Will you make Japan assert its supremacy over the pacific? or will you make the sunset on the Japanese empire? The choice is yours. Follow the events of the Pacific theatre and invent your own future through the 1943 Conquest in World Conqueror 4. **Please note that this page is for advisory purposes only.

1943 is the second conquest available. It is unlocked after beating all the Second World War: European Theatre Scenarios.

## **Allied Powers**

### **Great Powers**

#### Soviet Union

In the early stage of conquest 1943, The German Reich is at the throat of the Soviets, with strike groups poised at striking Stalingrad and Moscow. This cannot happen. Build reinforcements to quell the German attack whilst using the strike group in the valley in between Moscow and Stalingrad to take Minsk as soon as possible. Failure to take Minsk in time prompts the German Reich to deploy a heavy tank unit with Manstein at the helm---a worst-case scenario---in order to capture Moscow and other towns. The war with Japan in the east is one that pales in significance to the western situation. Plan only for defence until the western front stabilizes.

or

This is the easiest 3-star 1943 conquest. For winning the 1943 conquest, hold Leningrad with 3 stack Medium Tanks and Broadcast Tower, the Heavy Tank stays inside it till it's down to half HP the Rocket Artillery stays on the map corner of Leningrad to provide fire support, for Moscow hold it there and move Vasilevsky till he crosses the river, then move all your units to Smolensk and deploy a 3 stack or 1 stack Tank (if it's 1 stack don't deploy any Generals) for the south, move all the troops to Kiev and hold Stalingrad and when you killed Model and Bock push your units to Iași (You should have captured Kiev at this point), and then push Bucharest and Budapest, the Far East is a little easier since the US will be obliterating the Japanese forces with some help from Canada and Mexico, also the Mongolians will support you attacking Manchuria, help the Mongolians and get to Peking, then capture all of Korea and, if you can, the Japanese mainland (this would be easier since the Americans are probably pounding Tokyo and several cities into ash).For the start, just let Yamashita come into your Far East cities and start moving your Tank in Chita and all your Motorized Infantry in Siberia into Manchuria, others will come but they are Infantry and thus very easy to kill with Medium Tanks (a general can make it more easier), just don't lose Vladivostok, move your Tank to block the hex in front of Novikov and build a Bunker to hold it.

#### United Kingdom

As the UK, you don't have that high amount of Income. Only owning Burma, The UK, and losing some land to Egypt, You have a weak position in Africa and Asia, In Mainland UK, the Germans in Cologne will continue bombing Dowding and Portal with missiles, and you should make them leave the Cities and instead bombard the German Battleship that will bombard London. Move your 3 medium tanks to the coastline and the Fleet with the Carrier in Ireland should Head to the bay of Biscay. By doing so you will lead the Spanish heavy tank with Franco on it into a trap. Send a Battleship to the English channel +the destroyer and battleship already there to take out that submarine and take the port in Normandy. move Wingate to England. Dönitz and his wolfpack will Attack your Carrier fleet near Scotland, and it is important you put an air force general on the Carrier and a Navy general on the Battleship with it. spam Destroyers in order to kill these subs, then send your Carrier to hit Norway and Amsterdam. By now, the Soviets are dying since Bulgaria and Romania are assisting the Germans. Prepare your troops for a D-Day by turn 12, once you've taken the German ports and destroyed their navy. In Africa, prioritize destroying Manteuffel and his division in order to take Dakar. Free France will hold of Rommel while you take Algeria. It is hard to hold East Africa because Italy has a Heavy tank with Cavalero there. Egypt will assist you in taking Addis Ababa. You should take Mogadishu first as then you can fully focus on taking Addis Ababa. Once you have taken Addis Ababa, immediately send your troops to West Africa to assist France. Move Cunningham to the Eastern Mediterranean to bomb Riccardi and prevent him from bombarding Cairo. Spam subs to keep your dockyard in Libya controlled. Once Riccardi is destroyed, and Egypt is really trying to take Athens, use your Carrier with Cunningham to bombard Athens. Kuznetsov on the Cruiser in the Black sea will assist you. In Asia, it's simple; Just build a bunker near Mandalay and hold until the Indians come. Then, destroy the Siamese bunker and attack Bangkok. Once you take it, and IF the Japanese take back Hanoi, take southeast Asia with the help of Australia, then send your forces over and take whatever cities are occupied by Japan. At that point the USA, Canada, and Mexico have invaded Japan and/or bombarding its cities. The Soviets have NO CHANCE at taking Manchuria due to how weak their forces is + they are focusing on Germany. Take Siberia with the Help of whatever Soviet forces are remaining. Then, if the US/Mexicans/Canadians haven't taken Japan then build up your Pacific navy with Mountabatten and invade Japan. At that point you can invade France, and then the Germans will try to counterattack with their troops since they've probably taken the European USSR. the US, Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, and France will help you since they've probably spammed so many units to Spain. Once the Wehrmacht is destroyed, you can blitz through Germany, the Balkans and the USSR. Victory! by bruhvonbruh

