Hey Guys,
note: will check the sentences and if it is explained well when I am more sober
Hereby the game plan I executed when doing India 1943 conquest (2 star country)--> easiest 2 star country, China is harder in my opinion, there is harder to distribute income between holding Japan and getting Japanese/Thai cities. India = straightforward
Green lines: allies work
Red lines: where enemies will walk
Pink lines: your paths and positions. (Dashed kind of is airdrop)
Other colours: just highlights/circles etc, nothing special.
Part one, going with the flow
In the beginning China and England are awesome allies. They rush to hanoi and later bangkok.
Also australia can help liberating the indonesian Island, but thereafter they become important as major suppliers of ships to clear the oceans.
Also to start off your only focus is Asia, do not go towards Russia, you will not have the income to effectively hold Germany, and if you spend all your income there then you will fail in Asia as well. Europe will be dealt with when Japan is destroyed.
South-East Asia:
Important is that are going to need the speed here, I builded a factory in kolkata and ran towards the city of hanoi.
Dont get stressed if China is earlier, in my game the japanese navy will destroy it and make it easy for us to destroy it.
Use your ship to hurt kuala lumpur for later. Important here is that we need to surround the city and then let the english and Chinese generals do their job.
Then it may occur that thailand is stronger as expected, but create a whole then and the unit they create is going to attack yangon. Then their resources are empty and you can freely attack bangkok then and afterwards yangon if it happens to get captured
After that you can use your numbers and speed to crush the remaining of south east asia and paradrop on Borneo and Sumatra when Australia has lended there.
Middle-Asia
Middle-Asia is where the most difficult part of the conquest lies and also what determines the game.
In New Delhi you start with a level 3 factory, in the first 2 turns I builded small and fast vehicles there, they are needed to conquer manchuria (area around changchun, khabarovsk etc), this will mostly be abandoned and free to pick, use this to decrease the Japanese Income!. To be on the safe side I would recommend builded 3 because 2 was on the edge.
After those turns you have gathered the necessary technology to build a good heavy tank. I builded a 3 layered heavy tank and put Messe on it.
Then it is the art of getting to wuhan, you need together with the Chinese to slow down the Japanese advance and if possible take wuhan for yourself. By that time your army from hanoi and in my case also some from bangkok came to support me. Surround Nanking and do not look at the generals.
The generals have the tendency to move hongkong when you take this, use this to your advantage to surround them. Keep the pressure on Nanking.
In the meantime your conquest of Shenyang should be done. (In my game this was around turn 22). If you are able to capture Nanking before turn 25 you can win the conquest.
Then move your units to shanghai, the airport there is crucial!.
By that time the australian and Americans are at the Japanese shore ready to rumble them. Tokyo was about to fall so I paradroped some units above Yokohama, this was to capture Tokyo when needed.
Around those turns Sapparo and Nagasaki are ready to get.
Then the last Japanese will be crushed by bradley and patton in their tanks and you paradrop in those cities at that time.
Around this stage (turn 30-33) you should effectively control what was left of the Japanese Empire and some of China.
Europe
Okay, If you made it this far you are doing a fine job. In this period your income will be around the 1000 and your technology level will be 6.
Important in this part is not to give up hope.
Russia is overrun, Italy is coming from Egypt and all small nations are also coming.
I builded some heavy tanks in New Delhi and captured the small Iranian city. In the 3 circles with a pink circle around them I had a factory of level 3.
The one from Iran and New Delhi are to protect that flank and to prevent them from braking trough your lines.
So Keypoint repeat:
First turns make units for Manchuria and south eastern Asia
Then make heavy unit with general and other units for China.
Then paradrop in Japan while America does the dirty work. After that capture rest before their nose.
After that capture Iranian city and make sure you have level 3 factory in the 3 circled cities.
Then wait, and strike when their main attack is over.
After that attack Romania etc before facing Germany head on.
Favourite units:
Heavy tanks
Armored Cars
& Missiles

I builded some heavy tanks in New Delhi and captured the small Iranian city. In the 3 circles with a pink circle around them I had a factory of level 3.
The one from Iran and New Delhi are to protect that flank and to prevent them from braking trough your lines.
The front line here didnt move for 20 turns! so never give up hope.
THe third factory is where you are going to capitalise on. Build heavy tanks and capture build your army there. When lhasa falls you are going to take it back. In Dihua, Astanda, Stalingrad, Novosibirtsk were all different countries in my game, this means that the supply lines became long for all of them. Therefore it is a matter of building up your army and to go in the advance there when they ran out of fresh troops. The only general I encountered was Badoglio. This advance will just be simply moving your tanks forward to the next city and sometimes encircling the city before attacking it, when a rocket artillery of rarely a heavy tank was spammed.
Then around turn 60 the main Italian attack in Iran has calmed down and your immense legion of Heavy tanks can attack, take Tehran and then Split a small part of that army to go kazakhstan to help their and the remaining to go towards Damascus, in the way there i also took Baghad.
Then the front line is the following: baghdad to Astana to Yekaterinburg. Thats the line I had. Your income will be around the 1500 and in the meantime you collected a lot of industry and Technology. Use this to land in Africa around the khartoum/addis Abba height. And then you can employ your missiles and airdrops to take the crucial point in Africa, for Cairo and Alexandria dont use missiles but your heavy tanks.
In Europe you are facing the Germans while their income is still around yours. At that time the ships of Cuba, Australia, Canada and US are putting a strain on their income and you with your legion can advance in the east Stalingrad was owned by Romania and therefore I attacked that flank first. After that one is conquered continue into romania, hungary and bulgaria, do not move towards kiev and minsk, then you will just encouter good german units while getting new production facilities is crucial.
Then you can attack Vienna and Belgrade and slowly the germans will get exhausted, then you will probably conquer Moscow and be able to win the rest of the Game (btw your attack on Vienna will distract them enough for other eastern units to be able to attack without too many casualties.
This is just how I did it.
totall completion time: 104 turns, A rank. 122 cities, 1 general used: Messe (did upgrade his health with the 10k update) and he had the armored assault medal which was insignificant)
Can be done better.
