Hi all! Today I am going to introduce an entirely fresh method for tackling the challenge of playing as the UK in the 1950 conquest. Before we start, I would like to point out that this conquest demands decent technology and at least 3 or 4 solid generals, at least 2 good tank generals, 1 good artillery general and a navy/infantry/support general you have. Of course the conquest can be done with only the first 3 generals mentioned but it will be rather tough and sluggish.
To begin with, I would like to cite a possible thought that might go through your head when you attempt this conquest: OH MY GOODNESS! SUPER ROCKET ARTILLERY WITH 2 GENERALS! AND A CARRIER GENERAL AS WELL! UK is definitely going to rekt the distracted russians. Well, as you(and as i have in my 1st 1950 conquest ever 1 year ago) try it out, the russian and poland spam is just too overpowering, and no matter where you secure you will be repelled almost instantaneously. After playing as australia 1950, I got a brand new idea where I would focus on securing the asian front before sneaking up on the ussr and its allies from their backs whilst they are preoccupied. The choice city for that will be: BURMA! Yangon, to be exact, since it has a level 3 factory.
Well the image and the colorful(at least thats what i hoped to convery XD) font above are clickbait, and I will proceed to elaborate on my strategy in another post here when I find time to do so. Essentially, the key to winning as UK in 1950, if the bottom is TLDR to you, then attacking from both sides bust prioritising the asian front is the solution. Your units from mainland UK can just attack the balkan states, while your african units hold out and even defeat egypt and start invading the middle east. The main hub of activity will be asia where most of your generals spawn in Yangon, and before I end here, the last point is to split your generals up into two, where one combats the PRC and mongolian unit spam, while the other presses on the the middle east and later to stalingrad/volgograd and donetsk. Will be back soon with the rest of the guide so stay tuned!

This was basically what had transpired, and after facing a huge spam from china and mongolia, which i rushed to defeat mongolia by invading its weak cities with my generals first so that the mongolian heavy tanks will disappear, and i turned my generals onto north korea and most of PRC before attacking and occupying beijing and nanking. In the middle east, rommel got defeated by the iranian spam, and rokossovsky almost destroyed arnold's rocket artillery, but not before i trapped his super tank in a barricade of bunkers, and spammed heavy tanks to be able to defeat middle east. If you do not have additional generals except your PRC invasion ones, settling PRC and mongolia and then resisting and counterattacking the middle eastern countries is a good method too. As an asian country, you will notice that when u are nato relying on britain to hold out against the middle east is useful while you attack PRC, but now since you are the UK and there will be no one strong enough to help you(only exceptions are blamey and macarthur, but the former takes forever to come and the latter just targets tanks and gets killed quickly), so essentially you need to hold out on two fronts alone. Key is to paratroop into discreet cities like taiwan, south korea, hong kong, shanghai, and parts of japan that have been made to 0 hp, in order to earn more resources for your main push with your generals. After the asian front is secured send fast moving units to invade the rest of russia, and your remaining generals towards the balkans and poland. I also advanced from mainland uk, keeping dowding in london to boost my income, the air carrier general to bomb ussr generals who went into the water to invade sweden and norway, and alexander with the rest to slide down to attack the balkan countries. Tough journey, but that end result will be rewarding as to put your smile on your face TLDR: Fun new conquest with a unique approach, heavy spam but its lighter than a european approach. Good generals(abt 2 or 3) and moderate tech needed. Patience is demanded for.

Thanks haha, but do prepare yourself for quite a spam! If you are experienced and lucky enough, you can fight a war on all fronts. Of course, it will be very costly and more risky. Interesting method though. This makes the third method for CWE UK, with the second being a Europe first approach if I recall correctly.

Thats quite smart too, but its a waste of the other two fronts... im guessing it involved taking cairo, putting all ur generals there then wrecking havoc on the balkans and middle east before tackling the larger powers like PRC and the USSR
