Well the only reason i say that is because you will only be like a couple of turns into the game, even if you are not speedrunning capturing minsk before the germans spawn in mainstien makes the game move much much quicker Or just wait a bit then Germany eventually collapse easily enough if you manage to keep up the attrition in your favor. The AI tend to underestimate the artillery but overestimate the tanks. I simply just take advantage of the long-range artillery quite a lot. Russia 1943 gives you a good number of them, plus you can put in your own generals if you wish. And of course, produce some ACs/MIs to serve as rapid replacements for the front line meatshields. And given enough predicting of the AI behavior, it's easy to lay down mines for the enemy generals to step onto when they move up close next to the front line units you're using to protect your artillery. By the time Manstein and others have spawned, they're dead only in a few turns. Huh, i have never thought about using mines like that. Yes the field art are so useful, I have govrov, vonorov, and xu.S.Y which help a lot. |

What he said was true, especially when you use the river for slowing down enemies to pound them with arty. Use shields to block and flank enemies, then pound them with arty for maximum damage.

Arty early game is king, I love finland 1939, because you can easily take the russian cities to the south of you using mobile arty general, then take moscow and spam heavy tanks then clean up and expand into russia also rivers are annoing as hell

Do not waste medals on bad skills for your ECs. Mainly, Leader abilities, any fighting other than Plain, and specially not on economic skills (all the green ones, except Supply, Supply is OP). To minimize medal cost, do not upgrade all of their abilities either (at least to start off with), just focus on Marching, Air Force, and one of the other four, depending on what you want. Learned this the hard way, unfortunately :'c

Actually, I think strret fighting is kinda descent, especially on on artillery generals. Plain fighting is THE BEST. It works on anything not a city, sea, mountain, forest and desert. Street fighting is best for FA defense of cities. |

Plain fighting actually works inside a city or village, meaning it's always better than street fighting

True, but street fighting is the second-best fighting skill.

Don't underestimate naval units. 2-3 Battleships are usually strong enough to destroy a medium-rank city given the Level 2 port is nearby. Carriers are also good to build a fleet of around 12-15 of them, drag them around the coast and use them to conquer a whole coastline, such as Mainland China, Japan, or the whole American coastline (either East or West). However, these fleets are for when you have a surplus of resources, and will be less effective with air defenses set up, so consider supporting with a few Battleships in case of air defenses

You need to blow up the forts and you need the space for you annhilitation wave bound for North America. So here I'd recommend no escort navy, just the carriers and ground troop transports. |

After the first era I alway start in south America. I tried Australia but the Japanese over power me too quick. South America is best as the Japanese will take at least 30 turns to start sending forces. I send forces first to spain were there is a naval base to the west coast. I produce mostly subs as the japs have alot of carriers. They also in 1940 use alot off troops in Russian. Once you reach Germany keep building defences as u push East by this stage you should have a plentiful supply of resources concentrate on coastal defences in south America take Mexico too the small naval base will alow you to produce subs and destroyers build up a fleet and if possible join a us fleet and assist America attacking Japanese naval forces. The key is learn to fight on multiple targets don't auto game the a.i is not as good at first. Goodluck

I would only recommend street fighting for a aliens General, that can be useful for dislodging and defending against aliens(plains is still amazing don't get me wrong.)
