It was difficult to see which section this would fit in but its conquest related so i guess it could fit here. Anyways I will be attempting a true world conquest for each country in challenge mode, what do I mean by this? Rules are simple: Turn 1: Declare War on every nation including your allies
I will usually just submit victory screens if I can finish a conquest, however for ones that I find challenging or interesting I will post breakdowns of what I did for certain sets of turns Its obvious that some of these can be done F2P while others require IAP. Regardless I will suggest whether each country could be done Without IAP or not plus any tips on how to start off and to-dos in order to be successful. This most likely will not be of help to anybody, just mere entertainment lol but I do encourage anyone to try it out

Germany 1939 F2P viable:Yes Summary: A challenging conquest at first but wanes out during the mid game. I first pushed to Scandinavia to eliminate a front, then sent my western forces to occupy northern France while my Eastern forces slowly killed off Poland. My southern forces were on defense as pushing into the balkans was risky. My naval forces concentrated on eliminating Britain’s to pave a landing. Meanwhile at home I used Dowding on Munich to get faster to tech lvl 7.After clearing out Scandinavia I regrouped them to the East side to now wait for the Soviets attack. Used my konev and rommel along with the starting Bitrich to confuse soviet gens, encircle, and destroy them as they are pretty deadly. I used my guderian with starting leeb to stall the balkan spam while starting manstein went to conquer Iberia and starting Guderian to Italy. I managed to win all these fronts and from then on it was relatively easy; spawned donitz to destroy London and eliminate mainland UK while my eastern forces drove to Asia while my Balkan forces split: one to India and the other to Arabia. I had Guderian and Manstein stay for a bit in their respective places to kill off any invaders and later sent them to Africa. After getting lvl 7, it was just missile spam and air bombing as my economy was huge and swiftly took over Oceania, Americas and East Asia

Italy 1939 Mosy likely the hardest 3 star, Italy deserves a breakdown of how to successfully complete this challenge the F2P way Turns 1-10 Europe I evacuated most of my gens to Africa as trying to push towards Europe is suicide since Germany is now our enemy. I got really lucky in this run as Leeb targeted Swiz and moved to Paris so the mainland was generally intact except for Milan which was giving ownership to everyone lol. My main objective in this front is controlling the seas to make our eventual landings to Europe easier if mainland Italy does fall. I deployed Nimitz on the double cruiser to fasten this process(will save donitz and darlan for the elite units) and Dowding on an inf in rome for more income although soon I used the skytrain to drop him in tripoli to save him from dying. He is vital for this conquest Africa My main priority as of now was conquer Africa to gain economy and remove a front. I spawned Guderian on a pershing and quickly used my stationary troops in synergy with him to target the french tank gen and the inf gens who can pack a punch if left at full health. After clearing them, I split my forces into 2, Guderian moved east to knock out Egypt and venture into the Middle East while the rest went south to capture every city left. Since I evacuated Graziani and Badoglio to Africa, I sent them to West Africa where I will most likely Graziani to move up to Moroccan Spain and back up to Europe while Badoglio moves to Dakar and await for reinforcements to invade South America. As for East Africa, the attacks were weak and I quickly switched to offense. Once done with Afrca, I will split them with the majority to capture the British lands in Arabia So far this looks very doable for F2P as I am successful in one front while holding my ground in the other. Germany is doing well at wearing everyone off including themselves which is perfect for me to swoop in eventually

