I know that 1950 is really hard to finish with a one star but after playing with Portugal and getting killed by the Russians and playing as Mongolia and taking over/stealing all of Japan but getting steamrolled by the big NATO army coming from Europe I thought is it was impossible to finish without generals.
After playing as Mongolia I learned that playing as WTO would be harder as there are only 2 significant allies, the Russians and the China and
since allies are useless in conquest I figured that the best country to play with would be a NATO country but I had to be not too far away since my allies will inevitably be destroyed but not too close as Russia or China have big armies and I don’t have big generals.
After searching and playing with other countries I found the perfect country, Norway. You may be thinking that they are too close to the Russians but the sea separating you two is key. Since the artilery generals and the Rokossovsky usually start taking the north and have to cross the sea that is the opportunity you get.
First turn: On my first turn I made and Howitzer and moved the both howitzers to the coast north of Sweden and made a sub
After: I kept killing the super tanks and the the generals Gorov,Zhukov, Rokossovsky and konev while they were in the sea by spamming subs every turn and shooting then with the artilery.
Tips: keep one of the generals alive and let them land so they take over Sweden so you can steal it from them but let them land with almost quarter health so they don’t take you out too.
You must have control over the port that Sweden has or else Russia will make Desteoyers and kill your howitzers plus you can make subs from there to kill gens.
Don’t rush to taking over the European countries as that money could be used on subs or a howitzer to keep the Russians at bay and Poland will join the Russians
Again don’t rush your conquest as I finished it in 131 turns and still got an S ranking.
I must admit I did restart the conquest at least 2 times when Russia landed 2 generals or when they took the Sweden port.
I hope the post helped you

I play Thailand now in 1950. First took out the french in Indochina and then the English, island hopping towards australia. Manila is usually bombed so await the oppertunity to clear the city and paratroop into it. Ships will kill your unit, but can´t take it from you Then you'll have a missile base early in the game and australia will be easy to take using missiles and paratroopers. Via Hongkong or Taipei, Japan will be in reach and will prove to be an easy target and those cities will have been bombed to bits as well. USA fortunately took Korea and Kamtsjatka, so it was easy to liberate those. In Korea and Japan you can built 3 heavy tanks per turn, so landunits and ships will kill themselves. In short -> Expand quickly -> don't bother with their ships and kill land units to prevent your cities from being taken. You can save money when you don't need to defend them. |

Singlemalt, egypt cannot be done without at least 2 good artillery and 2 good tank generals, so im thinking thailand and norway are indeed wiser choices, but as thailand wouldnt you get overwhelmed by nato from europe?

So im playing with Brazil. I have decent techs and decent generals. I managed to take whole south america, half of africa, spain, greece, egypte, turkey and few cityes in france. Anyway in arabia there is a big combined mongolia,iran,china and ussr force coming and im lossing my ground. In france i cant really take cities bc when i take one city they just build few 3* tanks and push me back. So basicly im fighting on two sides and i only get like 1400 per turn. Idk if i should quit and if i do if there is some even easier country to take ?

This should drain most of their resources. Use 2X or 3X heavy tanks to hold the line. Then, focus on France, use missiles to support your ground forces. Lay waste to 3X heavy tanks that directly threaten your army using missiles then take the city. The key is to advance slow and steadily here, the USSR is practically a hyperpower in Europe and you are a world superpower with many theatres to fight in. If Greece is peaceful and undisturbed, try to use a small force to capture the Balkans. Do NOT be hyper aggressive here because you're trying to be covert. |

Im not that scared of ussr because they dont seem that active. They usually just creat 3* tanks now and than. But other little countrys spam units like crazy. Poland for example holds uk and half of frnace and they just creat atleat two havies per turn. Also iran and bulgaria spam units aswell. The problem is if i dont creat tanks on all fronts im bound to loose a city per turn. And i cant afford 3* tanks bc of that. |

This is a massive problem with WC4, and is dangerously close to a turn off. Never focus on the major powers, such as The USSR or, to a more minor extent, China. In both 1943 and 1950, I would highly advise taking the smaller countries out first. You aren't wrong in regard to the need for tanks because of this. In fact, this is the ONLY reason my Egypt 1943 conquest is getting anywhere. If I built literally any other unit the risk of losing my front-line cities, or the front-line, itself, is too great. |

Well in 1943 with egypt i didnt have that problem. Its all about controling mediteranian. I built subs to take it and than cruiser to take cities. But in 1950 you cant take the mediteranian bc of the sub spam. Idk its really easy with two star country. One star seems a bit to hard |

Easiest is Portugal,Mexico ir Brazil,the trick for 1950 is to sent all of your troops to africa,take down egypt and other middle east allies,then storm the balkans and cut the poles out of the fight at the same time take Stalingrad and its easy from here then,i farm 1950-80 conquest for money and resources thats how i knew this trick since the balkan allies of the SU do most of the work weaking French cities.
