1939 Conquest

The year is 1939, the start of the largest and deadliest conflict in human history, World War 2. Except this time, you control the world's destiny. Will you side with the Axis powers or Allied powers? Create The Third Reich? Restore the glorious Roman empire? Or maybe show the world the true might of the Soviet Union? Germany demands world domination, you decide whether they succeed or fall to the might of the Allied powers. Follow the event of WWII and invent your own future in the 1939 Conquest of World Conqueror 4.

**TIPS FOR WINNING**

1. Before starting playing conquest/having a chance to win in it you should play the campaign(doing at least 70% of Europe WW2) and reinforce. To stand a chance you have to have at least 2 good generals(Tito and an upgraded Messe, for example) or 1 great general(Leeb or Vatutin, for example) or at least a Beast General ( Guderian, for example).
2. Never underestimate the power of the aircrafts, especially paratroopers and fighters. If used correctly, they could take down entire countries and strategic cities. By late game, it is possible to win solely with paratroopers and aerial bombardments such as bombers or missiles.
3. Place your general on the strongest units you have, but keep in mind different generals have different strengths and should be assigned accordingly. To simplify strategy, you can also just build whatever unit gives you the most attacking points with the resources you have. For land units, one can win with only tanks. Units such as tanks and artillery that disable the enemy from fighting back are recommended.
4. Don't let your generals die too early. Your generals(especially if you're playing a 3 stars country)are the most important units. In the game there is just ONE way to heal them: with supply depots. If upgraded a bit they might heal very fast.
5. Use the proper unit to defend the proper city. All of your frontline cities, especially if the city health itself is down to zero, should always be occupied to prevent counterattack. Focus your powerful units on the cities that give more income. Unless you are Italy and need to take down Egypt, the Africa should NOT be a priority.

## **Conquest tips:**

### **Allied Powers**

#### **Great Powers**

##### France

First, focus Northern France's forces on Manstein and take him out. Followed by building up your army then smash the German defences. Also, do not invest in Vietnam or Africa campaigns. Second, try to build a lot of submarines to take out Italian and Spanish naval forces. Southern France is to take out any long-range howitzers and then return to their cities. You want to focus on destroying the German forces. Only after you have destroyed German forces send a lot of howitzers and mechanised infantry, heavy tanks if needed, take over Germany followed by Italy then Spain. If you want to get to Japan, Just you use mechanised infantry. Good Luck!

##### Soviet Union

Eliminate Finland as soon as possible, as you push into Europe focus on eliminating as many of the minor axis powers as soon as possible. To play the Soviet Union you need to spam howitzers, while for Germany you don't since the Allied spam of infantry and cruisers will take them down easily. They may take too long to get to the front. Play passive in the first few rounds. Your forces are spread thin and won't be able to invade Germany immediately. Concentrate your forces and build some more, better quality ones in the major cities. When Germany and the Axis start to invade, focus on holding the bigger cities like Minsk, Leningrad, and Moscow. Cede smaller ones if necessary. Take down the German generals before counterattacking when the time is right. Keep spamming tanks and artillery and invade Germany and Italy. Ceding some territory to Japan is okay but maintain a presence in the far east, a few light tanks here or there should suffice. The western front is your priority. So take down the western Axis nations, and then start invading Japanese-occupied China through Manchuria/Manchukuo. ~~Spam Howitzers and ships to secure a path to mainland Japan.~~ Don't even bother with a naval presence in the far east. Mainland Japan can be easily taken with missiles and paratroopers and should be your last priority. Bam. Papa Stalin is happy now. By TheSovietSniper1945. Edited by Katyusha37

##### United Kingdom

Do not focus on Africa, just capture the Italian colonies and hold your territories. In Asia spam howitzers to destroy Japan and Thailand. In Europe, send your forces to France immediately and use your aircraft carriers to bombard German tanks, then capture some French cities and spam tanks and howitzers, then invade Germany.

* This strategy mainly consists of three fronts. Ideally, you want to land troops in Europe quickly. Let the German army take control of Europe and come to the sea (combat abilities of land troops are significantly reduced when they enter the water so just let them come and then take them out). Save up troops with generals. 2 aircraft carriers and a handful of submarines will not be sufficient so build extras when necessary. Focus on holding the line of defence with carriers and submarines until all enemy generals in western Europe are destroyed. When the majority of Axis force is focused on eastern Europe, land your generals in France and start taking cities. US and Canadian forces are hopefully catching up with you at this point and you can push east. For me, it took me about 55 turns to get a solid ground in Europe. While this is happening in Europe, try to take control of Africa. For Africa, make sure that all Italian and Spanish cities are taken or they will continuously harass you. Howitzer is a great option although you should have a sufficient amount of tanks to protect them. Once this is completed, you can turn your attention to Asia. When the battle begins, defeat Thailand asap with howitzer and paratroopers. After Thailand is defeated, just focus on holding the line of defence with tanks and howitzers and build up your army. Hopefully, China will divert Japanese from you. When your troops have landed in Europe, you should have a strong army and can start pushing into Axis territories. Although this is a two-front push, if you have taken Africa, then its cities will provide enough funds to keep your army going. Just make sure that the axis doesn't take their cities in Africa back. If everything goes according to plan, then you will be able to complete the conquest with only one commander and very little tech upgrade at about turn 80-90. This strategy calls for 3 major fronts as well as many other minor clashes and it will be difficult to keep track of them. So just remember this. Defend the mainland with the Royal Navy, take Africa, defend the lands in Asia, start the push when landed in France. Or In 1939 the UK is the easiest country since its on all fronts.First in europe send all your naval units and generals you start with in denmark and kill guderian also send at least one of your good tank generals to france to protect paris i chose manstein.In africa attack mogadishu first since its less defended than addis addaba than just with spare money start the african air campaign.In indochina just spam tier 2 howitzers to obliterate thailand then after you capture bangkok steal hanoi and hongkong after the japanese weaken them then just spam medium tanks and defeat japan with american help.Back in europe after you defend paris or atleast stopped it from falling axis hands just free belgium and netherlands by air and by then the soviets start their counterattack and just take koningsberg but DONT steal warsaw from the soviets cuz then they attack berlin and if they fail they can send reinforcements from warsaw,after you do that just take cologne and then focus on taking milan and barcelona and start sending troops from afrca into sicily and sevilla and from there just strategic bomb your way through madrid,berlin,rome,tokyo,and any other major city,than BOOM S rank.p.s stop lyon from falling in spanish hands if not theyll spam heavy tanks and rocket artillery which would be so annoying.

