I have just cleared Rescue the ally VI. This was the last challenge VI, and all other challenges VI and even one VII I have cleared without any problems. Don't know, may be now some other VII challenges are also available to clear, as since last time I tried them, I have bought some tech upgrades and also Yamamoto.
In this challenge you play for USSR versus USA. You start in China and enemy have 2 cities on islands, one city with missiles and other only with airport. The biggest problem is that enemy kills the ally which have to be saved with missiles. You have one super tank, commando, motorized infantry, carrier, submarine, one port and no cities. The generals I used there are: Guderian, Yamamoto, Mannerheim, Bradley, Badoglio and Weichs (with no promotions, hp the same as when I have bought them), level 11 tanks, level 7 artillery, level 6 aircraft and level 5 ships.
I have tried everything, even found out the way to build air defense on the spot, where the ally will go and stay there. Once he did it, and than all strikes were redirected to me, which I wasn't waiting for, and lost because of losing all my troops. After that I payed more attention to the defense, but again, ally have wasted all his fuel and couldn't go to that spot. And once he stopped in one square, other time in another, so it was impossible to get to know, where he will stay. I even haven't mentioned all those times, while I figured out what to do to prevent ally from attacking units, which kill him or prevent from capturing city.
I have tried everything: sent all troops to capture city with missiles (ally was killed), sent some troops - they didn't reach the aim, as they were killed by enemy ships. Sent some troops to capture city without missiles - again they were killed on the way. Finally I found the solution: quickly capture enemy city and drop paratrooper next to the city with missiles and load there Bradley with the help of one ship. I have captured that city very quickly, and even than ally have survived with not more than 20 hp left.
It could be very interesting, if you can control the ally which have to be saved, but this way game turns into guessing, what the ally will do.
Everyone had the same problems, or there is any trick for this challenge?

Kill Darlan, and Timoshenko will go near the ocean. I don't remember, how the enemies were called and I can't check it, as I have cleared that challenge. You mean to kill carrier and than he will go down? I was expecting him to go up, where he went after killing artillery general, but he ran out of fuel on the way almost always. In order to kill any carrier my guys were too weak. After capturing Phanom Penh, I had Guderian in super tank with come 10 hp (most of the times he was dead). Mannerheim in the city with about 150+ hp, which he was goin to loose next enemy turn after bombarding, barelly alive Yamamoto in carrier and Bradley, who was near city with missiles. Sure, some submarines and one battleship. Next turn I bought artillery with Badoglie to let Mannerheim die, and than next turn I bought artillery with Weichs. After that I could try to destroy the carrier, but as I remember, at that time Timoshenko were on his way up, so already ran out of fuel, or at least no enough to go back. BTW, last time after I captured Phanom Penh he went to attack carrier in the bottom. Luckily next turn he changed his mind, but some 10-20 hp he had lost, and because of that I could lose. |

Everyone had the same problems, or there is any trick for this challenge? I used to build air defenses near timoshenko so the radar will reduce the damage he was going to take the next turn. I also occupied the enemy city in south korea and built artillery with badoglio to fire the american troops landing in east korea. |

Luckily next turn he changed his mind, but some 10-20 hp he had lost, and because of that I could lose. when i completed the mission i didn' t even try to kill carriers. Just killed the battleship down left corner with the 2 submarines i had at the beginning and dealed some damage to darlan. The key is building air defences with radars near timoshenko |

Sell Bradley and weichs to get someone like vaututin or Rommel Bradley and Weichs are already gone. Not so long after this post game crashed and I lost my save game. Just started to play again not so long ago, for now I have only Badoglio. |

What I did to beat this was I noticed how he usually ended up in the same spot all the time and ran out of fuel. So what I did was I pre built a anti artillery defense on the hex and beat the mission

So what I did was I pre built a anti artillery defense on the hex and beat the mission I had such idea. But when I tried to implement it, Timoshenko each time stopped at different square. |
