## Walkthrough:

The starting positions are shown on the right in the picture.

### Normal mode:

Strategy 1:

For the north, don't rush toward Berlin, just send your medium tank and your north artillery near Guderian's city. Rest beyond Zhukov and Konev while they attack the city and take it. After that, don't follow Zhukov in his suicide operation. Defend against the counterattack of Schorner then move north to help west of Poznan and around Hamburg.

In the south, put your generals there, and take the city directly south of you. Take Munich and lure Kleist out of his city to kill him. Your allies should be able to defeat Bock, but it is necessary to take Nuremberg to increase your income. Don't rush Berlin, finish clearing the map first. When you have taken all the map, prepare the assault on Berlin. Manstein is overpowered, even with the atomic bomb you have (don't forget to use it), he will be difficult to defeat. Just spam rocket artillery until he dies. If it doesn't work, it's because your technology is not good enough or you took to much time to conquer the map.

Strategy 2:

Put Guderian on the Super Tank, Konev on the 3 stack Rocket Artillery (Messe later on a 3 stack Heavy Tank but he is partly necessary to Rumour Manstein since he is OP). Before we put the fronts, standby some of your forces to Guderian's City.

Strategy 3:

If your artillery level is not good enough for this mission. First, you can take Prague then you can make an air bombing on Berlin. I made this level with no general and it is very easy, for the money you should take all of the cities from your allies. Don’t let America take any cities.

#### Southern Front:

So put Guderian and Konev to rush to the Southeastern City (This will be a threat later since it will sneak attack and take your cities). Next, rush to Prague, Guderian's Blitzkrieg will help you take the Tank General in Prague (for extra income). Then Take Brauchitsch (The Super Artillery General) out to take Munich and you can make a nuke here to take Manstein Later. Then you will meet the American forces struggling to take Nuremberg, take it (The General there will be wiped out by Eisenhower). The Southern Front is done.

#### Northern Front:

There, the Southern Front is done.. Your allies probably have taken out Guderian's Army and the Brits have taken Hamburg. So now, assist your allies (The Brits in the Left and the Soviet Allies in the Right) to take Rundstedt's (The Tank General although he isn't.. He is an Infantry General) City, the Northernmost one.

#### The Berlin Assault:

Berlin is encircled and now your allies will spam through. Take Guderian and Konev in the south then take Manstein out (The nuke is used later after they attack). Repeat the Actions until Manstein Dies and Take Berlin and get your 3 Stars YAY! DontMindMePlease

### Hardmode:

In hard mode enemies are just more powerful so the tactic is the same that for normal mode. The only differences are that you no longer have an atomic bomb, Kleist is no longer in Prague (he is between Prague and Nuremberg), Kesselring is in Prague and Munich can now produce Nukes (useless against Manstein). Rundstedt moves after you take Hamburg and wipe out the British so be quick in luring him and the Enemies troops will be able to capture Cologne sometimes so you will also need to recapture it.

### Point needed to be occupied to unlock abilities:

- Take the city south of your starting position in hard mode to unlock the Explosives skill.

## Mission level is based on:

This mission is based on the Battle of Berlin, the last land battle on the European theatre. It lead to the capitulation of Germany.