##### United States

At the beginning of the game, the United States has two initial threats: the Japanese Fleet in the Pacific, and the four German subs (led by Donitz) just south of Britain, which usually come after your Atlantic fleet. The Japanese threat is more severe, for if they manage to wipe out your naval forces and coastal defences, the AI *will* send landing craft to your shore.

Don't attack Japanese fleet immediately, create two fleets (mainly of submarines, at least 6-7 per fleet if you don't have upgraded technologies), one near Midway and the other near the Japanese coastline, then launch a simultaneous attack. Focus on enemy carrier and on ports. You need to take out the Japanese fleet before invading there mainland. Don't stop producing submarines until you win against the enemy fleet.

Use MacArthur to defeat Thailand then try to stop the Japanese advance on the continent and, if you can, retake Peking and Nanking.

Gather some troops in Alaska and take ports around Sapporo to prepare an invasion of Japan. When you finish wiping Japan off the continent and when every Japanese port is under your control, you will be ready to invade the Japanese mainland.

I disagree. Due to the mainland being closer and your technological superiority, once you gain naval dominance you should take Japan itself first. Paratroopers will be very helpful here. - Katyusha37

Generally, creating a few destroyers at the New York port in the first few turns should be enough to wipe out the German subs, where you can then send your fleet to Britain to destroy the German generals who try to land in United Kingdom.

If you can, help your allies to keep Africa. If the Axis takes over Africa they will get a great money boost and you will also need to retake the whole continent.

#### **Regional Powers**

##### Australia

The best approach for Australia is to push North into Japan while constantly giving at least 100s of dollars in Aid to the Soviet Union (if they fall, Germany would become too powerful). Defeat the Japanese and then turn all forces on the Germans. Keep providing money to the USSR until you reach the conflict zone and capture a territory, then invest all money in your war effort.

##### Canada

Pacific Front: First land in the USSR to stop the Japanese advance here. Take control of Changchun and the coastal city directly right of them (If Japan takes Khabarovsk, retake it). Be sure to not leave any Japanese troops in USSR. Use your marines to help the Americans in the attack of the Japanese port. After taking a bridgehead move your units south and destroy the Japanese troops in Shenyang. After that, do not attack Pyongyang, and move directly to Peking. The Japanese will have taken the city recently so it will be easier to retake. At the same time wipe out the Japanese troops who attack Ulan Bator. Your next objective will be to stop the Japanese advance in Chinese territory: attack enemy troops in their rear when they attack Nanking or retake the city if she has already fallen, liberate Shanghai, Hongkong and Wuhan in need, eliminate Thailand, take ports near Shanghai and Hong Kong to take naval superiority, clean Chinese territory of Japanese troops and be ready to defend against German, Italian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Finnish, Hungarian and maybe Spanish attacks (if you weren’t quick enough). You will fight against them on a huge front: from New Delhi to the top of the map. It is why you need to have Japan under control, if you can invade it, to be sure it will not be a danger. To do that you need to take each Japanese port and take control of Pyongyang, Seoul, Taipei and, if you can, Nagasaki. Japan has a strong fleet, not much land and very closely spaced cities, so if you land on their main island the enemy fleet will inflict on you great losses. After that you just need to advance to Moscow, Saratov and finally Stalingrad. From there you should be able to take all of Europe.

Atlantic Front: Do not try to land in Europe, you will be crushed by German commanders. Use your marines to help the USA against Donitz and to delay invasions of United Kingdom. Your main objective is to take and protect ports near Dublin. If you have enough ships you can raid the north of Spain to take its port. You can send your land units in Africa to destroy Spanish and Italian forces on this continent. If you secure Africa at the beginning, you will gain a major asset against Axis. Always remember that your liberation of Europe will come from Asia, so do not attack from Africa until you take Moscow. Don't declare war against any country even for additional income, your enemies are powerful enough, so you don't need to increase their strength. If you want to pass through the territory of a neutral country, you can do it without any consequences.

##### Republic of China

You need to focus on defeating Japan. Use your troops with generals to capture Manchukuo and use your air force and paratroopers to take down Taipei. If Thailand takes Hanoi, retake it from them, and defend it from the Japanese. If Japan takes Shanghai, invade it if they take it again. You can try to get Bangkok from Hanoi. After you take Manchukuo, attack the Japanese occupations except for Korea. You can attack Korea, and try to invade the Japanese from both the north and the south. The Soviets, Australians and the Americans should start occupying the Japanese mainland by now. If the Axis gets to your borders, hold them off as long as you can, and try to use your air force if you can to help defeat them. After the Japanese are defeated, you can focus on the Westerners.

Although it might be comical, you can start spamming bunkers and land forts to prevent the Axis forces from moving forward. This is only recommended if you manage to take over Japan and have a strong economy thanks to the newly occupied Tokyo and Yokohama. After that, fend off the enemy forces to slow them down. You can even attempt to take down Graziani with the heavy tanks you can get from Tokyo. (Patton would be amazing). Fend off and slowly make your progress in recapturing lost land.

India: Always produce the best tank you have available. Hammer Thailand with everything you've got. Paratroopers could be very useful. Once you have taken southeast Asia Japan shouldn't pose any serious threat. Try to move as fast as possible as you will likely be carrying the Asian front against fascist europe once both Japan and USSR falls. By this point you should have unlocked missile technology and a combination of spamming heavy tanks (use their extended range! No need to rush up close) and missile strikes on rocket artillery and heavy tanks should win you the late game.

##### Poland

This may sound counter-intuitive but when the Germans attack just run and claim a single port. Then when the Soviets attack, attack with them and crush their cities. Then split your army into 2 groups. One group will mop up Africa and the second will rush into Asia and crush the Japanese.

Or, 2 alternative strategies:

###### Strategy I

Try to send some of your infantry forward especially in Krakow while the rest of units retreat to Wilno forming a defensive line around the city. This should give you enough time to buy more units in Warsaw and send them up to Wilno. If you are lucky the Soviets will actually do something and might help you, in that case it's good to mainly use artillery to attack from distance.