#### United States

Similar to 1939 Conquest

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 Japan coastline, then launch a simultaneous attack. Focus on enemy carrier and on ports. You need to take out Japanese fleet before invading there mainland. Don't stop producing submarines until you win against enemy fleet.

Use your troops on Honolulu to retake south Pacific island then attack Thailand and Philippines.

Send some troops from Alaska to help USSR and ROC against Japan. You need to stop progress of Japan in ROC. Take ports around Sapporo to prepare invasion of Japan. When you finish to wipe out Japan of continent and when every Japanese ports will be under your control you will be ready to invade Japan mainland.

In the Atlantic, Spam heavy tanks and rocket artillery and use them, along with a fleet of cruisers to invade Spain, once Spain has been defeated, take back France and you should have enough resources and industry to take on Germany and Italy. Same things for Africa. If you want to use your troops on Atlantic coastline, send your fleet to help defend United Kingdom or near Africa to prepare a landing operation. Send your land troops near Brazil to attack Africa with Brazil, Cuba and Mexico when they will enter in war.

After you defeat Japan, attack Axis in Europe from Asia and Africa, if you successfully land with Brazil.

### **Regional Powers**

#### Australia

Playing as Australia in 1943 is not hard... since you only got one front, kick the Japanese away, getting Thailand, always use paratroopers in taking islands and defenceless remote cities. The Americans usually take down Japan, so you will not need to invade japan homeland. Then just divert troops to attack westward, spam heavy tanks along the way and eventually take over central Asia, Europe, then finally take down Africa (or UK if it is invaded by axis). Submarines are a really good option in the early game to take down Japanese ships and aircraft carriers. While invading westward it would be nice to defend India's west coast with ships to prevent Italy landing on it.

#### Canada

Use a similar tactic to America. Land in Asia to defeat Japan there, don't go in Europe and Africa. Take control of Japanese ports and eliminate them fast. In my game, I try to land in Africa but I was overwhelmed and wipe out of there. After that, I was not fast enough so Axis army of Africa and of Europe came to me after taking the control of India. A lot of heavy tanks (around 30) and a few generals (Graziani, Manstein, Messe, Badoglio, Boris, Leeb and a lot of other funny guys). Try to resist enough time to transfer your generals of Japan to China border. Don't forget that you need to advance, not only to resist. The front will be huge, from South of India (under Axis control) to the top of the map. I was completely demoralized but if you accomplish some goals it's possible to win, and don't forget that you can take a lot more turns for rank S with 2 stars country. So your goals should be defeating Axis generals, reduce the size of the front (by retaking India) and develop your technology level (to unlock nuclear bomb and missile silo). After that, try to make troops of small Axis countries disappear by taking all there cities and ports. When you will be ready to attack Africa, use paratroopers and missiles (all city of Africa except Cairo, Alexandria and Tripoli are level 1 so, if there is no unit inside, it should be easy to take them). Don't forget to eliminate isolate troops in Africa if you don't want bad surprises. Finish by taking Europe.

