Mobility (+0.05 per star)
Generals (Points when first bought / points when fully upgraded)

*Manstein (3.02 / 6.1): The best IAP general and one star faster than Guderian, with the same
possible skillset.

Guderian (2.41 / 5.85): No surprise here. Best f2p general in the game, but just a tad worse than
Manstein on all fronts either due to mobility or a bio.

*Tolbukhin (2.84 / 5.85): Mediocre survivability (no rumor or blitzkrieg), but very good damage,
and can play a support role if you can use his tank cluster well.

4(5) mobility 0.2 0.25
Armoured army group 3 0.6 1
Inspiration 1 0.2 1
Plain fighting 2 0.24 0.6
Rommel (1.71 / 5.25): Not the best set of starter skills (crossfire and desert fighting) but dirt
cheap and easy to develop. One of the only generals who can get the three best skills (although
blitz and rumor are interchangeable). Also has a bio boost to boot.

Crossfire 1 0.12 0.6
+2 free slots 0 2
Bio 0 0.3
*Abrams (3.46 / 5.05): Has a pretty mediocre pseudo-rumor skill, but anticipation can sometimes
exceed armoured assault even with a medal, which makes him a … mini Guderian.

4(5) mobility 0.2 0.25
Break the encirclement 3 0.08 0.2
Anticipation 5 1 1
Blitzkrieg 3 0.18 0.6
*Wittmann (3.63 / 5): A good IAP general with what’s essentially a replacement for plain fighting
in ace tank, but also tide of iron. Less mobility than Manstein but can do similar damage against
some tanky units.
6 tank stars 1 1
3(4) mobility 0.15 0.2
Ace tank 5 1 1
Blitz 3 0.36 0.6
Tide of iron 3 0.12 0.2
Bastico (2.06 / 4.6): Despite being a silver general, he can have four of the best skills, making
him a better intermediate tank than List.

Retaliation 3 0.36 0.6
+1 free slot 0 0.8
These generals won’t be making your roster until you finish scenario:
Montgomery (1.19 / 4.5): Starts off worse than Messe and takes a lot of medals to develop. Not
recommended until late game but he might be able to fill a t44 role with his bio.

3(4) mobility 0.15 0.2
Elastic defense 1 0 0
+2 free slots 0 2
Bio 0 0.1
List (1.72 / 4.4): Initially equivalent to Rommel, at the cost of 3 less tank stars and being more
expensive. Can have the 4 best tank skills in the end, but is pretty redundant if you already have
Guderian or Manstein, and also way more expensive than Roko and Monty with only a slight
advantage.

3(4) mobility 0.15 0.2
Explosives 3 0.36 0.6
Blitz 3 0.36 0.6
+1 free slot 0 1
Rokossovsky (1.64 / 4.4): A much cheaper option than List with slightly less damage against
forts.

Tide of iron 1 0.04 0.2
Shelter 2 0 0
+2 free slots 0 2
No one below here is really worth it, but if you’re almost at 30 slots then consider them.
*Katukov (1.03 / 4.05): Has good healing, but somehow even more grindy to upgrade than
Monty. And he costs money.
4(5) tank stars 0.6 0.8

3(5) mobility 0.15 0.25
Armoured tactic expert 2 0.16 0.4
Blitz 1 0.12 0.6
Camo 2 (free slot) 0 1
Elastic defense 1 (free slot) 0 1
*Arnim “wc3 Rommel” (2.07 / 4.0): If you don’t like List’s jack-of-all-trades master of none role,
then you won’t like someone who’s worse than him.

3(4) mobility 0.15 0.2
Blitz 3 0.36 0.6
+1 free slot 0 1
Leslie (1.5 / 3.95): Fortifications makes him a nice defensive general with mediocre damage.
Maybe rumor or crossfire is the way to go?

2(3) mobility 0.1 0.15
Fortification 2 0.32 0.8
1 free slot 0 1
Graziani (1.09 / 3.95): Decent survivability but mediocre damage, and takes a lot of medals to
develop. Machinist is pretty good in events, but in most other cases you have better options.