###### Strategy II

The second strategy is to use the single tank unit in Toruń (Pomerania) and sending it towards the coast, where it captures the dockyard at Königsberg and create a submarine, which later travels to capture the port at Oslo, then in Southern England and Normandy. Make sure you always keep one port, even if you lose all your mainland you can still play if you have a port.

#### **Minor Powers**

##### Belgium

Abandon Brussels immediately and head down to Spain to take Barcelona, you can also go to the Alantic and snatch some ports but in reality Belgium is almost impossible without good generals and tech upgrades, you just have to wait and help the Americans and Canadians and hope that the Japanese AI isn't good.

##### Egypt

If you are playing as Egypt, you need to secure Africa first, which should be very easy. If you want, you can invade the neutral Middle East: Turkey, Oman, Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. You can then access the Axis Balkans from Turkey and then you must move to Germany. Use your forces to take Berlin, Warsaw, Paris, London (If it has fallen), Madrid, Rome, Barcelona, Milan, and Moscow. This should take about $500 in income from the Axis and you can build heavy tanks and rocket artillery in the capital cities which you can use to clear out Europe. on the Asian front, wait for India and the ROC to be defeated and take their territory for a forward base. Then, build some troops to defend and advance a bit and then you should've gotten to level 7 where you can get missiles where you will blow the ass ouve too much left. Japan should have the might of its navy on the West Coast of the US and you will have free naval superiority over the region. Just use missiles and light infantry for the rest of the conquest.

Or:

in 1939, Egypt holds a lot of the power in Africa considering they hold only three territories, one of which isn't in the African mainland. This is largely due to the fact that they hold the only two cities in Africa that are above level 1. They have allies (British) to the immediate south and enemies (Italians) to the immediate west. There are more Italians south of the British. Their other ally in Africa, France, holds many of the cities in Africa, but are not in a powerful position. They will quickly fall to the Italians and Spanish, who are located on the Northwest coast. Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, and Germany will attack by sea assaults once Greece and Yugoslavia have been defeated. Pressure from Spain and Italy in Africa will be heavier after France loses its territory in Europe. For these reasons, it's important to strike quickly and take as much territory as possible before Europe is lost. Africa can be an expensive continent to conquer considering the small reward, so conserve troops whenever possible. A good infantry general on a commando is a very powerful unit, as they do 75% more damage when in the desert.

##### Greece

Winning with Greece maybe consider it an end game challenge when you have max technologies and fully upgraded generals. Send a strong AND mobile general (Rommel would be perfect) in Africa. Taking the few enemies cities in Africa will provide you the production you need to advance in Europe. Take advantage of the offensive of the URSS to launch your own offensive and seize the Balkans. Progress further to the north on Hungary and after on Germany and Finland. Your objective is to stop Axis attack against URSS on the European theatre. After that move to the west to stop Axis attack against United Kingdom. From there, secure the rest of Europe and support your ally in Asia until you can help them.

This guide is mainly inspired by the guide of tristanknight. If you want to see it, you can click on this link. https://european-war-4.boards.net/thread/12227/greece-1939

##### Mongolia

Wait until Japan has exhausted its troops a bit trying to take Peking, then either take Peking back or go for Changchun, Shenyang, and any other cities near that area the Japanese control/have taken. If you need to move troops south to help defend China from Japan because if China and the USSR fall you are screwed. From there you can seize Japan and take back any Chinese cities you have taken and go from there.

##### Netherlands

This is the hardest conquest of 1939 to complete. It is impossible to hold Amsterdam. Instead, use your submarine to steal a port from your allies and maintain control over it, while fleeing either eastward to conquer Helsinki from Finland or fleeing southwest to conquer Barcelona from Spain.

If you choose to take Finland, work with the Soviets to push west and reconquer Europe. Then head south and take Africa. By then, the Soviets will probably have fallen entirely to Japan, which somehow managed to take over mainland USA, India, and Australia too (For some reason Japan is insanely powerful whenever you pick the Netherlands) Push East and take out Japan.

If you instead choose to take Barcelona, conquer the rest of Spain and form a defensive line at the former French-Spanish border. You can slowly push east in both Africa and Europe. It will be a little more difficult than pushing west with the Soviets, however you will have more time to conquer Europe without having to worry about a two front war between Japan and the European Axis (unless Japan somehow conquers all of the USA and Canada before you defeat the European Axis). Whatever you choose, good luck.

##### Norway

If you are playing as Norway, capture Sweden first so you can get easy access to Finland and attack them along with the Soviets. Let the Danes die. It would make your life easier. Kill the German generals that come across the ocean and wait for the UK to die while building up an army in Helsinki and Oslo to block German advances into the Great Motherland. Then, the Soviets will launch a counter-offensive if you are distracting the Germans in the West. Build up an army to cross the Baltic and take Berlin ASAP or Paris or Rome. You should start to push on all fronts until you can get missile technology then you can blitz through enemy territory and then you can win!

##### Yugoslavia

Due to the less-than-desirable predicament the Kingdom of Yugoslavia finds itself in, there is very little chance of victory; even if the player has significant technology upgrades as well as powerful generals. It is generally decided that the best course of action when playing as this country is to immediately divert all resources into capturing Sofia. Afterwards, seek to recapture lost territory before capturing Bucharest, and Vienna. When Warsaw falls, use paratroopers to capture it. Then use the Russian assault to take Berlin.

### **Axis Powers**

#### **Great Powers**

##### German Reich

To play Germany, since it's a small but strong and compact country, you have to spam heavy and medium tanks and take down the enemy generals.