#### China

As China, you start in a situation where Your top priority is to hold on to Wuhan. That is your main priority. Due to the incompetent Soviet AI, they will eventually lose Moscow by turn 6. So, it is important you try to take Nanking or Peking, in order to have enough money to hold of Germany. Japan will prioritise taking Wuhan, and the city right below Mongolia. Try to hold the cities, and take out Hata in the Rocket Artillery in order to send them to Wuhan. The Japanese will build around 4 2 stack heavy tanks and 3 2 stack rocket artillery and that's the problem. You have two medium tanks with Sun LR and Du YM, and a howitzer with Bai CX. DO NOT TRY TO TAKE HANOI, for it is not important. Once you destroy Terauchi ignore it, and send them to Wuhan. Mongolia will eventually try to take Peking, and it is important you assist them before they get destroyed. It is not to take Peking that you assist the Mongolians, but more or less trying to prevent the Japanese from spamming Heavy tanks, and ruin the city. At this point, the USA and Canada are bombarding Japan, so start pushing them back unless you don't have the money to build a batch of units. Start bombarding Shanghai and take it, and then start the invasion of Nanking, Peking, Shenyang, and Changchun. If you want some extra money, you can take Korea. Now, It is time to send all your units to Sinkiang. The German horde has arrived. A batch of tanks, infantry, and artillery will try and take Mongolia and Sinkiang, and you should upgrade them to have factories. Now, start spamming field artillery (NOT howitzers) to slowly nibble on the Axis forces while you send your main force from Korea to Mongolia. A massive battle occurs. Use your air force to bomb the hell out of Whatever generals they have, as with China under your control you can spend money on aircraft. Once the axis forces are destroyed you can push back with Cooperation with the Americans, as the UK has fallen due to massive air raids. Then, blitz through Germany. Victory! By Bruhvonbruh

#### Free France

Free France starts out with all of its generals in Africa, meaning you can use them all against the Germans in Africa. You should put Tassigny on the city in Chad because he has economic bonuses and you don't start with a good economy, only having one tier II city and 2 tier I cities. You start with 750 coins. If you have a good Artillery general (Konev, Leeb, Zhukov, you should build a tier III Howitzer on turn 2, you will have enough at that point. Use your 3 stack artillery to pound on Walmart Rommel, and then go for Manteuffel and try to steal some cities from Egypt or the UK if possible. Italy will eventually Take Cairo after Riccardi bombards it like crazy. It is important you build units to take it in order to have a steady flow of income, and once that happens you should take Italian East Africa. Once you take the African cities of the Interior, Take Dakar before Brazil can, and then take Casablanca and Algiers. Don't try to build any ships except subs since the Italians will try to flood units into Egypt and Libya. Once the Italian war machine is destroyed and you have destroyed their ships and Units with your 3 stack howitzer, start spamming light infantry in Casablanca and Algiers in order to take Sevilla. the Cubans/Americans/Canadians have probably taken A Coruna by that point. Italy and Germany will eventually invade the UK due to the German subs destroyed the Royal Navy. It is important you blitz through Spain and at least take Southern France in order to balance the German to French economies. By that point you will have Madrid (Tier 3 Factory) So you can build a Heavy tank. Try to save up to 2 stack heavy or 3 stack, however if you can't and need to spam subs then just build a 1 stack with one of your tank generals (It doesn't matter how good they are, Germany doesn't have any good Tank generals at this point due to the Soviets killing them all.) at this point you can just Blitz through Germany and take out the Balkans. Victory! by bruhvonbruh

#### India

It is one of the most easiest country to play in 1943 conquest. Don't attack very fast the starting units are fragile they will be destroyed very fast instead make a 3 stack heavy tank in New Delhi and put your best tank annihilate it and annihilate the Thais and Japanese from Indochina and Southeast Asia.

Send one or two motorised infantry to China and capture Chongking while the Japanese are attacking it there you can make heavy tanks which will capture the rest of Japanese now don't spend much resources in Japanese theatre instead use airforce and paratroopers to capture all cities and turn attention towards European armies who will be at doorsteps if the Italians are coming from sea then make few battleships and submarines and don't try to invade Africa it can be disaster instead capture soviet cities and further push the axis powers to europe and capture balkans italy, france, Germany, Spain and UK. it will cut the resources from Africa and invade Africa to end the battle

Don't have much hopes from allies and don't give much attention to navy after stabilising Japan until you capture Italy .

