#### With generals:

When the level starts, we will be at the sea south of Southern France. We have a criuser and an army. Land our army in the 2nd round while using the criuser to block the destroyer and submarine which will bother us landing while detroying the coastal artillery. When our and Auchinlek's army landed, clear the group in the west which will bother Patton from landing in the 4th round. After Patton landed, attack Marseille together with Patton and Auchinlek. Model will be easily destroyed. However, when he is killed, Manstein and his tank group with come to Marseille. Destroy his tank group before he comes. And when he comes we just have to build an army circle with our army and a bunker around hik. He will be surrounded and his morale with drop twice. We will attack him with Auchinlek and Patton. When he is killed, Dowding will command us to attack the city south of Lyon, commanded by Bock, and he will start to land from North Africa to France, but he will be useless because its too late. At the same time, the French group in the west should have captured Toulhouse and will attack with us together. When Bock is defeated and that city is captured, all groups with attack Lyon and we follow them. At last, when Lyon is captured, launch air force to the city in the east and capture it with a paratrooper.