1. This is the easiest 3 star country in 1939. First, attack Poland with Bock (on heavy tank), Greim (on artillery), 2 light tanks, 1 mechanised infantry (in Berlin), and move Paulus (on mechanised infantry) to destroy city Poland on the Polish corridor (move Guderian to attack Copenhagen ), after that, move Model (on medium tank), medium tank (near Prague), and Keitel to destroy Polish light tank. Once that is done, move the medium tank in Hamburg to the land mines near Amsterdam, medium tank near Meyer move through the farm near Amsterdam, and move the medium tank in Cologne to the forest near Amsterdam, and then move Manstein and Meyer (on heavy tank) to eliminate Winkelman (on motorised infantry, in Amsterdam), but the attacking medium tank first not Manstein or Meyer, because there is a probability that Manstein can use his Panzer Leader skill, that will give second attack on Amsterdam. On the South, move Leeb (on howitzer), Student (on mechanised infantry), and mechanised infantry to attack the Yugoslavian city (to ensure you can capture Belgrade and Athens). Note that if the city is not destroyed by Leeb and Student, bomb it (there is an airport in Prague), go to the submarines (in the Atlantic Ocean) and move them to the Dublin port, but first destroy their aircraft carrier. Once you have completed the previous steps you can go conquer any city, but the first city must you conquer is Athens, Paris, and Minsk, because Athens can paradrop troops on on Alexandria (if you acquire the engine upgrades, you can capture Damascus and Jerusalem), Paris has a lvl 3 airport, so you can bomb London, Minsk not so important but this can bomb Moscow (there will likely be a general deployed in Moscow, probably Zhukov in Moscow, Vatutin in baltic, Timoshenko in Leningrad, Vasilevsky in Yekaterinburg). If that city is captured you can go invade any country (head for the Americas last),if you have more money you must spare, attack Japan because just Japan can defeat the Chinese and help Thailand , along with invading Midway, Honolulu, naval base in Los Angeles that can help you easily invade America (if you have a high income, invade America on two fronts).

2. Blitz poland, netherlands and belgium. Note, do not bother fighting the allied navies, they WILL get naval superiority, germany is a land power, not a naval one. Do not waste bombs on london, thats dumb. After taking poland, do your best to defend against the soviets and wait for them to exhaust their forces. Meanwhile, declare war and take switzerland and break the maginot line down a bit, supply spain, italy and japan in whatever they lack. Take the top half of the USSR. Doing this will trigger the AI to send all generals and commanders to fight at the top. I suggest spending most your generals in the eastern front. The only enemy general you should worry about is Zhukov, who will be sitting on a howitzer. By this time, use howitzers to siege denmark and keep a close eye on Helsinki, as it has a high chance of falling. Let italy due with greece and let Italy and Spain get africa. Should helsinki fall, paratroop in. Now that most soviet generals are down and most units are destroyed, take the following cities: riga, leningrad, stalingrad, kursk, kiev and moscow. Capturing all those cities will cause the soviet war machine to collapse, and you will race with japan to capture a majority of russia. Once you have connected with japan, work together to defeat the PRC and take South East Asia. By this time, you should have a good economy, hence focus on factory and institute upgrades. Create some coastal artilleries near “your” ports, capture them, and get tanks and rocket artillery to attack the naval forces. By this point, america WILL attempt to land in either Northern France or Northwestern Spain, use units by the ports to ensure landings cant occur, and try using howitzer generals to attack the naval forces. Meanwhile, use missile technology to eliminate india, land in modern day Oman and Yemen, attack oslo and take sweden if u want. If you wanna have fun, get a few hydrogen bombs, send them on missiles and attack london, manchester and dublin, in respective order(u likely wont have enough bombs, so nuke them inlisted order and land using paratroopers). Take the western sides, sweep up any last naval forces, take out indonesia and phillipines, keep an eye on spain and portugal, cuz the united states and canada will attempt to hold a mini d-day there,eliminate indonesia and phillipines, protect japan and use paratroopers and missiles based in Indonesia to take out Australia. Create a navy whilst taking ports, kicking out britain, france and india from the battle and commence war plan red-orange (of course replace britain with germany) and eliminate america’s navies, land and eliminate USA and Canada.

3. With this strategy, I achieved victory in 42 turns, my only general being Guderian.

For the Battle of the Atlantic, just head the 4 submarines with Karl Dönitz towards Ireland and take the port. Your main goal is to destroy the British Aircraft Carrier with Dudley Pound and to stop the Canadian ships that try to land in Europe. Try to stay away from the British Coastal Artilleries. It is of great importance that, in the first two turns of the game, you try and take, at least temporarily, the port of Oslo with the Destroyer in the Königsberg port. Most of the times this will trigger Mountbatten and lure him in the Baltic Sea. Yeah, there is no need to tell me it's a stupid move to enter the Baltic with an Aircraft Carrier, after all the AI is not that smart...

Thanks to Erich von Manstein, your troops on the Western Front are perfectly capable of attacking France, Belgium and the Netherlands, so you should proceed slowly, without launching any *Fall Gelb*-like strategy. In fact, in 1939 Conquest France is also attacked by Spain, and Italy is far more competent than in real-life WW2. Since Artillery Units die easily if targeted by Stronghold Units, with Wilhelm von Leeb you can just shoot the Bunkers of the Maginot Line from a distance.

In the Southern Front, since Yugoslavia is weak and surrounded, you only need Kurt Student. In order to capture Greece, however, you might need to spawn some Howitzers in Belgrade. After dealing with France, send Manstein to Africa to help Italy and Spain and conquer the whole continent.

The success of Operation Weserübung can be secured by spawning a 3-tier Heavy Tank in Berlin and assigning it to Heinz Guderian, then shooting Copenhagen and paratrooping once the health of the city is 0. You don't actually need to take Norway, you can attack it shortly after dealing with France, with the remaining troops (Leeb, for example).

All the remaining forces will deal with the Eastern front. Try to stay away from the Soviet borders as long as you can and focus on Poland. The Soviet Union will eventually attack you but it is better to wait for them anyway. After taking the last city in North-Eastern Poland, head for Leningrad and take it, then capture the encircled city of Riga. Now, your offensive might need to halt for a while. You may be able to take Minsk with your remaining troops, but you have to wait for the Heavy Tank with Guderian sent to take Denmark if you want to take down Konstantin Rokossovsky and enter Moscow. After the fall of Moscow you can Blitzkrieg through SIberia until you arrive at the border with Mongolia. Then, head south and take Mongolia and China while conquering the remaining part of the Soviet Union and Alaska with Aircraft Units. Then attack Indochina and India, where the troops that conquered Africa have arrived through the Middle East. At this point you should have reached Technology Level 7 and can upgrade the Institute in Berlin to Level 4 and get the Laser Strikes as well as the Missile Silos. At this point winning is super easy. The UK will fall easily as you just need to take London and Manchester, then the other cities will also fall. Ireland and Canada are near enough and with decent tech levels you can paratroop on the Eastern shore of Quebec and launch missiles to Kuujjuaq. Thanks to missiles, Australia can fall in 2 turns and Canada is also very easy to take down. The USA might resist for a while, but alone they can't compete against you. -by 420CykaBlyat69

