I did it guys! I finally did it, after 10+ tries. I eventually gave up on the orthodox method since my tech wasn't maxed out and I didn't have Rommel. I sent Guderian alone to deal with the two generals attacking the nuke-producing city, and sent Konev, Vatutin, Nimitz, and Messe to the west. After dealing with those guys, I built two nukes, dealt with the cities in the east, and lured the general in the northwest out. Then I nuked and captured that city, and used my generals (all still alive) to steal Baghdad. I finished it one turn before the limit. Unfortunately that means I'll have to return to this mission at some time, but at this point I don't even care. Next few missions should be a breeze.  I'm probably gonna uninstall the game for the third time in two years when I get to South American Offensive If I get to South American Offensive |

So I went back yesterday and got two stars. There are two factors which greatly influence how easy or hard the mission will be:
1. If a terrorist general captures and sits in Baghdad, you're slightly screwed
2. If Yudintsev captures and sits in the Turkish city, you're big screwed
Edit: Not big screwed, but also slightly screwed

Actually, in yesterday's playthrough, a self-propelled Howitzer captured the city, so Yudintsev just sat outside it. I guess it doesn't matter too much, since he eventually joins the other generals at Baghdad. |

If it's 2, spamming armoured cars may work, but 3 is too much for the poor fellas. |

So essentially you have to count on a non-general sitting in Baghdad, and then taking it last so you won't lose it later on. |

Him coming out fo the city to join the bad bois at Baghdad is not necessarily a good thing lol. You have to let him take your level one non-objective cities in order to beat this level. |

I quit because... you can see why If a terrorist general holds Baghdad, just start over. You're not getting past him. The only way you can capture Baghdad without 3 super op generals is by parasniping it, which isn't happening with a 1200 hp general inside. |
