This is going to be my most detailed guide ever probably. I will be going over generals, exact movement, and strategies.
First, the generals I used
Isabela (on double light artillery)
Berthier (on double AC in Libya)
Sophia (on siege in France)
Golitsyn (on double AC in France)
If you wonder why I was using Isabela and Berthier in N Africa it's because the terrain is much harsher than in France and Italy and because I'll need movement to combat the Ottomans quickly afterwards.
I split my armies into 3 visible as A, B, and C. Army A goes towards Algeria and with Isabela their defeat will be very quick. If you want I suppose you could send in that light cavalry but I personally wouldn't as the Algerians rarely recruited someone new into the city.
Army B is a fortress and single heavy artillery. Use them to bombard MacDonald for now. He will attack at some point. Just recruit more and more troops because by then your economy is stable. He didn't notice the fort so mine just destroyed him.
Army C does the most difficult task. You will need all of them to conquer Bordeaux quickly. I recommend you do this last and save the game before you do it. Don't forget to encircle the city with your cavalry and infantry. If you want you can s/l hoping that a cavalry attack will drop their morale.
Army A lands in Oran and moves towards Algiers with your fleet. Defend Algiers for some time against Agha and when he's weak launch an attack against him. I moved Isabela towards Libya after this so I could recruit cavalry finally. The recruited Algerians should take the last cities and then the ones in Libya as well since you'll be shipping Isabela and your cav general to the other part of Libya. I then used my N Africa Army to land in Sicily and help my other armies.
Edit: I just realized I put A on the red one, it should've been C.
From Bordeaux move to Clermont and Nantes. There's a city above Nantes so that that as well and then send your North France Army to assist the British at Paris. Your army in Clermont goes to Marseilles (with the one from Barcelona) and Dijon. Your goal is weakening the French economy so take as many cities as you can.
In Barcelona I've been able to recruit Sophia ~turn 7 or 8. I used her to finish MacDonald and then move to Marseilles with Army C. Use her and later all of Army C to go for Italy with the N Africa Army landing in Sicily. Then go for the Ottomans from both sides.