4. The strategy I used may not work for everyone but it is the easiest for beginners with bad generals. Send Guderian and Bock to Copenhagen and attack. Send Greim in to the Polish corridor and all other units except Paulus (If Bagramyan attacks you can defeat him with Paulus as long as Paulus is in the city). Send Leeb to Switzerland and attack them while sending Student to Yugoslavia and taking the northern city only. Send Manstein and Manteuffel to the Netherlands and attack Amsterdam. Use the submarine fleet to destroy Pound and take the port. Send all southern east troops to attack the southern polish city. Once you take Warsaw Prepare to attack Donetsk, Minsk, Riga, Leningrad, and Kiev. In the west leave Norway alone after taking their port they will be rendered mostly useless for the rest of the war and can be easily invaded once France is defeated. You must take Belgium and defeat De Gaulle, Gamelan, and Leclerc. Make sure to take Paris as it is necessary to protect the landing in Britain. Spam Subs and if you have a navy general put it on a 2 tier cruiser. Wipe out the navies and if you want an easier end game invest in Japan and Italy as the will easily be destroyed if you don’t attack India, China, and Egypt. Send a Tier 3 Heavy tank with your best general on it and send it to England after you defeat their navy. Invade Russia and complete the city taking to destroy the Soviet economy and advance on Moscow to destroy the rest of the Soviets. Begin attacking American and Canadian landing craft and any aircraft carriers left. Once Asia is secured land in Alaska and Los Angeles while simultaneously attacking Northern Canada from Ireland Sweep the US and you are done! (Captain Bonaparte)

##### Kingdom of Italy

Join the Germans in dividing France and try to take as much city as you can as you will need them in Africa, then snatch some cities in Yugoslavia. While in Africa, take out French West Africa and wait for Egypt to exhaust their troops before counter attacking, the British will be a hard nut to crack but after few rounds their colonies in Africa should fall. By this point you should take out Great Britain by spamming subs and troops and in my game, i will join force with the Spanish and blockade USA and Canada with submarines and cruisers. By this point, send all your troops in a 2 prong attack with one side attacking the soviets with artillery and mobile troops and the other side taking out South Asia as Japan should have fallen then, if you have nukes and missiles by now then use them before the AI makes a great crusade sending all their troops up north, South Asia should be easy just use paratroopers and for Japan and China just spam missiles and don't waste your time, midway and hawaii must be taken out and then launch a massive attack on all sides with your navy bombaring the American east coast and capturing New York, Washington DC and Ottawa while your Asian troops take out Alaska and boom there you have it , Italy is one of the easiest countries to win in 1939 conquest !

##### Empire of Japan

In this scenario Japan has some strong generals and a large navy. Japan's main enemies will be China in the early stages, and the USA later on.
As soon as you start, move Yamashita together with some troops to defeat the two Soviet generals north of the Manchuria, and take the Soviet cities. After you have arrived in, Yakutsk send Yamashita with some other troops and conquer Siberia, pushing you towards the west (remember to always remain in the USSR). Consolidate the Japanese navy early to take over Australia and the British controlled parts of Asia. Later on, attack the Hawaiian islands. For Mongolia, although it is not as strong of an enemy, it is defended by mountains, so attacking from Changchun will be a slow process. However, it should not give too many problems, but it is useful to conquer Chita with Yamashita and attack Ulan Bator from there.

At the same time begin, to send artillery and all the troops available in Manchuria to conquer Peking, here it is important to be quick. To avoid China sending many troops you will have to take the main cities: Peking, Shanghai, and Nanking. To take Shanghai, send the general in Taipei to Shanghai and send part of your fleet (I would take them to the Chinese Sea, in this way you can accelerate the conquest). Remember to keep a few ships and at least two generals in the Pacific in order to defend yourself from US attacks. Remember, DO NOT invade North America early in the game because as soon as you take a city, USA and Canada will start spamming troops, making it impossible to continue. After taking Peking and Shanghai send all your troops to Nanking, then start pushing into the interior of China.
After a while, if all goes well, you should have defeated China and conquered a large part of Siberia, if you have more resources from the allies in Europe. As soon as you are done with China, invade Hanoi and take Phnom Penh, in this way you can free Thailand, as it is likely already conquered, Phnom Penh is important because there are level 2 factories there and they will speed up the attack. As you take Bangkok, create a small fleet to destroy the Australian forces and conquer Jakarta, Borneo, Manilla, Port Moresby, and at the end take Australia.

After completing the invasion of Australia, invade India. After conquering it, invade Salah and Sana'a in southern Arabia to be able to go to Africa and close an expensive front for your allies. As soon as you arrived in Yekaterinburg, do not attack Moscow immediately, but conquer the remaining cities and take Stalingrad, Minsk, and Kiev (in case they were not taken). After removing their main sources of income, you can invade Moscow.

At this point, if the Pacific fleet has stopped the Americans, begin to invade Alaska and to take pressure from the troops, also attacks the Midway islands, and from there, take California and Vancouver.

In the meantime, after taking Moscow, take Leningrad and also Helsinki in case it falls. After conquering Sweden or Norway, make it a base to invade the United Kingdom, after which you invade the American and Canadian cities using nukes and missiles, in short, you should be able to defeat the North American forces.

#### **Regional Powers**

##### Thailand

If you are playing as Thailand, the best thing to do is to kill the British commander (on an armoured car in Yangon) using a tank general (Messe is recommended, or a better one if they are available). Next, capture Phnom Penh and the city next to it (under French control) after that is Kondo (in Destroyer will destroy Hanoi so you can capture it in no time so the French is not going to be an issue. Note: Thailand is going to be easy after you do this. Capture the British controlled Indonesia you can also counterattack both China and India, The Americans will be a little bit issue. They have occupied Philippines island, but there will be a tendency that MacArthur is going to be killed by the aircrafts. Although, the American destroyers is going to be annoying. You can then attack Australia and Southeast Asia and wreck India. Then, if you want, you can take out Iran and Iraq for extra income or forward bases to attack French Syria and British controlled Africa. And then you can move your troops to Europe and defeat the UK. Then you can attack the Soviets from China or Mongolia (if you have occupied them) and with the help of Japan. Then you can missile the USA and Canada from Alaska and Europe! soon you will win in the conquest! Yay!