Or you could try to use the strategy from above, but fully take Japan and then push against the Blitzkrige of the west and slowly retake key cities like Moscow and Stalingrad, you should also aid Britain, the USSR, ROC, and Mongolia financially, aid Britain because if Britain gets taken early then it will open up chances to attack the USA and Canada, aiding the other countries mentioned will help them revolt the attack and open up chances to take cities westward, taking the balkans and effectively wiping out Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania, you should have unlocked the missiles now, use it to take Italy and advance northward into Germany with your land troops and use bombers or missiles when necessary, don't worry about the UK as USA and Canada will usually be able to take it. Once you've successfully wiped out the Germans in Europe and taken their territory, advance all your troops towards Spain and once you've taken Spain you can use missiles and bombers to take every African city that's left, be mindful of ports and remember to take those and you've won.

### **Minor Powers**

#### Brazil

Brazil is easy. You just invade Africa with two of your arty generals(Konev and Leeb.) in Rio De Janeiro and your naval general(Nimitz on a tier-two cruiser). Once you have wrecked Walmart Rommel, start building an expeditionary force to Sevilla and hopefully, they will secure the city there. In Africa, still all the cities from your allies to give your economy a boost and make sure to capture Cairo to throw down all three of your tank gens; nearly maxed Guderian, Manstein, and Rommel. Once Africa is secured, you need to start spamming heavies to secure the middle east(hopefully take out Iran and Iraq) and start grinding your way to China. In Europe, hopefully, you wouldn't have to spend over 50 rounds in Europe with Spain, France, and England and make sure to capture Cologne for those missile technology. Once you've got missiles at level 7, it's easy. Missile the hell out of the rest of the fascist dogs and you'll win.

#### Cuba

Money is a problem with Cuba. In the first turns you should lead troops down the East coast and send troops to Africa. However you should be careful because Italy will send a heavy tank and Graziani is also there, so you need to capture some German ports and prevent the Italian invasion, once it is smooth in Africa then you should be careful. led his army to attack Spain and then take over all of Europe. At this point you can lead the way through Central America and then proceed with the US and Canada to attack Japan. However, Cuba is quite difficult for new players, you need a few mid-range generals like Leeb or Messe to make the conquest easy.

#### Egypt

Egypt has gained a few territories. The territory they gained came from their allies, the UK and France. The UK controls what was previously Italian in North central Africa. The only adjacent enemy to Egypt is Italy in the South. Germany has a large army ready to take over the entire continent unless action is taken quickly to support/replace the French and British in between them and Egypt. Defeating the Italians to the South can be difficult because of the two generals, but they only have two territories. Remember to produce submarined to take the ports in the mediterranean and kill Ricciardi, which will try to bomb Cairo. Your number one priority after taking Italian Africa is Germany, but make sure to hold the ports. With the immediate threat out of the way, marching west toward the German territory and preparing for the amphibious assault from Europe can be done.

#### Mexico

As Mexico, you start out with a normal army, navy, and economy. You need to focus on Japan before attempting to attack Spain. Cuba, the USA, and Brazil will hold for you. If you would like, you could ditch the attempt to take Japan and in return attack the rest of South America, which will give you the money to divide it in half for both fronts or completely focus on one front. That front is to be the Asian front, as Japan will be a monster very quickly. You are very far away from Japan, so it is important that you build a navy of a cruiser, 2 destroyers, 2 submarines as a starting escort force for your convoys heading over to Hawaii. If you want, you can assist China and take Shanghai in the process, however this is extremly not recommended. Wait for the USA to attack the Japanese fleet, and assist them in such actions. On your cruiser which can be a 2 stack if you want, put your best naval general. This is **EXTREMELY** important in fighting the IJN, as your cruiser will cause lots of damage. At this point, it is likely turn 10 to 15 especially if you are in the process of invading South america. Now, once you have defeated the IJN, get your convoys ready to attack Japan, and take the city right next to Osaka. DO NOT attack Tokyo or Osaka. Those regions are heavily fortified. Once you take the city, build some stuff and assault Osaka, and prepare to take Tokyo. Your goal in this operation is to take all of Japan and maybe make some colonies in Asia if you want to. Take the Phillipines if Australia has not seized it yet. Once you have defeated Japan, and your allies are slowly winning against them since Japan lacks money, start sending whatever you have in the Pacific (likely at the coast of Japan) to Outer Manchuria, and send all of it to Siberia to assist Mongolia and China against the Wehrmacht. Also, take 3 rounds to spend money on the Atlantic, and start assisting your allies in the fight against the Kriegsmarine, Regia Marina, and the Spanish Armada. Once you have defeated these fleets, start attacking Spain. Having so much money at this point it should be easy to take Sevilla. Clear out the fortifications first. The rest is self explanatory. Continue your advance into Spain, and then take Casablanca and take the rest of Africa using paratroopers, and build some units to take Cairo. Now, start the attack on France. Seize Paris and Milan, and continue the Blitzkrieg into Germany. Continue the attack into Europe, and you have achieved a greater Mexican Empire. Reverse colonization am I right? Victory! By bruhvonbruh.