Italy 39 Turns 10-20 things started going awry right away, the spam at Dakar was getting huge so Grazianis spanish crusade was put on hold. Meanwhile british and Indian subs blocked my Italian navy from assisting my troops to land by Sana and it led to a deadly crossing. Meanwhile at home, Bastico was close to death from defending Rome and more german gens started to pile up to try to even touch Rome. Fortunately, my economy was stable from taking over a whole continent and I was able to spawn Rommel on the Centurion tank and soon after Konev on the BM while I sent Bastico on a little invasion to the west Still the situation in Europe was bleak as Germany was collapsing and the Allies were growing stonger. Just when things couldn’t get any worse this happens the LAST gen i wanted to face was a max tiger Manstein yet it happened. Even in his weak health he can with his perk subtract a good amount of my Guds health and stall my offensive. I quickly built inf to surround him fully so Gud can confuse him with lvl 5 rumor the outcome Turns out 75% doesn’t mean much in the end 😂 and Manstein wiped every single troop but my gen there and took Ankara. Luckily my Guderian is a deadly force and 2 shot Manstein since he buried himself inside a city. However the damage was done and my potent army had to be reassembled buying time for India and Iran to swarm Iraq. At the end of turn 20, Africa was in my hands and so was the majority of the middle East as I will push with Guderian to India to “relieve” the Japs. In Europe while my navy fully controlled the Mediterranean,not much has changed on land… until this Might seem like a game over but for me its the perfect opportunity. The main reason I feared invading Europe was cause of Kluge and for good reason which should be obvious lol. Now tho he is at my home overstretched which enables me to neutralize him. It is a lil annoying that he sent a decoy in the stuka with tanks but hopefully i can pull it off so I can finally reclaim Europe for pizza land

To be clear, you declared war on the whole rest of the world on round 1 f2p?
I might try Germany ‘39 challenge this way.

Italy 39 Turns 20-30 Graziani finally landed and it now freed any troops stationed to protect Barca to defend Zurich and attack Austria As for the German attack Rather anticlimactic lol but with Kluge gone I can now freely invade without any major repercussions to my gens health. I pushed Rommel to Germany while Roko(who i spawned as a backup in case Konev couldn’t activate his rumor) drove to Warsaw and Konev went to Moscow Something I noticed however was that all the American commanders except for Eichelberger went west to Hawaii to eliminate the Japanese gens(probably the best thing my former allies have done). I took advantage by building an airport in Coruna and paratrooping by the port of Halifax. After capturing it, i put Donitz on HMS Wales and Darlan on the Richelieu to bombard the East coast of America My tech level is at 7 yes so I could missile spam the Americas. Unfortunately my resources weren’t sufficient even before spawning the 2 ships and the amount of enemies would lead to a unnecessary tug of war as Ill just be wasting precious industry and tech. 2 super ships will allow me to save 4-10 missiles per round where I can use them in better areas like Oceania or Japan as of turn 30, this is how my fronts look like Looks like even the hardest 3 star from an economic perspective is doable for f2p

Here’s where I got with Germany. I don’t really wish to continue Declaring war shouldn’t create a third party so that your former allies still fight your original enemy (Italy/Spain/France still fight).

Italy 39 Turns 30-38 the game was now a speedrun contest with 70% of cities being under my control. I just airspammed with Chennault and Arnold on inf to skytrain them to multiple locations. Knocked out Australia, UK, USSR, Japan and China and left USA and Canada isolated. My last ground invasion happened in Mexico with Badoglio and the other gen on Stuka capturing Mexico City and strafing the 2 mexican cities up north. My naval gens were under massive fire and trying to take over the east coast with land forces was going to be tedious. Luckly this is where air gens like Arnold shine . I deployed paratroops near every US port and once they captured it, missile spam every us city. This just left poor Canada which quickly fell one turn later

Japan 1939 F2P Viable:Yes Arguably the only nation where mid game or even beginners can succeed in this challenge. There isnt much of a difference compared to regular conquest other than the south american spam which is really weak. Your former allies arent much of a threat and they help you by weakening USSR and UK as well as themselves in the process. Proceed to conquer China and Mongolia while sending a small force to capture Soviet East Asia and a decent army to land in Alaska while your navy eliminates the Americans at Midway and Hawaii. The carrier strike group under Mikawa need to go south to eliminate the Philippines and Dutch East Indies and eventually knock out Australia. When you land in Alaska prioritize the northern Alaskan city as its less fortified and spawn a good tank gen on an EF(I put Guderian on a Pershing although any other ef tank works fine). From there just move southwards and work in synergy with your navy to capture the West Coast and killing Abrams. From here on out its a cakewalk as your economy would be sufficient for you to push in every front. I highly suggest maxing out the arty tech and the air force tech to help you capture and neutralize gens in cities.