1(3) mobility 0.05 0.15
Machinist 3 0.12 0.2
Ace forces 1 0.04 0.2
Mountain fighting 1 0.08 0.4
+2 free slots 0 2
Pavlov “wc3 Patton” (1.62 / 3.75): City fighting + crossfire might suit a defensive niche, if you
really need one. Plus you get him for free. A much better rental than Vatutin or Messe.

*Zhukov (2.11 / 5.65): Used to be worse than Konev and Leeb, but high mobility plus the
potential for 5 artillery skills puts him at the top.

Bio 0 0.2
*Kluge (3.79 / 5.2): Anti-defense puts him better than Zhukov on units like forts and elite units.
Worse against spam, and since he doesn’t have rumor he won’t play as much of a support role.
3(4) mobility 0.15 0.2
Artillery tactic expert 5 1 1
Hold fast 1 0.08 0.4
Accuracy 3 0.6 1
Konev (1.55 / 4.6): Probably the best discount general and almost as good as Guderian. Has all
the important artillery skills and can do over 300 damage to fortresses even without explosives.
His one weakness is raider (as a partial infantry hybrid), which means you can only choose one
out of explosives, plain fighting, and crowd tactics.
3(4) mobility 0.15 0.2
Raider 1 0 0
Accuracy 1 0.2 1

*Yeryomenko (2.19 / 4.6): Has the two essential artillery skills plus three other decent ones.
Plays a very good Zhang role.

Hold fast 2 0.16 0.4
Inspiration 2 0.24 0.6
Accuracy 1 0.2 1
Leeb (1.33 / 4.45): Basically a Konev without raider. Starts out pretty bad, but can achieve a
similar skillset and quality. Sacrifices 6 damage for 1 extra mobility.
5 artillery stars 0.8 0.8

1(5) mobility 0.05 0.25
Rumor 1 0.16 0.8
+1 free slot 0 1
These generals won’t be making your roster until you finish scenario:
*Williams (2.84 / 4.3): Having a repeating attack skill sounds great on paper, but Williams
unfortunately doesn’t have enough damage to really make use of it. Machinist is dubious and
artillery armor is an ef-only niche. Not worth it in scenario but probably plays a decent cleanup
role elsewhere.
5(6) artillery stars 0.8 1

2(4) mobility 0.1 0.2
Self-propelled artillery 5 1 1
Artillery armor 5 0.4 0.4
Accuracy 2 0.4 1
*Eichelberger (2.34 / 4.05): Middling damage on his own, but a fine support if you’d like one of
your generals to attack twice. Fire suppression is pretty clunky to use though, requiring two of
your artillery generals to be on the frontlines.*Yeryomenko (2.11 / 4.6): Stronghold is a pretty
bad skill, but other than that he's a way better Zhang.

4(5) mobility 0.2 0.25
Attack guidance 3 0.48 0.8
Amphibious warfare 1 0.02 0.1
Accuracy 2 0.4 1
*Sokolovsky (2.7 / 4.4): Essentially Yamamoto but with more artillery and way less air
capabilities.
3(4) mobility 0.3 0.4
Nuclear warfare expert 5 0 0
Strategic attack 3 0.36 0.6
Accuracy 2 0.4 1
Artillery armor 3 0.24 0.4
Nenonen (2.08 / 4): Much better early game general than Leeb, but falls off a bit later on
because of artillery barrage. Still a good third artillery that sees usage in endgame, having both
necessary skills and a slot for plains or inspiring.

4 mobility 0.2 0.2
Artillery barrage 2 0.08 0.2
Accuracy 3 0.6 1
+1 free slot 0 0.8
Zhang Z.Z (1.55 / 3.8): Trades some of Nenonen’s active damage for crossfire, so if you need a
f2p damage-soaker then this is a possible choice.
5 artillery stars 0.8 0.8

3(4) mobility 0.15 0.2
+1 free slot 0 1
Brauchitsch (1.74 / 3.75): Sorely lacking in damage and stars early on, but has inspiring if you’re
someone who really wants it.

Mountain fighting 2 0.08 0.2
Inspiring 3 0.36 0.6
+1 free slot 0 1
Yamamoto (0.82 / 3.35): Has explosives + two artillery slots, making him a pretty good
air-artillery hybrid should you choose to make one.

