So I started trying out jcash's strategy to beat the aliens as Egypt (http://european-war-4.boards.net/thread/602/egypt-1-star-1975-guide) that is based on kanue's "how to kick alien arse" (http://european-war-4.boards.net/thread/437/kick-alien-arse). The first couple of times I started invading the middle east and got defeated there, so I decided to wait untill I got better artillery and upgraded it twice. Now I tried it again. I rounded up a group of ra and just as I wanted to go to the middle east, I saw this coming towards me:  And just a couple of round later there were even more:  After one round all my artillery without generals were destroyed and only had manstein and dowding on an ra. Another round later dowding was killed and 2 rounds later, manstein was killed aswell. The northern ufo's were coming for Alexandria and after that they focused on my troops or cairo and the southern ufo's were focused on Cairo. Has this happened to anyone else and anyone know how to prefent this from happenening? After I got defeated I got the same outcome. Any tips are welcome. Even when playing france, something simmilar happened. At round 13, there were 3 carriers and a UFO from the north, 6 UFO's and a carrier coming from Rome and one UFO from the east. Not to mention one carrier and 2 UFO's that came the round before that and were killed. |

The Light Bringer , Infantry is not a good distraction for UFO's but only for the carriers as UFO's deal 75% more damage to infantery and can continue after destroying an enemy unit, according to Kanue's previously mentioned post. And with ranged artillery do you mean field or rocket artillery? I do want to thank you for your response  . Any other tips, advice or strategies are highly appreciated.

I think he red this topic.. So we should try to help him further.. Atm i can explain only 2 reason you loose like this 1. You are to defensive/slow... Normally this wave of ufos should be there after killing middle eas and balkan.. So why dont u got more countries and with it more economy? 2. Your tech tree is still in baby seabert face and you should not try more then axis 1-3  |

Also you can try other 1* countries. Egypt is one of the easiest, but different people are better at different things. Maybe try Japan?

I have already tried japan but got stopped somewhere in the USA, I also tried other countries and got the furtherst with Russia and with Egypt. Singlemalt, I have already completed all 1-3 stars of the first four era's and gotten all of those achievements except the world conqueror achievement. I also know that I am not that fast and not that good in this game but that is why I seek help here, so I can learn from my mistakes and get better. |

To do Egypt, do not hesitate and immediately send every single RA you built from Cairo to Saudi Arabia with all your artillery generals on it, keep on building and stay about 3-4 RA in Egypt with 1 mid-class artillery general to defend when 1-2 UFO is heading towards either Alexander or Cairo (have FA staying in Cairo) others build a defence line over Saudi, this could separate the waves of UFOs and make it easier to handle. 1 more advice is to have your units staying together and avoid gaps among units to avoid any isolation during aliens waves OwO

Try Thailand. You are not attacked when you start so you have time to build your force before allien attack.
You have China nearby which you can steal cities from.