##### Spain

This is the easiest 2 star conquest in 1939. Start by attacking Toulouse in Europe, and for Africa wait till the French troops in Dakar move to attack your small army. Once the french troops are defeated, attack all cities in Africa. During that time in Europe, attack other cities by air like Lyon and others. After that, attack Britain by air (if you captured a city that you can) and if you have missiles, attack without mercy. In Africa, attack Liberia for profit and if you want to, attack South America for income and to get closer to the United States and Canada. If Russia is near you in Europe, try capturing key cities that they captured. (If the Soviets broke through the Germans and are at your gates you're likely lost) If the U.S attacks you and captures one of your city, attack by air. Upgrade all your cities mostly London ( if you captured it ) because if you max the institute in London, you can have a laser strike. Back in America, upgrade your factories and your airports because the U.S is annoying with their heavy tanks. If you reach Asia, attack India before they do. For income, invade Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the others till you reach India. After that, attack Australia and you may need to attack other enemies before you can control all of Australia. If another country has invaded Japan, try to capture Tokyo, ports and other good stuff.

Another strategy for Spain (detailed):

General strategy: Protect Iberian Peninsula from Allies landing troops, take down Europe, strengthen naval power (use lots of submarines to gain naval superiority), attack USA, clear Africa and from Europe marching into Asia and move from Atlantic Ocean front to Pacific Ocean front. Remember to keep eyes on open city to paratroop.

The first and second phase are very important, these phases determine your future outcomes.

First phase:

1. At the beginning, we split the map into 4 fronts: Europe, Africa, Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.
2. Main strategic targets: Attack the French mainland, start taking the colonies in Africa, build few submarine units at Alboran Sea and Bay of Biscay.
3. Europe Front: attack with full force on Toulouse and Marseille, building a few artillery units and destroy Marseille, remember to wreck the enemies artilleries forces at all cost to prevent them from causing significant damages to our forces, attack Bordeaux and advance to Lyon then Paris. To push the speed of army, mechanised infantries (to attack enemies' artilleries and infantries), motorised infantries (to attack enemies' armoured units), artillery pieces to damage the big cities such as Lyon and Paris.
4. Atlantic Ocean front: After a few turns, the American start heading their landing troops and naval fleets toward Portugal, strait of Gibraltar and A Coruna. So you should have at least 4-5 submarines (tier 1 is okay, tier 2 is the good option) to defend the coast and ports at all cost, 1 army unit in A Coruna. After that, the second wave of attack may begin, move your submarines to destroy the fleet by using the surrounding tactic to lower their morale (for the successful counter-offense, you should have at least 7 submarines (tier 2 is recommended)). Besides, build some more submarines (consider the quantity and tier of submarines base on your current situation) at bay of Biscay port and move toward the English Channel, take the all British ports (to prevent enemies spamming) and protect Axis landing troops.
5. Mediterranean Sea Front: take down enemies fleets, secondly take all the naval ports, destroy landing troops and use destroyers or cruisers to support army at coastal cities. Then move few submarines toward Black sea to take Soviet ports. The Egyptian will sent some troops toward Balkan Peninsula, make sure to knock them down when they are still in the water.
6. Africa Front: opt for mobility, use infantries because Africa have lots of cities and not much heavy enemies troops (eg: Amoured and artilleries units) and try to destroy their artilleries. In the first phase, you do not necessarily take down Egypt or clear Africa.

Second phase:

1. Achievements should have to continue second phase: defend successfully two naval waves of attack from American troops, take most of the ports in Mediterranean sea, North sea and Atlantic Oceans, take some cities in Africa, take down most of French mainland' cities, have naval fleet(s) (at least 6 submarines of which 3 tier 2) ready to attack eastern coast of USA, have enough army troops to march to Soviet and South Asia.
2. In this phase, we have 3 fronts: Eastern USA, Europe, Africa.
3. Main strategic targets: Dominant naval power in Ocean, build armoured and artillery units in the Europe, clear Africa, ready to attack Asia.
4. Eastern USA front: Use the pack of submarines to gain New York port. This front appear bunch of American heavy troops, so destroyers is not recommended. USA will harass your fleet with multiple airstrikes and coastal artilleries, so it is a good choice if you have lots of submarines ready for the fight (at least 6 submarines), using tier 2 submarines or tier 3 to make the process faster. After taking the New York port, then you create aircraft carriers or cruisers to harassing back the USA fleet and coastal defense and build at least 6 or 7 submarines heading to Houston port other 3 submarines attack Kuujjuaq (Canada) port.
5. Europe front: from the naval power you got at the English Channel from first phase, it its very easy for you to landing on and paratrooping on England. Taking down the minor cities first then attack major ones (London for example). Move your army toward Soviet, build up armoured tanks and artilleries. and take all cities nearby Germany. The Soviet might spam troops with some armoured units, artilleries, infantries, be sure to strengthen your army before encounter the Soviet defense. Use the enclosing tactic, surrounding enemy with all sides with lower their morale, and you will have advantage. Crushing Soviet defense line might quick or slow depends on your current situation a lot (ex: your allies weak or strong, the Soviet attack on different front, etc.). The Balkans might in danger, if so send some troops (armoured ones and artilleries if there are lots of "heavy duty" enemies troops like spamming artilleries or tanks in there) to take back the Balkans. Always remember keep eyes on open or partially open to paratroop and gain more advantages, destroy the artilleries and low health troops first then attack the stronger ones.
6. Africa front: after taking almost all Africa except Egypt or a few more eastward and southward cities, for the Egypt warfare, build artilleries and few armoured units in order to destroy Cairo quickly. After that, take all the port in Mediterranean sea. You will not have bunches of difficult in Africa compares to Europe. Remember the enemy might paratrooping to your open cities, so build a troop to hold your cities and keep eye on the enemy troops that try to sneak into your cities. After Africa clear, there are some cities in Middle East, it is easy for you to take all cities in this area by air power. Then, move all your naval fleet toward Indian Ocean.

