So I've been trying to get the pyramids using Japan in 1939, I easily conquer Europe and Asia (and I mean EASY, Asia take about 10-20 turns depending on crit rates, and Europe takes about 20-25), but whenever I attack America, it takes me forever to take them down. What happens is, I take over Canada, and the Pacific cities, and Denver, then I focus everything on Washington and NY, but for some reason, even using hoardes of heavy tanks, it takes about 30 turns to take those 2 cities, and about 25 tanks because they take a lot more damage than they deal. Now I'm wondering if there is any better way to take down these cities, because when I'm about to win at about 40 turns, I don't hit the under 65 turns because I struggle with NY and Washington.

I'm no pro at this game but try to start attack Canada as you attack Europe.

That's probably because you've never met Brisbane... Build land forts around NY and DC, get every hex in a range of 2 built, and let your MI stay and wait, maybe leave a spot for your Itagaki's offensive.

Oh, I don't really pay much attention to the general names, I do know that it would be kind of hard to do that because I use most of my gens on attacking Asia and Europe, then I have to run them through Dublin to get them to U.S. I only use the gen at Sapporo with a heavy tank to take over Canada, then bado on a rocket arty to take down the U.S. |

He is only tank gen for Japan (there may be 1 or 2 other gens on tank sometime, but those are too weak to be Worth caring) and decent, just below Vatutin (or just above, depends on who you ask).

What i usually do is send paratroopers up to take the city in Alaska, (I think it's Anchorage) then i send Itagaki and Ozawa to take down San Fransico and LA on west coast of U.S. Keep Itagaki alive and use him as your main tank force against Washington (focus all forces on Washington first) use artillery instead of tanks. Then paraspam/tank spam/Arty spam everything at New York. Everything else (city in Florida and Gulf of mexico coastline can be take easily)

I was just assuming that would be taken on the way down from Anchorage and on the way to Denver. |

Now I'm wondering if there is any better way to take down these cities, because when I'm about to win at about 40 turns, I don't hit the under 65 turns because I struggle with NY and Washington. The quickest way is to capture Edmonton and than drop some 7-8 paratroopers on the way to Ottawa. Next turn they go to Ottawa and you drop next 7-8 paratroopers on that spots. Repeat this some 2-3 times. It takes 3 turns in total to reach Ottawa after capturing Edmonton and not more than 2-3 turns to capture it. When you capture, if you have enough money and want to hurry, you can just bombard NY and Washington, if you're not in a hurry, just land paratroopers around Washington and NY (not close, as they will be shot by defence missiles) and after some 2-3 turns you will capture those cities. For this plan you need motorized infantry in paratroopers, but if you have already cleared some times 1939, you must have enough resources for that upgrade if you don't already have it. I believe this works with assault infantry paratroopers too, just it will take some more turns to go to Ottawa and to capture cities. In this case just attack Canada earlier. As I remember, you already have some ships and land units, which can be sent to attack Canada at the start of the game. |

The best way to tackle that is to invade Alaska, charge down to Vancouver, take the West Canadian "triangle", and the Californian cities. This should be done when you are about finishing up China. Push Itagaki, Koiso, and about 2-3 armored cars up to Sapporo, then invade with Nagumo and his two destroyers as cover fire. Then you can easily take the West cities. You should finish up the US and Canada by the time you've finished mainland Europe and are going to invade the UK.

Note: Brisbane is easy because you will never need move navy gens into Europe. So SHOW BRISBANE THE POWER OF THE IMPERIAL NAVY, COMMANDER! And do NOT forget about NewFoundLand. Europe, you first point of entry is via USSR so there is no problem here and the Germans will badly weaken everyone. |

I usually take the West Coast and either the New York or the New Orleans port, build a huge fleet of carriers, and bomb the shoot out of NY and Washington, starting with NY to annihilate Doolittle's 4 stars in Air Force + Strategic Bombing ASAP. Trust me, even with Level 4 air defenses, a fleet of 15+ carriers will bring down those cities in a few turns. In the meantime, send a small battalion of MI, Tanks and Field Artilleries from the West Coast to Denver, and from Denver to the East Coast. When you're done with this, you will likely be coming over to Europe by now, so you can reuse the fleet to destroy Ottawa and Toronto and then British cities (or French ones, if there's really any left). While you're building your fleet, do not forget about building a similar fleet from Japan for Hawaii and Australia as well.
