You need to help Zhukov capture the city he attacks. That will boost the morale of the allies and life will become much easier in this mission. Otherwise Zhukov will fight with spawning(again and again) german units in this city and finally die. There is nothing you can do about that. After the city is captured Zhukov says something like that: "All attack, for Motherland!"... And straight to Manstein... It maybe unpatriotic but I don't follow him :0) Moral is boosted, but it doesn't help much. You need a buildup before attacking Berlin... You unpatriotism is nothing compared to AI Zhukov questioning our dedication to the cause in WC3, "We won't win this war if you don't try your best to fight against the enemy's elite troops". Excuse me, I HURLED EVERYTHING I'VE GOT AT KESSELRING & HEINRICI yet you attacked WITHOUT support and WITHOUT your other forces but you have the gall to question my dedication?! You are trying to commit suicide for nothing to gain for our cause while I try to do YOUR job & MY job at the same time yet you QUESTIIN ME?! Yeah, lone wolf attacks never will work out well, let him die on his own! |

I occupied the city when Zhukov was half health and the city where Heavy tanks could be built was already mine. I used nuke when Zhukov approached Berlin. Americans occupied the city in the east before that and by the time of my own attack Manstein had 40% of the health or even lower. |

I didn't get any substantial help neither from compatriots nor from Allies... And what was annoying, American units always move before attack, though it was possible simply to kill injured Germans within the city with one unit and occupy it with another... |

Does anyone have a more detailed guide? My main issue is that my allies tend to do next to nothing and usually die in the process of doing said nothing. The German generals are also kind of strong, and I only have messe. Ugh.

Nuke? What nuke? I have tried to complete this mission about 10 times and am failing miserably. Any advice would be much appreciated.
I have Leeb & Messe as generals but they are getting obliterated by the the German supertank. (I manage to beat the super mortar in the south but at massive cost to my forces)
I've tried to the South but the remaining Russians and Brits to the North get wiped out, so I can't get near Berlin. I've gone North to save them and the US in the South get wiped out. I've split my forces North and South to save my allies and they sit around twiddling their thumbs and ignoring Berlin and I have lost all my forces protecting them.....
This is SO frustrating. I have completed all the other 1939 missions easily but am now blocked from progressing by this one mission.
H...E...L...P!

There is a nuke at your disposal. A singular nuke. I would suggest trying to utilize Rumor to try and question mark the super artillery to cut losses.

Advance with 2 groups, one force to thrust West with Messe in supertank, 1 South-Southwest with Leeb on the RA.
Work with Soviet allies to take base in front of you, while your troops takeover the base with the special yellow halo.
Southern forces to later swing Northwards towards Prague then to Munich with USA, taking over Nuremburg if you can.
Central forces will push North, avoid Rundstedt, save the British & work with allies to takeover Hamburg (avoid Runstedt who leaves the city alone after some time.)
Also, spawn 1 armoured car in threatened Northern cities.
By now, you have besieged Berlin, build an army &/or strategic bomb the city.
When city HP is 0, nuke Manstein. (Refer to Tutorial 3 for more info on nukes)
Then, charge Manstein with everything you've got! Making sure that you have lots of arty.

put your generals in best units super tank and south units attack south then attack Prague then attack to Munich with nuck then capture it the north group attack to city(Maybe you can't get so do air raids) then from that city make rocket launcher and attack Berlin a lot then capture another cities with air raids. I only use messe and tito

The first time you play this mission will always be a pain in the neck. Then you come back three months later with Guderian, Konev, and cold war-tech and this mission will be an easy three stars

I tried this, and I gotta say there's some random chances here with a bit of luck required, my only general is leeb, so the first thing I did was use leeb on the 3x stacked rocket artillery then move the heavy tank, 3x stacked rocket artillery and 1 howitzer down on the city south of those three to take it, then I held my supertank and motorized infantry with medium tank and 2x stacked howitzers and let Zhukov and the others damage the city in front of starting position, soon I made them attack trying to take as little damage as possible and take that city, then Zhukov will say something and you get a morale boost, at the same time as all those was happening I attacked and took the city at the south and launched my attack using the remaining of the three units that attacked the south on the city with the super artillery, leeb was the only one left for me at this point and I chanced it with the "60% chance the enemy won't counterattack when you attack" that rocket artillery has, meanwhile the other group with the supertank I used them to lure the general guarding the city with the level 3 airport out of his city, and I ignored him completely and just attacked and took his city, luckily the Americans actually took the city they initially attacked so I didnt have to worry about it but the north side wasn't going so well so I sent the supertank to take care of it, it was a struggle but I took the two cities with just the supertank and making light infantry/assault infantry to hold the cities, the Americans helped me take the city with the super artillery but unfortunately leeb couldn't get past the general I lured out, so I had to spawn a lot of rocket artillery to slowly but surely destroy the supertank in Berlin, also I nuked berlin the moment I could use the level three airport, as I was spawning rocket artillery tho Rundstedt attacked and harassed the city I was building them on so it took me w a y too many turns to finish and I finished at 1 star..so this isn't exactly the best guide but like I said, there's a bit of luck needed in this level, also I took Berlin easily once the supertank and Rundstedt eventually died, in my other runs, the group in berlin by the border of the city you attack in front of your starting position suddenly rushed as well as the general your supposed to lure out and i took way too much damage, in another attempt i just straight up died and all the allies were just useless, maybe its because i have just one general but eitherway there is some rng to this level