Third phase:

1. Achievements should have to continue third phase: destroy Soviet-Europe front line, gain naval control in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, wipe out Africa and Middle East completely.
2. We have 6 fronts in this phase: Eastern USA, Pacific Ocean, Western USA, Soviet inner land, Central Asia, South Asia.
3. Eastern USA front: After gain control at the east USA and Canada coasts, begin to land your troops on their soil, use heavy tanks, artilleries or rocket units to take cites (ex: Ottawa, Kuujjuaq) quick. After Ottawa, Kuujjuaq has fallen, build up army to attack New York, Florida, etc. From now on, it is very easy to take all other USA or Canada cities. Move your fleet at Houston to the Pacific Ocean.
4. Pacific Ocean front: the Atlantic fleet now moves to Pacific Ocean, at the Panama Canal, split the fleet into two fleets: first one move to Western USA front, other aiming control all Pacific Ocean. The fleet now take all the ports from Honolulu, Midway, Philippines easily. Then move to Australia, east Asia and take naval control over there with bunches of submarines. In case Japanese fall, then take the Japanese ports also.
5. Western USA front: from the fleet which come from Atlantic fleet, use submarines to take Los Angeles ports and start building aircraft carriers or cruisers to harass US west coast cities, and also move up and attack take the Vancouver port and Alaska port.
6. Soviet inner land front: after finish the Soviet tough defense, it is very easy for you to take down Soviet major cities with your current forces, other minor inner land cities are easy to take with air power. You will face very few resistance of Soviet from now on.
7. Central Asia front: Pushing through all the land using the missiles if you have. Else, using air power or your remaining Europe troops.
8. South Asia front: Attack India, New Delhi might be the tough place but not so long, you will attack them with pact of heavy tanks and rocket units. After New Delhi collapsed, it is very easy for you to capture the remaining cities. When you facing Australia, take them down with air power.

Final phase:

1. Achievements should have to continue final phase: finish phase 3.
2. We have 2 fronts: Pacific Ocean and US-Canada.
3. Pacific Ocean front: take the remaining naval ports, in case Japan fell, use your air superiority to take Japan.
4. US-Canada front: take the remaining American and Canadian land with air power (missiles for quick process).

**Strategy 3: Tanks & Cruisers.** The previous two strategies may be overcomplicating things.

Don't bother the neutral countries. Trust Germany and Hungary to push back the Soviets. Trust Italy with Egypt. This is not some kumbaya thing, you're too far to help and if the AIs don't hold the Soviets back you can't turn the tide.

1. Build whatever land unit gives you the most attacking power. Advance into France as fast as possible. If there's a heavily defended city, (likely Marseilles) besiege it by surrounding, but NOT attacking it. The AI is stupid and will eventually pull out their strong unit by sea if you let it escape and defend it with a weaker unit instead. Use this time to pounce. Don't waste your forces on attacking the Maginot Line, stay focused on controlling territory.
2. Let Italy do the heavy lifting in Africa. Take advantage of the sparse defense and high mobility of your infantry units already in Africa to attack whatever city isn't defended. This allows you to wear down and take Africa with minimal investment. DO NOT prioritize Africa
3. Once all French territories on the continent have been taken, mass your forces in northern France. You may need to assist Germany in fending off a British counterattack. There is little serious threat to your territories at this point. Use the time to amass a navy. Try to get at least 6 cruiser units with multiple of the person icon per unit. If you don't have enough money for cruisers, get submarines instead of destroyers due to the possibility of attacking without enemy counterattack. Once your navy controls a path to the British Isles, proceed to step 4.
4. By this point you should have enough money to produce a new tank unit every turn. Use this to sustain your invasion. This never-ending stream of tanks guarded by your cruisers should have no problem taking the British Isles. Remember that land units are much weaker at sea so land as many units as possible and avoid attacking with the tanks still in the ocean. Feel free to go for Norway if it's still unconquered after you take down the British Isles but it's by no means necessary.
5. Double your cruiser fleet. Control a path for your tanks to cross the ocean and land in Newfoundland/Quebec. By this point you should be able to consistently make heavy tank units. Remember that ranged units that can hit without being hit back is the best. Don't proceed with the invasion until you have at least 10 tank units in good health and a constant supply of new units. Remember to land as many units as quickly as possible. You'll face the stiffest resistance of your North American campaign as you attack Ontario and advance into the US, but with your ability to constantly produce heavy tanks in Quebec, this shouldn't be an issue.
6. Send between 4 and 8 cruisers to block off Hudson Bay from any potential counterattack from the north and send the rest down the coast to take the harbors. Just keep deploying heavy tanks as close to the frontlines as you can. The allies are jammed in the Bering Strait, they will be too slow and uncoordinated to stop you once you take Washington DC. (By this time you should have already taken Toronto, Ottawa, and New York) Get your navy across the Panama Canal to the Pacific as soon as you can. This includes your Hudson Bay blockade once Nunavut is secure.
7. By the time you take all of USA and Canada, your allies should have pushed deep into the USSR, past Moscow. There's no major Allied land forces left. If you have the patience, there's nothing wrong with simply using the massive horde of tanks you built up during your push through North America to just overwhelm the remaining enemies. If you don't have the patience, you should be deep enough into the game that you should have unlocked missile capabilities. Simply relentlessly bombard the cities into smithereens and paratroop in. You should send a separate group of 6-ish tank units south to take New Guinea and use it to vastly increase your range to speed things up.

Tanks on land, cruisers to control paths at sea. This general strategy should work well enough to rinse and repeat for other nations as well.

#### **Minor Powers**

##### Bulgaria

You are just starting with a single troop, Boris (the infantry general. Station him in Romania near the nameless city in the north of Yugoslavia (not BeIgrade, Tito will give you hell and annilhilate your one and only general). Then when the Italians, Germans and Romanians (The Hungarians, will go for Kiev or Minsk so you won't have to worry about them to invade it) invade the northern part, move him forward for a bit. And when the city is left open, take it! And build your army towards Belgade. Build a howitzer in Sofia and keep Papagos away (Do not fight the Soviet and Egyptian Ships. And when you got Belgrade, zoom through Greece. Let your allies get through and again, steal Athens. You could also declare war on Turkey and take Istanbul for some more income. Then start building up your army, with units like tanks and howitzers. Send some to Africa but keep building an Army in Europe before invading the USSR with Germany. Bulgaria's geography is too good because: First, it doesn't face the Soviets directly. Second, the Soviets won't attack you at that point (except for the pesky Soviet ship with a General). Third, you won't have to go too far to get to Soviet Union. It will be taking the brunt of the Soviet forces so focus on the south at first, and later try to take as much territory as possible once the Soviet defence collapses. Then breeze to Donetsk and Stalingrad and split your force into 2, going North towards Moscow and South towards Middle East. Again Split the Southern Army into 2, the one going to French Syria, Jerusalem, British Yemen and Oman (you can declare war into Turkey, Iraq and Iran. Not Saudi Arabia! You'll face hell) and the one going to India. Do not let Japan fall or else you will face a full spam! (If you take a major city capable of producing Heavy Tanks, go ahead. Use tanks and artillery for firepower and Mechanised infantry for fast movement and capture) and then invade the US and Canada through Alaska or the UK, if you've taken it down with Germany.