USSR 1939 F2P Viable:Yes Basically 1950 but on steroids. I was surprised at how despite being on an easier faction(axis nations have a disadvantage when neutrals ally with the Allies than vice versa) i encountered more resistance and was much slower than Italy and Japan Play defensively on western front and Manchuko front while you invade Mongolia and West China. Send the starting Konev and some arts to the middle east to gain more cities and stop the British expansion there. Prioritize german gens especially Guderian and Brauch who go head on for Moscow by flanking them and summoning a general who has rumor. While youre at war with Poland, avoid attacking them and use them as buffer troops to encircle and weaken other german gens. I highly suggest maxing out the arty tech as they are key to winning this challenge. After defeating Kluge the northern side of the West is vulnerable and suited for you to attack recklessly. The southern side will be more resilient however so a tank gen like Rommel should be deployed there to halt their offensive. After you reach Berlin, things will smooth out and keep pushing to France and divert your troops to Italy and Iberia; leftover troops should eliminate any incoming troops from UK. As for Scandinavia, an art by Riga should take care of Finland while Norway and Sweden battle to the death for you to swoop in with ease In the Middle East, there isnt much to worry and quickly split your troops into 3: one to Iran, another to Dubai, and the other to Sana. Send Konev to Sana and have him swim to Africa to gain a foothold by Ethiopia. While in Asia, just hold the Japanese offensive to your cities. Send remaining troops from Mongolia to your side to push them back. Your end goal should be conquering Korea and stealing any empty Chinese city. Your troops from Western China should move down and knock out India. For mainland Japan, a naval gen on the HMS Wales should clear most of the troops and forts or you could wait until the Americans destroy Tokyo for you to paratroop. Once you conquered mainland Europe, Asia and Japan, just wait out until you reach tech lvl 7.Missile spam Oceania, Africa(any cities that Konevs group didnt take), U.K cities, Canada, US and South America in that order

UK 1939 F2P Viable:Yes Pretty straightfoward; spam subs in english channel and set up a trap by opening spaces for troops and enemy gens to fall in and die. In your other theaters you should deploy most of your gens to rapidly take over important sections. I deployed Rommel in Africa, Leeb in Middle East, Nimitz near Java and Darlan and Dowding near the UK to help our economy and grant extra damage to our nearby ships. Your starting troops in the mainland should split up and go for Scandinavia and Iberia to establish a strong base. For Scandivania, you can settle and defend as constant paratroop spam will oblige you to continuously defend the cities while in Iberia quickly knock out Portugal and send Horton and support units to help your army land. After this you can send Horton and co. To Cuba or help secure the Mediterranean although in my playthrough Rommel already secured all of Africa so I just sent Horton west. Any remaining troops from Africa should invade Italy in conjunction with your Iberian army. Your middle eastern troops should defend once you defeat Turkey and Iran as a multitude of German gens will come from the North. I deployed Guderian there in case Leeb wasnt strong enough. After stopping the invasion, start two offensives one to India and the other to the Caucuses. The Balkans can wait until the gens there cross over and get killed in the water. In Burma, after defeating Thailand and French Indochina, move up to take advantage of a weakened China and soon start building armored cars in cities to stall the Japanese offensive. As for Australia, I hasNimitz and nearby units defend Java and after Australias spam weakend, I proceeded to land and later embark to Hawaii to capture the port before a japanese gen would. As usual once missiles are unlocked, use an air gen and skytrain them to cities with good access to a multitude of targets and spam(Winnipeg, Taipei, London etc.). This is my last 3 star and I proven that every single one of them can succeed in this challenge without any IAP method. Moving on to 2 stars

Australia 39 First 2 star where Im going to attempt this challenge, we’ll see how hard it is I will update regularly for this conquest like I did with Italy Turns 1-10 Two things to note at first, Australia has the best front out of any nation. Unfortunately this is counterbalanced by the fact their economy stinks and few troops. Even with Dowding, it took me several turns until I could spawn a decent unit. Netherlands was resilient and looked more determined to defend their colonies than their homeland lol. Germany will soon overrun them tho so we can get our first “kill” pretty early
