I am stuck, I have all my techs maxed out that are allowed before the pacific front and have a (pretty close to) Maxed out Messe as my only general. I always run out of turns trying to take Manstien in Berlin with his Super Tank. That coupled with the fact that America, England and the Northern division of my soviet union allies fail to ever take their objectives making me have to take them. Any hints would be appreciated.

You start out with a nuke. Manstein can be lured out of the city by placing a trash infantry unit three squares away. He’ll come out to kill it. When he does, nuke him. Then focus fire with everything you have.

Thanks. It is so tempting to play the hacked version to solve my issue, but I wil grind through first.

Then focus fire with everything you have. Welp after my third try, I can confirm mastien is not as dumb as he looks. After about 15 tries he will not budge. Spent 8 turns on my first try waiting to see if he would leave berlin, he never did. The infantry unit (low on health) never died. Second attempt I tried having him surrounded by infantry that were three hexes away, still no luck. On my third playthrough I made a small line of one infantry unit near him (one hex away) then one a little farther (2 hexes) and finally one out of his reach (3 hexes) kind of like a bread crumb trail. He never moved to get nuked. Currently I am assuming that the only way to win this it by buying two IAP generals and guderian as well as rommel

You might also try attacking a nearby city. That sometimes makes generals move out to confront you.

I captued all nazi occupied cities, he would not budge. I then spammed heavy tanks and some rocket artillary, but he typically one shots the artillary and three shots the heavy tanks.

Well I got manstien out of berlin and nuked him, but it only did 200 damage which is nothing to a 600 health super tank that makes a living out of one shotting expensive troops

Ok I beat it on the 32 turn mark. Manstien was beyond overkill to take out. All I have to say is easytech needs to modify those hit percentages with rockets as 60% is more like 10%

I did it with Messe only, but for 2 stars. All your Allies in this mission, though strong on paper, simply can't do anything useful. I was forced to recapture cities controlled by Britain!!!

For what IRL was a easy campaign they sure make this a hard one. In the briefing it mentions the allies outnumber the German army but I am not sure about that...

And moreover, and that is annoying, your allies hire only infantry and light artillery, while Germans replace their losses with elite units...
