AI isn't reliable at all. They usually mess up and get defeated. You will probably have to prop them up. In my current PRC game USSR and Poland are getting massacred around turn 30 by NATO forces. You usually have to bail allies out. Does that mean giving money to AI or sending your forces over toward the ai? As Finland 1939 my game was ruined when Japan collapsed despite me giving them money, by turn 40-50 they were only in Siberia and not even that they could hold... Bradley and America's endless double formation tanks overcame my 380 income a turn and pushed me all the way back |

Thanks I am only 450ish medals away from getting Guderian however, when I try to close the gap by completing conquest I find that say in Spain 1939, Montgomery and the other british gens decide that they want to attack me, any help on dealing with AI targeting me? Are there any conquests where this does not happen? Is it possible to prevent the total collapse of your allies? As Spain, you have a harbor not far from the UK, so I recommend that you send submarines from there while also working to conquer France and Africa. Africa is fine, and I never heared a thing about submarines, I will try it out if my ROC 1939 campaign falls apart The problem is that while Maurice Gamelin and Phillipe Leclerc are not problems by themselves, combined with Francois Darlan's Cruiser and Jean de luc Tassingny heading for me despite lyon being closer to Germany and Italy. I had one run where I managed to break through but Montgomery came along to add another heavy tank while Italians died crossing to Egypt for some reason and Germans get caught up on Belgium and Netherlands with only Manstein getting through. Am I doing something wrong? It is also annoying when France builds formation 4 assault infantry in Africa with Paris under attack? It feels like the enemy AI has all of it's combined alliance income shared or something... |

The French generals aren’t that dangerous. The one you should watch out for is Leclerc.
What units are you issuing to invade France?

They can’t hold up against everyone, so it’s good if you send your forces to help them if they are in the proximity. |

Trained some infantry at Barcelona/Toulouse So you are using Infantry to stall them and some tanks with generals in them? |

The infantry stall thing was for Germany and Italy to eventually come around I was supposed to get tanks? What type? where? quantity of formation? General quality? Generals are Vatutin and Meese |

You should produce a Medium Tank with Vatutin In it. Try double-stacking or triple-stacking it. You can produce Medium Tanks from Madrid.

You usually have to bail allies out. And if you play as NATO, China takes a century to be taken out, let alone USSR. The unit spam can really be a problem from 1943 on. Doesn't seem like it happens on 1939 |

my take on guderian with explosives: Since he is on a tank and can attack multiple times: Imagine this scenario with a enemy city guarded by bunkers and infantry. Guderian can easily one shot a bunker with a critical hit and at least some rank. So just use him to destroy infantry, get morale/rank up, and with explosives one tap forts. Lastly, supercharged guderian will land a killer blow on the city. No matter the terrain, guderian can always clear up a spam and make it bunker/land fort free so that yamashita in infantry and konev in artillery can go in, and combined with guderian they can easily take a capital city in one move. Imo, then probably gearing up guderian with pf and explosives would be best. Imagine how much damage he’ll do to cities then Leave the max damage role to Manstein. Guderian is only better than him because he can also have Rumor and a skill that is potentially more useful than Plain Fighting. |