#### Mongolia

Mongolia is the Finland for the allied powers. It is very easy to play for new players, as the Japanese will not focus on your troops until they have taken half of China, which is very hard for them to achieve. Save up some cash, around $1000, to build a 3 stack artillery with one of your artillery generals, then save up some more and build a 3 stack medium tank with one of your tank generals. Then, just wait. Wait for Japan to take the city right below you in China, then take it to increase your economy. Your goal is to create greater Mongolia, by taking Peking and Manchuria. Japan will build a bunch of heavy tanks and rocket artillery, so you should spam infantry to nibble on their health while your Artillery general pounds on the Heavy Tanks. Try to defeat Yamashita and his force of troops before the Soviets take Manchuria, so that you can take it. Once you've taken Manchuria and gained an extra source of money, Assist the Chinese in Peking, but occupy it for yourself, then head down south, as the Japanese have likely taken Wuhan at this point. It is recommended NOT to take those cities and leave them to the Chinese so that they can gain some money. Use your air power to take Korea, and just start saving some money to prepare for the German onslaught after the Soviets lose in Europe. Now, is the chance to restore the Mongol Empire. build some forts to halt the German onslaught into your country while you wait for the Soviets to collapse, then blitz through Siberia. Germany has also captured the UK so it is hopeless on the Western front, as the AI sucks. Peking has a tier III factory, so build a 2 or 3 stack heavy tank with your BEST tank general, and send him to defend your homeland. Once the Axis armies are destroyed, take Siberia, restore the Mongol Empire. Then, as Spain has surrendered and the Americans are blitzing through France. Now, invade Russia and Eastern Europe. Victory! By bruhvonbruh

## **Axis Powers**

### **Great Powers**

#### German Reich

Germany in conquest 1943 has three initial objectives: capture Moscow and Leningrad in the north, Defend Kiev against the Russian horde in the east, and destroy British and French opposition in West Africa. Use Donitz's submarine fleet to wreak havoc on the British navy whilst sending Kesselring to Paris (or Cologne if you have the industry to spare) and Rundstedt to Africa. Be wary of Allied landings in the West and prevent them at all costs.

#### Kingdom of Italy

It is recommended that you have 1 good tank general and 1 good artillery general. Assault lvl 1(tanks) is highly recommended.

You will start with 2 tank generals in the mainland(Messe and Graziani)2 generals in Africa(Cavallero a tank general and Campioni an artillery general) and 1 navy general(Riccardi) You should declare war on Switzerland and conquer it with Messe and Graziani to gain some money. Send Cavallero and Campioni to conquer the British territories around you. Send Riccardi and his fleet to destroy the British admirals fleet that is in the Mediterranean. Spam subs to fasten the process. France will launch an assault on you if you conquer one of the British African territories around your African territories. Hold your ground till the attack ends. By turn 6, you should have destroyed the British fleet. Capture the port at Libya and proceed to have your navy fleet to capture Egypt's port and destroy Alexandria. If you're lucky, your allies might have destroyed the city of Tripoli. Drop a paratrooper to capture it. After this, the allies in Africa are basically destroyed, capture the remaining cities with air attacks and capitualte France and Egypt.