##### Finland

This is the easiest 1 star conquest in 1939. Use your troops that are given to you at the start to take down Leningrad, Riga, etc. Build a howitzer to keep the Norwegians away. You can wait for Germany to take down Copenhagen and land a paratrooper to Copenhagen when it‘s destroyed to get some more income and easy access to Norway. You can wait for the Soviets to destroy Konigsberg or the Germans to destroy Riga to occupy them. You may declare war on Sweden to get more income(and unite Scandinavia). Sweden also provides direct borders to Norway, making the invasion process easier. You can then attack the USSR full-force. Mind that you can also invade The UK from Scotland after occupying Norway. If you manage to take Moscow, you are going to be buffed. And if you take Stalingrad, you can attack Turkey and Iran to get access to India and the Middle East. After you take down Turkey(or at least Ankara), you can attack French Syria, if it’s not occupied by the Italians already. You may declare war to Iraq and Saudi Arabia to gain more income, and access to Africa and British Arabia. After that, occupying the entire world will be a piece of cake! You may attack Mexico, Cuba, Liberia, and South America for extra income. (or to make everyone feel your wrath!) If you decide to invade Mexico or Cuba(or both), you can invade America from the south, and also from the north if you take down Alaska and Canada. Then you can get your hands on some sweet rewards, with an S ranking! TheTacticGamer1109

##### Hungary

Begin with invading Poland and Yugoslavia and taking a few cities. Build some medium tanks and cheaper units like field artillery in the rounds following that to get a decent army. You'll need to be patient because of your low income, but it is worth the wait. Then invade the USSR with Germany. Take a few of its cities so you can have more income and start building more and more units so you can he Soviet defences collapse, take the remaining territories, and deal with any remaining threat in Asia. Then it's going to be fine, with the usual "Invade through Alaska" tactic being an option for invading North America. By TheSovietSniper1945

##### Romania

Take out Yugoslavia IMMEDIATELY and hold the Soviet attack and wait for the Germans to attack, then snatch as much cities as you can and spam artilleries to take out the soviet tanks, you can also steal some cities from France if you are quick. Meanwhile you should send troops south to Africa to take out Egypt before they push Italy and Spanish out. Then with your new income use tanks to sweep through Asia but you must send troops to help the Germans and Spanish with taking out the British and fending off the Americans, while quickly build up a navy with your new ports in Asia to launch an offensive at the Americas while they send their whole army to Europe and there you have it - ChineseComrade1989

##### Thailand

(Easiest with Finland)Now, Thailand is easier than what it may seem.

1.First thing you must focus on taking French Indochina with that crapper that you got, as they will focus defending French mainland and African colonies.Remember very well that you must attack English Burma JUST AFTER having cleared French Indochina to avoid getting sandwitched, otherwise u will fail miserably in 5-6 turns.

1b. While taking French Indochina remember that Wavell on an Armored Car that may give a lot of issues in Early Game, so defend with the income you get and the motorized infantry, DO NOT attack him if he doesn't attack you.

> 2.After taking the French Indochina, i would suggest you taking English Singapore, Malacca Peninsula(basically the Malayan part under Thailand)and building up your army to take down Wavell then counterattacking.If you see that the Chinese are attacking you in Vietnam, you should defend with cheap infantry as they will be busy with the Japanese that will 'help you'
>
>

3.Now that you took down even British Burma u should focus on getting British Malaya to get a noticeable income, while building a defense line with the British Raj.If you have some mediocre generals(Leeb, Messe, Tito, Govorov, Bagramyan and so on, so basically silver and bronze tier generals)it's time to deploy them, and REMEMBER: you should at ANY cost build them on some strong units, like 3 tier Medium Tank or 3 tier Howitzer

4.At this point, Australia should start raiding u with their navy(they have a freaking high amount of ports, darn them), so your goal should be spam submarines to kill their destroyers then taking their ports so they can't spam anymore. This will take A LOT of time as they will resist A LOT with their spam. Bomb their navy if necessary.

5.Now, it's the right time to start invading the British Raj (Basically India), be sure of your army, it must be bigger/stronger than the Indian one.Focus on taking their eastern cities, then Mumbai/Bombay then Delhi as it's the most defended.Attack them with Fighters if necessary, the British Raj will help you A LOT with your expansion project.While for China u must stay on the defensive or take just Hong Kong.

6.At this point you have to be sure to have the naval superiority, as it's time to take Australia.Take the Western Cities then the Eastern ones.If you lose a city because they recapture, your plan for the invasion of Australia it's compromised and probably u have to restart it.

7.After taking down Australia, it's time to attack China.At this point your income should be very high, and you have to aid Japan both in money and in naval superiority, as your ally are dummies you have to take down the American Carriers, then their ports then you must focus on taking down their fleet.

8.Well, now you must start invading Africa. Remember, aiding your allies that are still alive to not be you+Japan VS World.Remember that there are basically no ports in Southern Africa, so you should start from there. 99% that Abyssinia will be conquered by the Brits, so you have to retake it then attack by there everything. You may even spam aerial troops as you will have a high tech level to build airports that allow you to do so.For Northern Africa, just bomb more heavily and even if there is anti-air you should be able to definitely take those cities.

9.From there, you should attack with aerial troops and invade Middle East.Build a strong navy and a strong army to start the invasion of Europe.Probably u will be alone, and if not aid your allies at any cost as they don't lose and capitulate.Start by invading Southern Italy, Southern Spain then get in France with the army and bomb Greece and Yugoslavia and take 'em with Paratroopers.At this point, build an enormous army, and with navy/aerial troops take down UK and make finally the Sun set.

10.Now you should take Berlin, spam factories in Germany then start the 2nd Operation Barbarossa, at this point all of their generals are dead or low hp so worry not.After taking Moscow, Leningrad and Stalingrad clear the rest with paratroopers.

11.Land in Alaska and start spamming factories and airport and make Canada a hell.Now you should basically be able to take the United States just with your army and aerial forces(rely on them a lot, they're really useful in late game!).

12.Take the rest of the ports, and Victory!
