If the goal is not missing out on medals from invasions, upgrading your current generals is the way to go. You only need one of each type of general to complete invasions. Invasions hinge quite a lot on your general quickly burning supporting units so you have a numbers advantage. Does Konev qualify as an infantery gen with his 4 stars for infantery and raider, or do I need a gen which is focused on infantery? You could probably make Konev work for most infantry invasions, although you might consider giving him the fifth star in infantry skill. He may struggle a bit on the harder ones. Infantry invasions are the easiest if you have a good general. You can usually narrow the enemy down to choke points and then rotate you supporting units in and out to share damage. Enemies will often go into the water, which makes it easy for you to pounce. |

If you are having trouble on 5 medal invasion than I think you need to upgrade your current generals. Will be better long term because every invasion not done are medals that are lost forever so you want to be able to do as many of them as you can. What upgrades do you recommend? For Leeb I have only upgraded his movement to 3 stars. For Rommel I have upgraded armored assault to lvl 4, added lvl 2 tide of iron and lvl 5 blitzkrieg, and his marching is 3 (cause I believe it is, at standard 2 stars). For Konev I have maxed is movement (which is 4 stars) and gave him lvl 1 plain fighting and lvl 3 rumor. For Nimitz I have upgraded his movement to max (which is 4 stars). So Leeb has 1 more empty spot and Nimitz 2, when it comes to skills and I am thinking of replacing Konev's plain fighting for something else. Give Nimitz Rumor and upgrade it as much as you can. It will make Naval invasions much, much easier. Plain Fighting is a really good ability, although jungle fighting may be better for invasions. There are lots of forests on invasion maps. Max out leader abilities whenever possible. Konev can do massive damage that will save your bacon when it triggers. Focus on upgrading one general of each type for invasions. You can only use one general in invasions, so there is no point investing in upgrades for Leeb if you have Konev for artillery invasions. |

And Konev is good enough for the infantery missions? |

It’s hard for me to say because I got Yamashita really early and never had to rely on Konev for infantry invasions. If you struggle with them, definitely consider Rundstedt. |

In that case I think I am first gonna go for Rundstedt, then get Rumor lvl 5 for Nimitz and Leeb and then upgrade the leader skills. Having a good infantery leader does come in handy for some conquests. For countries like Egypt or Iran, you can create a commando or mechanized infantery with the gen on it and blitz through Africa.

One good inf General can have at least 2 great medals. For me this reason alone is sufficient to get one... |

Rundstedt is good. True. But he needs investments. In his raw state he won't change a lot in the invasions. In case invasions is the only focus for this choice I would take Konev as an infantry as he has already upgraded his Rumor...

In fact, you can put a terrain specific medal on an infantry general as a third option to really boost output. Commandos in particular can do incredible damage with the special terrain bonuses they get when you add a good general. |

So buying Rundstedt is not adviced? just upgrade my current generals for now?

So buying Rundstedt is not adviced? just upgrade my current generals for now? Look at his skills. His potential is huge as he has 2 free slots and one very good skill - Guerilla. However Guerilla is lvl1 right now. It won't change a lot. In case You expect he starts winning infantry invasions without giving him best infantry skills You'll be disappointed imo. If upgraded properly he will make difference. However it will require much more medals than You can afford now. I think Konev's Rumor will be more profitable in case we are speaking about infantry invasion in the nearest future. |

I would focus on upgrading generals for now. Konev may struggle with the hardest infantry invasions, but upgrading him and Nimitz will make it much easier to win the artillery and naval invasions. You will be able to get by with Konev for most of the infantry invasions, and Rundstedt would also need upgrading to be able to perform markedly better than Konev in those infantry invasions.

Okay thank you for the help. I will focus on upgrading my generals.
But I also had an other question, which countries are the easiest in 1950 conquest?