You should now open new fronts in order to help your allies. The best thing to do is sending Messe in France and Graziani in the Balkans, to defend from the soviets which at this point will have killes Germany eastern general and started pushing back. Produce tier 3 tanks in Milan and assign your best tank generals to them, sending them to those two fronts. Your main goal is to protect high income cities such as Paris, Madrid or Warsaw, stealing them from your allies for more income, and killing the allies generals while they are still at sea with planes and heavy tanks. Once the soviet army is crushed, rush and take their main cities, which will have very low health at this point. Once missile are developed, the game is most likely won. Take the British Isle and capitulate the United Kingdom.

A risky thing to do would be trying to take India, their cities have a lot of health and are far away, but will bring great income and will prevent them from spamming troops to Africa. Your reconquest of Asia should start from there.

#### Imperial Japan

For 1943, it is best for the Japanese to focus on attacking the Chinese forces as they are the largest threat. The USSR would be too busy with the Germans so place a mediocre tank general on the heavy tank and breeze through the Eastern territories. Try to keep your generals in China alive as they are precious and sacrifice unmanned units if needed. Place your best land generals in China and focus there. Even if it means sacrificing southern pacific territories. When China as a whole capitulates (after taking Wuhan, Hongkong and Chong king it should be a piece of cake), split up your armies to take India and Mongolia. Use the remaining garrison in South Pacific to destroy Australia, then use these forces to invade South America (only Brazil, Mexico and Cuba. Don't declare war to neutral country) and then Africa.

In the ocean, get aircraft generals on the spare carriers and focus on the Midway Atoll capturing it with the forces stationed in Japan. After Midway, go straight for Hawaii and then use the two islands as a staging area to launch and invasion of Mexico, use all the Pacific fleet to cover them as it will be difficult to keep your soldiers from dying. From Mexico, use the country as a staging point for the invasion of the United States continuing north from the coastal cities. But really, once you have conquered China and Mongolia as well as Eastern Russia, you'll have the budget to survive the war.

Or

I won with Japan in 60 turns without any generals or nukes and captured all the cities in America and Brazil by myself. I also captured entire Africa except Cairo and Ethiopia, in Asia I reached the Yekaterinburg-Astana-Stalingrad line.

I will tell you my strategy. With Japan you have 4 star cities which is a huge advantage. So deploy your landmark buildings first of all. On Tokyo deploy Technology center, deploy Industrial centre on Yokohama, deploy Power plant on Peking, deploy Financial centre on Nanking and deploy Trading Market on Seoul(do exactly as I told you and do not interchange the landmark buildings or it will cost you a few turns, if you do not have the following landmark buildings then gain them through playing domination)

Next, in China your main focus should be to protect your artillery generals at any cost and take down the Chinese generals as quickly as possible. Do not assault Wuhan or Hong Kong , instead send Kuribiyashi to the North to help take down the unnamed Chinese city at the top. Send Itagaki to China.

Coming to Manchuria do not assault Novikov instead focus on Khabarovsk and try to preserve Yamashita as he is going to be essential. Your manchurian strike group will consist of Yama, the howitzer and heavy tank.

Do not defend Hanoi as it will cost you a lot of money and there is no guarantee that you will succeed , also do not try to retake it. Do not care about defending Terauchi and just try to do maximum damage to the Chinese generals and then let him die. Use your aircraft carrier to hit Mountbatten. It will take 45 turns to take him out using only the aircraft carrier but it does not matter. Send two destroyers to Europe via the Suez Canal to fight in the Mediterranean. The rest of your fleet in Indonesia and Philippines will fight against Australia(do not send any ships from the Philippines fleet to Midway or Hawai). Produce two one stack Cruisers and try to take out Australia in 10 turns (I took out Australia in 11) For that there is no need to produce any land units, your navy and airborne units will suffice.

With the fleet in Tokyo take out Midway in seven turns(one land unit will suffice if you play carefully).Then begin assaulting Hawai. In Hawai, MacArthur will spawn on two stack mechanised infantry; Patton will spawn on a heavy tank while Spruance will spawn on an aircraft carrier.

