The King and the General: Can't win it!

I have tried this single mission over and over but can't seem to beat it. Wondering if anyone has beat it and if so what was your strategy? I have won the other single missions but this one seems unbelievably difficult.

I won but it was a bronze victory on the last turn with 2 units left. I played on normal difficulty. It is certainly a tough scenario. I just finished the full game and will try the scenario 1 more time......

Let me know how you won on the second try! I must be using the wrong combination of units.

Ok finally won it!

Now I'm stuck on Freibergs destiny. In the campaign.
That is a tough one with a 25 turn limit that almost feels impossible. Kill king
victor and then take Freiberg. Don't have enough units to do it

I posted my Final few save games here for Frieberg's Destiny.

That was a tough one. What I find I need to do In the King and General and Frieberg's Destiny is to advance until I meet the enemy and then form up and let them attack. First Row Melee Units, 2nd Row missle units. They usually bang themselves against the wall of units and during my attack phase I pick off the weakened units.

Not Enough Units: Do you have enough gold to buy additional units during the game? You can purchase new units and deploy mid-game if need be. I had to do that once or twice. OR don't let your units dwindle down. Get to a city and buy recruits more often.

Time: The majority of my victories for all 3 campaigns are bronze with a few silver and 1 gold. If you are running out of time try not going for the secondary objectives such as towns that are not required goals.

I am sure this isn't new stuff to anyone but there it is anyway.
