, use it for 3×guard purchase and assign another infantry general, You also have 2×heavy cavalry for assigning cavalry general. That is more than enough to smash English, taking into account that You have default french generals in this mission.
Use artillery for the most powerful enemy infantry generals, so they can't give a return attack.
If You was able to beat English and Blucher that means You was close as there were only two prussian generals more to beat. So You only need not to lose Your generals too early.
Don't forget to maneuver while attacking in order to decrease the morale of the enemy troops.

I beat this with two stars, which is better than nothing, using just the princesses Sophia, Kate, and Fatimah. I used Kate on the battleship to the west, Fatimah on the tier 2 heavy cavalry next to Grouchy, and Sophia on the tier 2 heavy artillery near Napoleon. I attacked Frankfurt with Grouchy and Fatimah but immediately had to retreat due to Blucher. I used the 'exploit' of how enemy AI attacks fortifications that are being built to distract him and killed him with Grouchy. I brought Kate up to Britain's coast to attack Picton while he was distracted with Napoleon and Ney. After I took him out, Wellesley overextended and was easy to kill with Sophia. Capturing Amsterdam should be easy without those two in your way. I then used the cavalry stable near Amsterdam to mass produce units to attack Berlin. While this was all happening I had Fatimah and Grouchy defending Frankfurt from Austria. Then everybody else went across the northern border to Berlin and captured it. BTW both Napoleon and Ney were borderline dead by the time I captured Amsterdam so they didn't do much after that. I just relied on regular troops.

That is good, you spotted the fortifications disrupts AI attacking accuaracy it gives you more time to prepare. Could I ask you what strategy could you derive for me.
Generals
Suvorov 4 star generals near Marshal. Movement is 3
L'estocq badass on light calvary Colonel near Brigadier uses snare drum.
Isabella I have problem with her dealing high damage.
Fatima should I place her in Paris or on Heavy calv next to grouchy?
Frederick (Rhine general) 4 star in infantry deals heavy attack while with grenadiers. Took little damage
45-60 damage on its own to fortress. I played him once noticed 39-51 against Guards especially picton.
he is a field marshal but his movement is too low compared to picton. When defending I put snare drum on him.
I have Huarte he deal HUGE damage to 3-4 star artillery generals and 63-78 to British calvaries.
Where placement & assignment for my general is advisable>-<?

Other than replacing Frederick, Huarte, and L'estocq (50 on Grenadiers is normal for a 4* general) with competent people (see Erich von Manstein's recommendations), not much. You need new generals, put them on respective units, and use as has been detailed above |

After taking Amsterdam and killing Blücher, use Napoleon to battle at Frankfurt. AI guns for him. Using another general and fort spam there does well with diverting the bulk of Prussian and Austrian armies.
Make use of morale ups and drops well.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Fredrick is an econ general right? He's made redundant with Fatimah, even more if you have Napoleonic Code. I don't know why you have a problem with Isabela, she is amazing. Use Ney and Isabela with Suvorov to Berlin. Some other generals might be used.

Frederick is an Econ General, and a crappy one (econ expert only). This guest (Gasai Yuno) is a huge fan of Frederick for no reason I can discern |

granny's terror, Just rush the British, and then rush the prussians, leave a few units to guard your austrian flank and you should be fine, After all, you have some pretty good generals. If thats not working, well, play the game a little slower, and make sure you are demoralizing enemies when ever you can, attack with arty first, stuff like that. *side note, it doesn't really give an advantage to the other side, since alot of their generals cant move untill later in the game. also Austria and Prussia dont make full money on their cities, AND you have better generals and the ability to add more generals like your princesses.

The Brits are weak IMO since they are all on infantry or RA. Make sure you move carefully and think out each move, once you totally (wipe out everything) defeat the Brits in Amsterdam, move on to Prussia with same tactic. Prussia doesn't have very good gens, Blucher maybe, but nothing to heavy to stress about. I would personally send a cav gen and Arty gen (Napoleon and Isabella) up through Oldenburg and defeat Clausewitz. All others attack Frankfurt and Brunswick. Use Sophia to smash the two forts around Berlin. Use Isabella, Sophia (if still alive) and Grouchy to bombard Berlin. Then send whichever general is still alive to capture the city. Austrians? Don't worry about them too much. Radetzky didn't even leave Munich and Keinmayer didn't reach me in time in my play-through. If he does reach you, just bomb him with arty, he is very weak so can't do much. If this doesn't work tell me and i can try and play through it again just using Sophia. |

If you felt the advice provided was not enough, how about asking a more specific question...

I JUst finished that mission with 2 stars. I had only sophia and the redt was game standart generals. I threw everything on the british and on the prussian site i made a wall of infantry with artillery to back up. When blücher attacked i ambushed him and surrounded him from all sides and finished him. After i took amsterdam i sent napoleon sophia and some other units for berlin while the rest was defending the border with prussia. After that berlin was easy just the prussians were too much so it took me a while to take stuttgart and win the game. Hope it helps!