Meanwhile in China, just paratroop troops in front of your arty generals to serve as meatshield. You can not produce proper units in China because most of your money will be spent on the Australian campaign in the form of fighters and paratroopers. India will start sending troops against you and there will be a massive troop spam which will threaten to overrun your position in China and to avoid that retreat to Peking and Nanking and spam commandos from there every turn(yes two commandos every turn), the good thing with Japanese commandos is their damage does not get reduced even if they are damaged which mean a full health commando will do as much damage as a commando with 1 health. You will have enough money to do this as you will have conquered Australia by now.

With your Manchuria task force keep on taking city after city until you meet the Germans. It is extremely easy as Yamashita more often than not reduces a full health level one city to no health in one turn, then build airports on all cities you have captured and paratroop and take the city which Yamahita has attacked. Novikov will attack you as well so spam light infantry and kill him and take the city he is positioned on at the start of the game. Do not attack Mongolia yet. By turn 25 USSR will be dead and you will have reached the Yekaterinburg-Astana-Stalingrad line(hopefully Stalingrad will be under your control)

Returning to Hawai you should have taken it by turn twenty with help form your Australian fleet.

Now launch an all out offensive against China and do not rest until you have reached Mumbai and Rangon. Now invade Mongolia and knock it out of the war.

Invade Alaska by turn 25 and paratroop light infantry from the unnamed Russian city. You should be able to take the unnamed Alaskan city and from there spam three stack medium tanks. By turn 35 you should have taken Anchorage and at the same time you unlock missile technology. Missilekrieg through the rest of the world. You should be able to win by turn 60 or turn 65 by most without any generals and nukes.

Hope it helps.

### **Regional Powers**

#### Spain

As Spain, you start in a neutral position, with a normal economy, army, and navy. All of these are enough to hold of the American and Canadian landings in A Coruna. DO ***NOT*** attack Portugal until you have completely destroyed the entire American and Canadian forces, and then you can attack it for extra money + having a dockyard which you can spam submarines from. Having this extra money, you should build a task force of 1 medium tank, 1 howitzer, 2 light tanks, 2 2 stack motorized infantry, and 2 2 stack assault infantry for use in Africa. Once this taskforce is build, put your navy general on the cruiser that is near Barcelona at the start of the game, and build a tier 2 heavy tank with your tank general on it. With this force, you will have plenty of units to hold off the Cuban and Brazilian advance. If you want, you can go on the offensive and go for Brazil which will loosen the amount of units Germany will have to hold off in Africa, and it will also give a staging point in America. However this is not recommended as you also need to deal with Cuba and Mexico. Use the task force you built up in Africa and take whatever cities the UK, Egypt, or France may have tooken, and cooperate with your allies to take those cities. Once you have secured Africa, you could go for India if you want an extra dollar or two. Continue advancing in Southeast Asia, and then attack Australia. Now, you are to send whatever units you have WEST of Tripoli, and start the attack on America. Now, the invasion is self explanatory: Take Brazil, rest of south America, then move your way up north to New York and San francisco. Victory! by bruhvonbruh.

IF you do try the attack on Brazil, send your entire navy over there and a task force of atleast 8 units to take Fortaleza, and then attack Rio De Janiero. Once you have conquered Brazil, take the rest of South America and then start a naval invasion of Mexico. This is probably during turn 20-30 that you are doing this invasion, so it is important that you are able to take South America before the allies start their attack on mainland Japan. Now, once you have conquered the rest of Mexico, start the invasion of the USA. Once you have completed the attack on San Francisco, build a nuke as you probably have enough at this point. Now, you have conquered the Americas, thus resulting in the western hemisphere secured. With this in place, start moving all of your units towards China, Australia, who knows, imagine a Spanish Australia! At this point Germany and the other axis powers have secured much of the Soviet Union, so you do not need to worry about it. Now, seize whatever remaining cities the Allies may have in Asia, and you have secured your title as the Spanish Empire. Columbus would be proud. Victory! By bruhvonbruh.
