Ok so I conquer London, then I got surrounded by enemy generals but i find my way to eliminate them. when I try to capture Plymouth Drudmond shoots my army in 1000 pieces. There is a nooby general in Dublin but when try to take it the enemy has already made my troops bleeding. Western English fleet can be destroyed but then comes the troll Western fleet and bombs my troops to scorched corpses. Ugh!
List of Generals:
-Golitsyn (rank 98, nob 5) -Drudmond (better than the one on the map rank 110 nob 6) -Rowland (not too bad but not good) -Sophia (rank 98 and nob 6)

I went for an all our attack. No defense or anything just charge Wellesley and kill him with Drummond and Sophia. After you have London, the French generals can take out Drummond. The British fleet keeps beating you because you have no naval general. I think that spending a dollar to unlock the next general slot would be worth it. Kate is a great naval general and very easy to earn in Britain 1775 conquest. So while Drummond is attacked your other generals should defend London from the other British generals. When they are all dead Dublin is easy to take. But in my game I had Kate and defeated the British fleet so I didn't have their interference.

Before I wrote this, I replayed the mission with 4 generals; Sophia, Ney, Sakurako, and Isabela. So this should be done without the need of godly generals. Fleet in the West- Engage the British fleet under Sydney command. - Try to suffer as less damage as you can by hiding behind Spanish fleet. - Just fight defensively. The goal is to keep them occupied. In the East- Move all units from Amsterdam to join with your main force in north of Paris - Jervis's fleet will attack Amsterdam. Do not try to defeat them. Just defend Amsterdam with line infantry and cheap forts. - Try to take out the land units because it's them, not Jervis, that can come and take Amsterdam. - Watch out for the guard cavalry as it can kill and capture the city. If your line infantry has low health then move him out and train a new one. - If you do it well, Jervis and his troops will be around there for the rest of the mission. Landing on Britain- Gather all of your troops in the north of Paris. This includes units that originally station in Amsterdam, Nantes and the artillery near Brest. - Move these troops on land along the northern coast. If they get into the sea they will be attacked by ships. - Wait until all of your troops are assembled in the north of Paris before start crossing to the Britain. - While waiting you can use a ship at Lehavre to get free attacks on British guard cavalry at Southampton. But do not kill the unit just leave him barely alive. - Land on the coast of Britain starting from Southampton to the west coast of London. Most of Jervis fleet should be occupied at Amsterdam so you won't have a hard time landing. Taking Britain- Southampton should be easily taken since it has been attacked by ship right from the beginning. - Upgrade the city so that you can build reinforcement from there. - Use Sophia to take out the fort north of London. - Use artillery to bombard on London. Do not rush on taking out Wellesley if your troops are not very strong. - More important thing is get rid of British artillery and taking the industry and stable there. - When you surround London, it will eventually fall. Just send Wellesley cannonballs - Then take Birmingham. Rowland is likely just sitting there. So attack him with the same artillery you used on London. - During this period, Paget will come and join the fight from the north. He will come attacking cities so you can defend the city with line infantry and weaken him with artillery. - You do not have to take Liverpool. If you do you will need to destroy the fort there too. So I suggest ignoring it and make your defend line at Birmingham. - Now go attack Plymouth. If your artillery general is commanding rocket launcher then you should have no problem taking the city. Otherwise, Drummond might be a bit annoying. Taking Dublin- From the port in the north of Plymouth, build ships to attack Dublin. - Now send you land troops to take the city. I suggest getting your troops into the sea from north of Plymouth or east of Birmingham so you can avoid British troops and forts near Liverpool. - You don't need to take the port south of Ireland. Just go directly to Dublin. - Just attack the city with ships or artillery. Alten, the general there, is not strong so you can easily take the city and win the mission. Tip- You are given a lot of troops at the beginning so you probably have spare gold during the first few rounds. I suggest upgrading Nancy, Brussels, and Amsterdam to max level for steady income later on.

Ok Thx for your post I kinda discovered that myself too. Ok I am now at this stage: Wellesley is rekt by arty, Drudmond is beaten. I am holding plymouth and London. London is defendable, Plymouth too, but when I try to give the enemy the final blow by taking Dublin but the remains of the British army and navy shoots my whole expedition army in million pieces.

Nailed it, 5 stars: I moved half of my army to dublin to take it. The other half distracted the Birmingham armies. I kept spamming line infantries every turn in plymouth and London

I basically used Mountbatten's strategy with one major addition: I literally built a wall of forts between Brussels and Amsterdam. Never had to worry about Paris that way

If it's left open, Jervis may sail in the southwest towards the English Channel.

It's been a while..Who do you got Well yeah, I had some problems with my device. I managed to complete it with a change of strategy, but I only got three stars-because the enormous landing took some more time than expected. I have Sophia, Golitsyn, Sulkowski and Kate( Just got her recently from GB 1775, I'm not impressed by her performance).

However, since she lacks Geography, she has to rely on movement *s to be able to move 3-4 hexes. If you can, let her spearhead the amphibious forces and knock out the coastal forts first. Then, let her fire away at the Large Fort north of London.
