How to win Sardinia 1806.
Overall goal: kill as much French/Spanish as they pass by and hold the island till around turn 30.
Time to commit: 30 mins. It goals very fast because most of the turns it is just 4 units.
Turn 1 :
* Delay Poland, Egypt, and Saxony each other turn
* move ship under Corsica so that all French units have to move to the sea next to the coastal fort. You can put Falsen on it - this ship is going to die and it is ok. If you have a stronger navy you can put it however if you have a stronger navy you probably wasting mo.
* buy light artillery (put your best art commander, i used mahmud). If you follow standard convention and dont buy medals/no iap you should probably go for mahmud + alexander+jordan setup.
Turn 2:
* french will move their unit next to the coastal fort . Buy another light artilley deploy your second art commander (alexander/jordan etc). With your current art one set position right below the ship so that you can attack Corsica if needed and use it to kill french infantry in the water (art + emmanuel 4 from the coastal fort).
Turn 3-30:
* maintain either 4 light artillery or 3 light + grenadier to keep your income at 100% (24/25).
* british will hang out and help you.
* do not go for capture of the corsica - it is better for you to keep mass destoying the spanish/french spam so that morocco and napes will be good (italy usually down to just milan)
* do not donate resources unless it is obvious you wont need them. I ended buying few light arts to refresh my units to keep damage at max ( disband+buy fresh)
By turn 30 it will be clear it is a coallition victory and its when you can start leaving the island.
Here is an example of what happened while you are holding the island
Turn 15: Poland is a first to go. Bye bye.
Turn 19: Saxony destroyed
Turn 24: Rhine is no more
Turn 27: Holland/Amsterdam is a thing of the past
Turn 29: Last Italian city of Milan finally captured and with that Italy is out
Turn 31 - end
* Aim to capture corsica, palma and marseille (should be unprotected at that point). I wouldn't recommend going west much past that as usually allies will destroy french, spain without your help.
* Aim to help destroy Turkey and Egypt (allies certainly need help here).
Here is an example of the victory at turn 63.
I prefer to use this method to farm coalition (for buying all medals). If anyone has a faster method in terms of commitment time (amount of work/speed of turns) I would love to know that.
It does not beat 50 turn medal farm for Amsterdam thought, however still the easiest/fastest coalition farm.
Thank you, but I only have the 3 generals you get from the Independence campaign, is that OK?
