Interesting... I got Vatutin then Govorov then Gunderian. I felt it was a more balanced approach to tanks and artillery. I think this have to be quite goo sequence. I just felt ok without Guderian and bought even Vasilevsky before him to proceed with missions and in fact there is a place for infantry general in every campaign (at least almost every, I don't remember for sure). Sure, tank/art gen in appropriate unit could perform better, but infantry gen can be quite useful too. |

Agreed... Meyer is only good as a beginner general or not at all. I did use him for a while. After Badogilo and Ozawa, I got Vatutin. He's good for his price and serves well until the Aliens. Did you build the pyramids and other medal wonders yet? No I haven't build them yet (only 123 energy and very little tech). What about Crerar or Auchincheck? |

Gather up medals from conquests and some easier campaigns, plus you're automatically gathering the resources as you play the conquests. The medal wonders aren't that hard to get. |

Can you please tell me what is the KO column in the general profiles and what would happen if it max out? |

The KO is simply a statistic of how many kills you got by this general. You will have to ask kanue if he has ever maxed out KOs on a general. He has extremely high KOs counts because he farms in WC3 like no one else. |

Most likely because you sent him on a mission and have to wait for it to end before you can dismiss him. To be honest, why would you dismiss a general often? It waste 20% of your medals buying, then selling that general. In an entire WC3 game, it would make sense to dismiss only 3 times or less from the start to the end. Most purchases should be considered going for the absolutely best generals like Gunderian, Govorov, etc and not sell them at all. |

Is there any way to wipe out artillery effectively? Only a few HP is reduced when I attack them by a panzer or an infantry.

If you'll notice, sometimes you'll see yellow birds beside a unit. There will be a tiny red arrow pointing up. Do not attack these units because they won't take much damage, and will retaliate quite effectively.
Sometimes a unit will have a blue bird with a downward pointing arrow. Always ttack these units, as they will collapse like a tissue paper house in a thunderstorm.
If your units have yellow birds, they attack about 50% more effectively and take 50% of the damage. (These aren't official numbers. This is just a guess based on observation.)
If your units have blue birds, only make attacks of desperation with them because they are about half as effective as normal.
So, what does this have to do with your question? Well, your units, (and the computer's,) get yellow birds by doing something great, like destroying hordes of infantry units which attack it one at a time. You get blue ones by getting flanked.
You can, by placing two units directly opposite each other, cause a blue bird to appear on your foe, or reduce a yellow to no bird. I have completely surrounded a difficult unit, such as a tank general, and multiple down arrows have appeared. Your first attack in such a case is devastating. I have used this tactic to isolate a difficult unit, and so long as the encircled unit cannot one-shot any unit that is part of your encirclement, you need only replace your wounded unit each turn and the surrounded unit will slowly self destruct as you move the battlefield away further isolating the encircled unit.
I am uncertain of the mechanics of the morale feature, so I am unsure of the exact math. I know morale drops when you flank, (have units opposite one another and adjacent to the enemy unit,) and that the third pair of flankers adds a second down arrow to the enemy, but how much improvement you get from the second and third pair of flankers is still a mystery to me.

Just look at the level of blue arrows. The 2nd or 3rd flanker doesn't add another level of morale drop. But it is possible to add another level IF ALL possible surrounding hexes are filled with your units (or allies on your side).
Most of the time, a pair of flanking units gives one decrease of morale, and you go ahead and attack it. It's not practical to completely surround a lone unit which ties down too much of your forces. It becomes wasteful.
