ok, after start as above
ASAP start the chain of MI x2: one to north, one to east. as main problem is distance, do it while fight for Balkans is still going on.
RED: North group, led by Commander Soviet will be called army group A (as in Anchorage or Alaska, its final destination). Their main task is to get Riga*, airbase in north that will give us way to: 1.Amsterdam (+Scandinavia) 2.London and Dublin (Irish port!) 3. New York 4. USA west Coast.
GREEN: East group is Army Group B (as in Brisbane) led by Commander Europe. ag-B Primary objective is to get Chongking or any* other free airbase in China, then advance to 1.Manila 2.New zeeland 3.Hawai 4.Brisbane
BLUE: Rest, if you can spare any, is used to get Athens, secure Balkans (kill A & B yellow crossed targets) then maybe get Ankara or mop after ag-A and ag-B
Both groups are to avoid any fight that is not absolutely necesary, to seize their goals with minimal loss using mobility rather than firepower. Make use of alies, save money for air attacks & paras
*cheper the better, not only in terms of fight: it all starts with Riga and Chong. they are only size 2 so its not very atractive for enemy: i was sitting inside Riga, next to two enemy generals that were only attacking Helsinki to north and those oil to south, leaving me alone. ignore them, they ignore you. same in china with those two ROC generals north of our base.
move 7, and as promised, advance of ag-A is in reach of Riga. Warsaw too, but its still early. Riga is always empty by move 8 or 9. Brussels in move 6 or 7, maybe i should go there instead? Riga seams easier to defend early on, Brussel is too exposed and we are poor.
move 8: Riga (free), Copenhagen (one strife + chute), Amsterdam (free, just jumped in) in the same move! total cost of conquer is 375 $. Even if i lose one or two of them in next move (didn't), i'd still have an airbase. Next move, 1st thing to build is as much AA as we can, and FA in Copenhagen to secure it. I gave it to my last EC.
ag-B, pictures are from move 16 and 18: was planing to send 7-8 MI there, but i was able to get trough only 3 MI and a tank (commander Europe, slower than them) before Soviets closed the gates. not willing to fight for every step, that small force will have to do. thats why 1st one there built forts, tried for Hong Kong (japan got there faster) than returned to Chongking just in time as others arived and forts are ready. to get fast game, after getting Chongking i have build a tank and gave it to Guderian: he was used from move 18 to move 26 to get Delhi and mop up in mongolia. Commander Europe sits in Chong, rule its airspace and clears way to Manila, then helps to mop up in Indochina. could be done without him, replace with 4-5 MI and move fast.
M18, ag-A
our guy in the middle, waiting for opening : Paris, Lyon, Brussel and Cologne within reach. wounded and peacefull he is minding his business and no one attacks him. it's all about timing.
M24, ag-B
move 24 finaly was able to jump in Manila and New Zeeland from there. now begins fight for Hawai and AUS. dark green lines is phase 1, light green (all navy) phase 2, cos I want to kill Brisbane with navy, not infantry trough AUS:
there is only one field to attack brisbane from land. both battleships and cruisers are good against walls and can survive more hits.
move 33-34, east: finally at Hawai! 1st to be built there is an AC under Yamamoto. again, its posible without: it would take one more AC and maybe one move more. used him from move 34 to 42.
M34 w
only thing is, i messed up UK, was 6-7 moves later that standard to get UK and start towards USA. S#!+
M44 w
first wave of paratroops from Washington. Usually done smaller but 10 moves sooner. S#!+ S#!+ S#!+
M47:
