having a good game.

Playing as the US. Have slowly corrupted the system to a fascist state (so I can declare war on whoever I want). Choose to never accept allies or release puppets. Took mexico as soon as i could, tramped through the Caribbean, grabbed the small states at the top of South America and Venuzlua so i could swim in oil. Next decided to up the ante and attacked Canada "damn them eh?" Which set me on a war with the british empire.

Was building a navy and army to yomp across the nth Atlantic when Japan declared war so decided to leave the brits for a while. Instead shot across the south Pacific taking a few islands then new Zealand. by the time i got to Australia Japan had aready landed (yeah I was running a little late) So mopped up Australia and chewed up the senary between Darwin and the Phillipines. Had a fleet sunk from under me. Grabbed footholds in Papua, Borneo Indonesia and Phillipines (sort of a reverse divide and conquer)

turned left at clarkes feild and grabbed the islands off the coast of China. my reasoning was to leave the islands would allow me to raid the Jap convoys. Set three bridgeheads, two china and one at the base of korea

Okay its now 1950 i own the pacific, most of Asia and I'm about to steamroll into Africa (The Japs took Sth Africa in about 43!?!?!) playing this was I still have the remains of the british empire and the Warsaw pact (they took Europe in about 44) left to beat.

Nice. Have any nukes yet? Did Russia beat Germany?

 

[Southern_land]

hell yeah. They marched to the Atlantic, then released most of europe as Soviet block countries, france is vichy and Soviet occupied. The battle verse the WP will be the big finale. i'm currently messing around with about 350 divs, my intell tells me that the USSR has 660 by itself. I do have four strat bombers and 8 nukes, i might use a couple of those to pave a way into britain, the rest are going into Russia

 

[unmerged(105989)]

only 4 strat bombers?? Or is that 4 groups? I'd also recommend ICBMs. Those are great for taking out places like Moscow with nukes. You can also use them in the seriously long range strategic bombing role. What's the plan for your invasion of Europe and the WP? A single thrust? or multiple?

 

[Southern_land]

nope only four bombers two (well 2.25 now) nukes each

the plan such as it is is to complete mopping up that Japanese and british Empires in Africa (more a tidying up exercise)then declare on Spain (Nationalist I think) multiple landings on the med coast, probably swamp Portugal at the same time.

two nukes on the southern coast of england followed by four fleets landing troops through the radioactive haze

then the only nations left will be Italy norway sweden turkey and the south American nations and the enlarged W.P. My border with the WP extended from vladivostock to Iraq so realistically I'm going to have to kick in the backdoor which will be slow but once the AI starts moving troops east I will launch attacks through norway and sweden towards Moscow. I know its not a good plan but there is the rest of the WP to contend with too so it will be a matter of getting the AI to accumulate troops followed by my nuking them

current estimates or WP strength
