# 1939

## Allies

**France (★★★)**

Beginner: France is not recommended if you don't have good technology or generals, but the conquest is doable. Relocate all of your forces from Northern France to Southern France. Use your infantry generals (Tassigny, Petain, Gamelin) and your naval general (Darlan) to attack Barcelona and use your tank generals (Leclerc and Messe if you have him) to attack Milan along with the infantry stationed in Ajaccio. Spawn one howitzer in Lyon and another in Paris. Use your howitzer and De Gaulle to hold Manstein off. As you do this, bomb Tripoli with your cruiser and destroyer in Algiers and send one destroyer to bomb Casablanca. Concentrate all of your forces on Libya, but use Juin and the troops in Dakar to attack Casablanca. Abandon French Indochina and use all of your troops there to help the British attack Bangkok. Reset until you succeed as France is difficult in 1939 and is surrounded by enemies. Do NOT depend on the British, as they will be killed in the sea. Be sure to produce plenty of stackless howitzers with your income in the mainland, as your income will fall drastically without it. If Paris falls or if your generals die, consider resetting.

Veteran: Artillery generals are very valuable in the early game so make sure to buy them. I recommend Konev (with max discount), Leeb, and Zhukov if you are willing to spend IRL money. In this strategy, do the same as the beginner guide in Asia and Africa. Spawn your artillery generals on two stack howitzers. You should have Leeb running around in Southern France holding the enemies off while using Konev to whittle Manstein and Meyer down. Do not abandon the Benelux, as they will attract the firepower of Manstein. Once Manstein falls, keep your distance from the rest of the German tanks and pick them off. The German core is now vulnerable and you are free to attack Hamburg. Should the invasion of Italy go wrong, use Darlan to bomb Rome and Naples. Howitzers are KEY to winning, so leave your tank generals for when you've stabilized the front.

**United Kingdom (★★★)**

Beginner: The UK has great starting troops and is easy for first-timers. Use your Irish fleet to take Donitz out, then swing West and bombard Spanish cities. Bomb German infantry and artillery (focus on Kesselring and Leeb) with Mountbatten's fleet, while sending destroyers east to occupy the port of Konigsberg. Be sure to capture cities like Bruxelles, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam when they have no health, because you'll either delay the German advance into France or keep the city which is the best scenario. Once the Germans thin out, land Montgomery, Slim, Dill, Wingate, and any other troops you have in Northern France. If you have occupied any of the Benelux, what follows will be a breeze and Germany will fall. In your colonies, ignore Libya and focus on Ethiopia. Be sure to produce Armored Cars or Light Tanks to help the infantry because Cavallero will overwhelm your infantry. In Asia, do the same as France and sacrifice Yangon. Take Bangkok at all costs. Once Germany falls, spam units in Bangkok, kill Japan, and win.

Veteran: Do the same as the beginner. Do not hesitate to put Rommel on a light tank in Sudan, because his mobility will help and will ultimately help you capture both Ethiopia and Egypt. If you have an infantry general, spawn him in Yangon and use him to speed up the advance towards Bangkok. Use the rest of your land generals on heavy tanks/artillery in the mainland. I advise spawning a cruiser general in the Yangon port to help you attack Bangkok and Japan.