*Marshall (2.74 / 5.4): No explosives really hurts his fort damage, but infantry group lets your
other gens attack twice per turn, and he has pretty good survivability for an inf general.

Yamashita (1.65 / 4.85): Unfortunately even the best f2p infantry general in the game still has 2

fortress-killer in warzone and frontier.

Higuchi (2.16 / 4.45): Has the necessary skills and can act as a suicide bomber with a better

*Simo Hayha (3.15 / 4.4): Has 2 range and guerilla for decent survivability, but unless you’re
using him on a high-level hawkeye he just isn’t gonna do enough damage to compete with the
best. On a level 6+ hawkeye, he does more damage than just about any general in the game.

MacArthur (1.42 / 4.3): Trades 1 inf star for a mobility star. Can also have all three S-tier skills,

Donitz (2.36 / 4.65): The undisputed best navy general. Does great damage on everything,
especially forts, and can rumor pesky land units to help your other generals out.

Yamaguchi (1.67 / 4.6): An OP skill in naval assault which is unfortunately canceled out by two
lackluster skills. This ends up making him pretty similar to Raeder, but with a bit more
survivability for pesky Pacific War missions, at the cost of only picking one of explosives, rumor,
and sailor.

Darlan (3.07 / 4.45): Leadership is a pretty good wolfpack replacement and he has fleet leader,
which compensates for the lack of a second slot that gold navies have.

him an offense build.

*Eisenhower (1.91 / 4.25): Was the worst IAP by far but having an extra range helps a bit. Now

Nimitz (1.64 / 4.1): Not quite good enough to occupy an endgame slot even with his discount.
Might end up sitting in the back end of your roster, and air stars are useful if you really don’t
have any other options.
6 navy stars 1 1
2(4) mobility 0.1 0.2

Explosives 1 0.2 1
+1 free slot 0 0.8
Mikawa (2.15 / 4.05): Night raid is pretty useless against everything but efs because of how
tanky navy units are anyway, but if you’re tired of taking 100+ retaliation damage from an
akagi/enterprise then go for it.

difference in most cases (exceptions are efs of course)
+0.2: Industry leader
Air stars (0.15*4 + 0.2*2); mobility (0.1)

Generals
Chennault (3.03 / 5): Inspection finally gives us the long-awaited air rumor (which was only
partially satisfied with the stuka). Huge support capabilities, and with an econ expert on the side.

*Coulson (3.8 / 4.45): Has the best air damage relative to cost, essentially doubling air damage,
so if you want more pure damage and less city-cracking ability then he’s your man.

Explosives 2 0 0

Air raid cover 5 1 1
Cover 2 0 0
Rumor 2 0.08 0.2
*Spruance (2.93 / 4.4): Efficient bombardment only works on a carrier, making it not useful
unless you’re on an ef. He does have the other three good air skills, but why buy him when you
get Chennault for free?
4(5) air stars 0.6 0.8

3(4) mobility stars 0.15 0.2
Efficient bombardment 5 0.6 0.6
Inspection 3 0.48 0.8
*McCampbell (3.32 / 4.05): Ace pilot isn’t as good as the other air skills, but since he does have
both carpet bombing and airforce leader he’s an … alright pure damage dealer.

Rumor 4 0.16 0.2
+1 free slot 0 0.6
Yamamoto (1.55 / 4.35): Arnold but with one less mobility, more artillery capabilities, and a
higher cost (although giving him two econ skills for the extra 1.2 points is a waste so I’m keeping
him below Arnold)
6 air stars 1 1
Explosives 1 0 0
+2 free slots 0 1.2
Eisenhower (1.5 / 4.1)

Dowding (1.37 / 3.75): Arnold but no rumor and less mobility. You can go extra-econ by giving
him tech expert, or go damage by giving him carpet bombing.

Explosives 3 0 0
Econ expert 1 0.12 0.6
+1 free slot 0 1
Yamaguchi
Halsey: An extremely niche Akagi/Enterprise general.
Nimitz, Kesselring
*Sokolovsky (1.86 / 2.6): You wouldn’t want him sitting in a city, but occasionally if you want to
toss a nuke he’s the guy to do it.
