So I have read in a few polls that Rowland was a very good choice. I believe that he was both recommended in Suvorov’s and Erich von Manstein’s all general reviews. However, we should always think deeply before we spend our precious medals on any general, and even more so on a general who isn’t a trainer.
Pros:
-He has good stars, 4 stars in inf.
-He has leadership, not afraid of encirclement or cavalry
-He is in the first tier, and I believe he costs somewhere around 500 medals...
-If you give him the snare drum, he will be a Lannes lite, just without assualt art or his geography
— If you do decide to give him a snare drum, he will have good hybrid potential as both skills will apply on any unit.
Cons:
- His price, 500+ medals makes him one of the most expensive tier one generals
- Zakrevsky is very cheap to use, is a trainer, and has mass fire (cheap at 465 medals)
So overall, what are your guys’ general opinion on him. In my opinion, he can be quite good but needs some investment. At maximum potential, he can be a Lannes lite. What do you guys think? Recommended or not?

I dont think hes worth getting as dumouriez or golitsyn is good starting generals. |

I don’t necessary mean as a starting general. Take Berthier for example. You invest enough medals into him and he becomes overpowered. Does the same apply to this guy. It is worth mentioning that he and Lan are the only non iap generals with leadership I have seen so far. The question is “Can he be good?”
But thank you for the feedback though. It is very useful to hear from
other people that there are better options at the beginning to start with

Thats interesting. We all know he is good with the snare drum but will you be willing to sacrifice one for him is another important thing to consider |

I just think its better for cavalry. |
