## Game information

### Strength

★

Bulgaria is a Minor Power in Europe. Bulgaria is a member of the Axis Powers and the WTO. During the Second World War, Bulgaria joined the Axis both to reclaim lost lands and to prevent a German Invasion. Eventually Bulgaria fell to the Soviet Union and later, after a communist takeover, allied with it. During the 'Cold War' Bulgaria acted as a buffer between the other WTO members and NATO's Greece and Turkey. Even with Soviet support Bulgaria fell victim to the Aliens.

## Conquest

In 1939, it's best to take over Yugoslavia and/or Greece as this will provide more resources and air cover. If any Romanian cities are unoccupied, you could take it for more resources as Romania has no resistance. Along with Romania, the Middle East is largely neutral so feel free to get more cities (particularly Istanbul and if you are willing to, Ankara). From there, take Ukraine, then the Caucasus. There is a high chance that Egypt will try to stop you as you conquer the Caucasus, so when you get access to the port nearby Crimea, make submarines and destroyers and send an army that will kill Egypt and any other Allied cities in Africa. This army can be also used in invading the Southern United States, though stronger forces are necessary to get to Washington, New York, and California. From the Caucasus, it is best to divide into two armies. One army will attack the rest of Russia. While doing so, take over Allied cities in Europe (Germany has a big chance they will fall), then move on to North America. As much as possible, use Heavy Tanks and Rocket Artillery from Moscow, Berlin, Paris, Rome, and/or London as you sweep across Europe, Canada, and the US. The other army will take over India, then China, then the other Allied cities in Asia (Japan has a big chance they will fall) and the Pacific. Feel free to send Heavy Tanks and Rocket Artillery from Moscow as Australia is notoriously hard to defeat. If the American Campaign isn't over around the time the Pacific is taken over, send some assistance. With regards to Germany and Japan's status during your conquest, these can widely vary from total surrender to just barely holding on, so try to consider this as the Allies will try to overpower the Axis.

In 1943,Germany and Romania will provide temporary cover from Soviet threat, so attack the neutral countries on middle east. Then split up: Group A is going to attack Egypt and take Africa, Group B will attack Iran, then India, then south east Asia and Australia and Group C will defend the country from the Soviets. When group A will finish Africa, go to western Europe, when Group B kills Australia, it will go to China and Mongolia and when Group C will destroy attacking Soviets, attack the Soviet Union. When these objectives are done, Group A will(from Spain/France) attack US, Group B will from Vietnam/Indonesia attack Southern America and Group C will attack Canada. Once they are conquered, you won!

In 1950, Bulgaria is safe from Italy, Germany, and Yugoslavia. First, move south and defeat Greece. Athens have a higher power than Bulgaria but Soviet Union will help though. Move some artillery to try and defeat Turkey. By then, Spain and France will try to invade, so defend against them. The Turkish General is defending Istanbul, but Ankara is actually a stronger city. If you are playing the challenge mode, bring Germany and Italy to your team. Also, if you are in challenge mode, consider turning on Hungary. Hungary has a higher power city, but I think it is much easier to play as Bulgaria.

In 1960, do not do challenge mode. You get out so early. I would say to follow Hungary and Romania. Defeat Greece. Sometimes, Poland gets out really fast, and sometimes they are one of the best countries. So, try and help Poland. Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania are always small, but strong countries.
