I saw some request on 1960 Saudi Arabia conquest guide so here I make one. This is my first time making a WC3 guide tho. 
First, let's look at why and why not Saudi Arabia.
Pro
- Better economy that other 1 star country. (2 cities)
- Start with 2 generals
- There are many cities nearby to take
- On NATO side so no need to travel around the globe to capture cities in the middle of nowhere
Con
- NATO side are generally weak against WTO
- You are loved by many. Egypt, Iraq, Iran, India, Thailand, Soviet, and China will all come greet you at your door.
Warning: Saudi Arabia is not an easy country to finish 1960 (read the line above) but it has potential to finish the conquest quick. Might consider Iran as an easier alternative. european-war-4.boards.net/thread/250/1960-1star-country-world-conquest
First, focus all of your troops to attack Baghdad. Since, you have Saudi 2 generals, 3 artillery and a heavy tank, taking the city shouldn't be difficult. You may ignore all Iraqi troops because they will disappear when Baghdad is captured. Once, you have Baghdad, the next target will be Tehran but you probably need to send some troops to defend your western border. On the west, you 'll be annoyed by Egyptian paratroopers and a Soviet super tank. In Iran, do the same thing as in Iraq, focus on taking Tehran since Iranian troops will surrender when you capture its capital. If you have enough steel, you may consider building some land forts along the blue lines because these are where your enemies are coming from.
Warning: Do NOT get too close to Turkey otherwise Bagramyan on super tank will come get you instead of go taking Ankara.
Note: Tehran is crucial because it allows you to build super tank and nuke. You should build nuke whenever you have enough resources.
Keep you eye on Ankara, recapture it when the city is taken by the Soviet. You might need a tank, motorized infantry, and some artillery here. The Soviet should be weakened by now. Also, if Muhammad (the general on Field artillery) is still alive, send him to siege Cairo. It is likely that the AI is dumb enough to have Nassir sitting in Cairo eating your cannonballs. But attack Egypt is much less important than taking Ankara so if your troops and resources do not allow, then just play defensively on the west.
Note: If Ankara does not fall into Soviet hand and you cannot take it for your base of operation then you might consider taking Stalingrad instead. Stalingrad has lv3 airfield which allow you to nuke.
Now you secure your western front, move your focus to your annoying friends in the east. Send your main troops to take New Delhi. Super take is important because you will face a lot of infantries from China and India. At the same time send a small diversion group to Mumbai. A heavy/super tank and few infantry should be enough. When you defeat India, send some fast moving units or paratroopers to take Bangkok and make Thailand surrender.
Now that your east and west fronts are secured, it's time for a break. Just, play defensively, accumulating resources, and build nukes. Meanwhile, you may take this time to clear Soviet troops in Africa. The Soviet there are weak so you probably need only 3-4 Motorized infantries for a quick mop up. Just chill out and enjoy this phase until you have 6-7 nukes and 3000+ gold.
Now the pay back time begins. Starting from Ankara, Nuke+paradrop on Stalingrad, Kiev, Minsk, Riga, and Moscow (orange star = nuke). You probably need 2 nukes for Moscow. If you have spare gold or nukes then continue taking Soviet cities with lv2+ airfield. This is to seal off the Soviet air capability. Then you may consider taking some time to secure these newly captured cities and build more nukes. Now you have a big economy and many nuke producing facilities.
This phase is to continue mopping enemy' cities with lv2+ airfield using the same nuke+paradrop strategy. You may ignore smaller countries since they have no capability to make any real threat. Also you can send PMI (para-motorized-infantry) to mop up small Soviet cities in the central Asia and to the east.
When most of the Europe are under your control, come back to Asia. Your next major target is Chongqing. Here, the AI will probably spam paratroopers so you may consider sending a group of super tanks from Tehran to clear the out. Chongqing is a springboard for taking other Chinese cities.
From Chongqing, the next target is Shanghai for its missile launching platform. You may take Nanking first for dropping nuke or go directly to Shanghai, your choice. From Shanghai, nuke+paradrop Peking, Changchun, Pyongyang, Hongkong, Khabarovsk, Manila, Seoul, and Japan (if taken by the Chinese). Now all your major enemies are done for, all you have left is to quickly mopping small cities.
Hoorey!!! Conquering the world with Saudi Arabia in 1960 is not impossible!!!
