Commander! We have formed a new state of Moldavia. We need your help to bring greatness to Moldavia.
Hello and welcome to my second guide, Moldavia 1809.
Generals used:
Sophia (5* art) on starting double siege artillery
Kleist (Dresden tavern) on double guards
Wrede (Dresden tavern) on double guards
Nenadovic (Belgrade tavern) on single militia
Yermolov (Minsk tavern) on double guards
Grouchy (Paris tavern) on double heavy artillery
Picton (London tavern) on double machine guns
Moldavia starts with a terrible economy and threatened by Ottoman and Wallachian armies. 1809 is slanted against Coalition, too. So I’m going to show you a way to decorate your conquest menu and do a rather unusual but still good for medal conquest. Alright, let’s build the Moldavian Empire!
Early Expansion
Generals used: Mourosis, Sophia
Commander! We are surrounded by hostile armies. We must expand to survive. The whole army is ready at your discretion.
You might think Bucharest would be a good target, but it’s not. You will find yourself in the middle of Wallachian and Ottoman armies if you do, and a meager three units won’t do.
Instead, attack the level 1 Ottoman town. Kill the light infantry and cavalry, then take the town. Try to use Sophia the most to preserve your army.
Romanian Unification
Generals used: Mourosis, Sophia
The flank of our army has been secured. We must annex Wallachia to boost our economy and unify the land of Romania.
Start besieging Bucharest. Do not rush, just be cautious. If you have taken Bucharest by turn 6, upgrade it. If you have not, upgrade Kishinev instead. After Bucharest falls you would have a solid economic base so it should be easy.
Serbian Wars
Generals used: Mourosis, Sophia
The Ottoman Empire has invaded Serbia. They have fallen under the sheer pressure of the Ottoman armies. Commander, repulse the Ottoman and take Serbia.
Belgrade is your objective. When you have taken it, just spam and continue on. Deal with Pasha by machine guns and spammed infantry.
Do not forget to build your economy. At turn 35, Nenadovic will be available. Spawn single formation militia and put him there when you can and rush him into Istanbul for income.
Siege of Istanbul
Generals used: Sophia
Commander! the Ottomans have been weakened. It is time to lead the decisive thrust against their capital.
Produce a unit from Bucharest. Team the unit up with Sophia to take Plovdiv then Istanbul. Selim III will just stand there receiving cannonballs, so it should be easy.
Anatolian Campaign
No generals
After the fall of their capital, the Ottomans have retreated inland into Anatolia. Take Anatolia and land another blow to the Ottomans.
Pretty easy, land at Bursa, advance into Izmir taking the factory alongside. If any problems occur, send reinforcements from Istanbul. However, allocate your resources sparingly here as this is a secondary front.
Fall of the Ottoman
Generals used: Sophia
The last strongholds of the Ottomans lie in Greece and Albania. Take them and end Ottoman resistance.
Use Sophia to take Tirana, Uskup, and the stable. Use them to prepare an Italian landing. When you have sufficiently prepared, spawn troops and cannon for taking any other Ottoman cities left, mop up the Ottoman.
Again, this is a secondary front, so don’t waste too much.
Battle of Vienna
Generals used: Mourosis
Commander! Austrian forces under Archduke Charles have been heavily pressured in Vienna. We must relieve their pressure and save an important stronghold of the Coalition.
Go from Serbia to Zagreb, and then spam guards there to Vienna. Retake anything that might have been taken by the Italians/Naples/Ottomans.
Naples Landings
Generals used: Sophia
The Italian Peninsula is our next target. Land at Naples and secure a foothold in Italy. Commander, you must be aware of the Naples and Italian navies.
Assemble a force of heavy cavalry and cannon, land at Bari (in my attempt Murat attacks Two Sicilies, if not it might be harder). Spam siege artillery and seize Naples.
Dresden Campaign
Generals used: Mourosis, Kleist (in tavern), Wrede (in tavern)
Commander! High Command has found a perfect place to start our assault on the Confederation of the Rhine: Dresden. Take Dresden and defend it at all costs.
Advance from Vienna to Dresden taking other places alongside; assign both generals on double guards ASAP. Start dispatching troops to the Alps.
Retreat to Poland
No generals
After the fall of Berlin, the remnants of Prussia have retreated into Poland. Russia has supported the retreat, and we must too. Clear out any Polish forces and secure the line of retreat.
Let’s be real here, Wilhelm isn’t strong enough to hold Berlin and you’re not strong enough to retake Berlin yet.
Steal a Russian city and spawn troops; spam heavy artillery from Iasi. Priority generals to kill are Davout, Poniatowski, and Dombrowski. Then march to Minsk and steal it. Remember, s/l to make sure Russia doesn’t turn neutral.
Italian Campaign
Generals used: Sophia
Naples has fallen, and we must continue our advance on Italy. Advance north to the Alps.
Use Sophia to crack cities, advance north. Start building up forces for an amphibious invasion and a navy.
Dominate the Mediterranean
No generals
Commander, we must secure the Mediterranean Sea and take the surrounding islands. Our newly built navy is at your disposal.
Split your forces in two, one goes on the Sardinia-Corsica-Marseilles route, another goes to Sicily and then Africa.
Battle of the Rhine
Generals used: Mourosis, Kleist , Wrede
Commander! France has sent an army to aid the Confederation of the Rhine. This is an incredibly distressful situation. Beat back the army and secure Rhine’s defeat.
Take Frankfurt as this will be your anchor of defense. If Napoleon is with the army, kill him with a mix of machine guns and surrounding.
German Offensive
Generals used: Mourosis, Kleist , Wrede
The Coalition plans a general offensive on the German front. Our position is advantageous as it allows for a flanking of enemy troops. Aid their offensive and destroy French influence in Germany.
Attack enemy positions north. Berlin should be attacked by Russians now, try to take it. Take the remaining Rhine cities and crush them.
Invasion of Finland
Generals used: Yermolov (in tavern)
The Russians plan an attack on Sweden’s territory of Finland. This is an opportunity to expand our borders. Come attack with them.
Spawn Yermolov in Minsk tavern. Kill Dobeln with cannons if he happens to rampage in Russia, land at Helsinki, capture Turku and the fort. Land at Stockholm.
Alpine Campaign
Generals used: Sophia
Ahead of our army lays the natural barrier of the Alps. Take the Swiss and Italian Alps and regroup with our armies in Germany.
Advance on Milan, Zurich, and Torino. As usual, Sophia as city and fort cracker. Then join forces with your German armies.
Conquer North Africa
No generals
Commander! North Africa has valuable resources and territory. You must seize it to bring those resources and land to our nation.
Use your Sicily army to land at Tunisia, if it has fallen retake the Tunisian cities, then advance to Algeria, take Algiers and crush Algeria.
Race to Paris
Generals used: Sophia
Commander! It is time to destroy Napoleon’s empire. We are planning a thrust on Paris to depose Napoleon. This campaign will decide the fate of Europe.
Take Metz and Nancy; spawn heavy cavalry/armored car there, heavy and siege artillery too. Advance to Paris, this should be quite easy if Napoleon is dead. If he’s not, surround with your troops and use Sophia.
Scandinavian Campaign
Generals used: Wrede, Yermolov
Commander, we have secured a hold in Stockholm. It is time to advance inland to the Scandinavian Peninsula.
Yermolov will be with your troops in Stockholm, use him to advance and take cities in the peninsula. Wrede will clear out Denmark.
Fall of Napoleon
Generals used: Sophia
Commander! The enemy’s capital has fallen and they have retreated. It is time we conquer France and deprive the Grande Armée of their support.
Use your Paris army to advance to Clermont, Nantes, and Lyon. Your army in Marseilles advances to Toulouse and Bordeaux. Destroy the spammed forts with Sophia.
Advance to the Channel
Generals used: Kleist, Wrede, Grouchy
Commander! A portion of the Grande Armée has invaded Great Britain. We must take the Channel ports to prepare our relief expedition.
Use Wrede to conquer the Netherlands, Kleist and Grouchy crushes the French Navy. Spam double guards. Send guard cavalry from Nantes to take Brest and Le Havre.
Peninsular War
Generals used: Sophia (not used a lot)
The French expeditionary force in Spain has been trapped. We must destroy them and aid Spain and Portugal. We plan an attack on all sides.
Replenish and build up your North African army. They take Valencia and Albacete. Advance your armies near Bordeaux and Toulouse to Barcelona. Build frigates at Toulon for support. Take the other Spanish cities and factories.
The French generals would be injured or dead, so it’s quite easy to kill them. Lannes is your only problem, but with your OP economy it would be easy to spam troops and kill him.
Relief of Britain
Generals used: Kleist, Wrede, Picton
Commander! The last of France are isolated in Britain. We must crush them and end this war.
Land at Britain, focus on taking London. Build up your navy at Le Havre to deal with Plymouth and Southampton. Assign Picton on double machine gun to kill French generals. Advance inland if the French have.
That’s it. The flag of Moldavia has been raised in Europe as a superpower.
Tips:
-Build up your econ. Compromise and calculate.
-Use double guards and double heavy cavalry as your main units. They are OP in the Ottoman system.
