So, the most difficult mission in EW6 is Battle of Balaclava I suppose. I assume I won't be able to complete it any time soon  Any ideas how to receive 3 stars for this mission?  Probably the good idea is to complete everything else including Siege before this one. Then to collect enough medals to dismiss our best cavalry generals without serious consequences for conquests . Then to complete it with 3 stars and immediately hire Murat and Co. again. It looks like a great plan... well, in paper You, at least, can try a trio: Alex-Bonaparte-Mahmud. |

It looks like a great plan... well, in paper If you are able to complete it in the first place (I spent a lot of medals to rank up Karl, Massena and Murat and now I can't pass it with even 1 star lol ... by turn 16 I manage to clear the center and get 1 of the 3 buildings) |

If we could only use more infantry units... Unfortunately only 3 are available. So we are bound to put Inf. Generals on Cavalry. So we need generals with high battle ability and good skills. Lee is one possible option but he is only a Duke. Garibaldi and Bismarck are other options...

Wait we should think about getting those items that give +battle ability if that helps...

Lee is a Duke but his battle ability is more significant than that of some Emperors. Some princesses can be of use though... |

odm, stoic, this mission is not easy even with cavalry, true. I was shocked how difficult it was for my best cavalrymen fully upgraded (skills & titles). So I am afraid to think what is necessary besides ranks... Maybe stoic is right - artillery could be the key. Forts are doing horrible damage, especially to the allies. I was trying to send my Arty to help and aura gens to support the allies. But artillery is anyway will be behind the allies lines. So the allies are doomed anyway...

Some princesses can be of use though... Princesses are trash. All of them. Except Lan and maybe Sophia. Their battle abity is too low. Around 60+ at Emperor. |

Yet, it is not so gloomy after all 3 Infantry commanders and 4 good Artillery generals are a good backbone of our improvised team... |

Need to decide what is the first so not to rebuild the team too much |
