Are you looking for a new 1* country in 1960 that's not Iran and with a challenge? Belgium is the country for you!
Generals used: Badoglio, Konev, Goring, Rommel, Eisenhower, Manstein (#nuked)
Tech: most of my tech is between lvl 4 and 8 (tank and artillery are lvl 10 & 11) make sure you have lvl 5, 6, or 7 for paratrooper; YOU NEED PARA-MOTORIZED INFANTRY (PMI)
All resource wonders
Ion does 70 damage, so not too high or too low lvl
*sorry ahead of time for no pictures*
key things to note:
-if necessary, build bunkers / land forts / costal artillery to defend key points or stall the enemy
-ANALYZE!!! Look at what your allies and enemies are doing! How is the AI gameplay and positioning going to affect your movement and strategies? Make minor adjustments to accommodate your allies!
-"Be aware of your surroundings." -Pokemon Go
Objective: Conquer the world as Belgium
Phase 1: Building the Big Belgian Brawn at Brussels
You start off with a field artillery (F.A.), a heavy tank, and a commando with a weird EC dude on it. Put Badoglio on the F.A. and send him down with the heavy tank to take Zurich. Yes, Zurich; you need the resources!
With the EC spam light / assault infantry from Brussels and create a wall of infantry close by Berlin; stall the Russians with them.
Do the same after you take Zurich.
Phase 2: The Struggle
Spawn a rocket artillery (R.A.) from Brussels, but don't put a general on it! After the round ends, if it's still there, move it out of the city and put your best artillery general on it (mine was Konev).
By now, after a few rounds from taking Zurich, there is a big possibility that Saudi-Arabia, Turkey, and Greece are dead, and the Balkans and the Middle-East are riddled with HUGE amounts of Romanians, Russians, Iraqis, Iranians, Indians, Egyptians, and Indians. Do your best to try to hold these off while holding off the Russians at the north. Keeping using infantry from Brussels (no Commando!), but you can spawn armored cars / MI from Zurich now. !THIS IS THE HARDEST PART OF THE CONQUEST! If you find yourself being pushed back and Germany defeated, start over. (You aren't too far in the conquest to freak out about starting over.) Even I had to restart twice from this step!
Phase 3: Expansion
If you manage to get past the onslaught of commies from the East, good job; you're in good hands (don't come after me Allstate; copyright! idk lol). Anyway, push on towards the Balkans and take the nuked cities (thx Britain :3). Keep spamming light units in these cities. Send troops with fast movement (armored car and MI) from Brussels and Zurich to the Eastern front. By now the Russians have several units up in Scandinavia; let Britain deal with it, but give a few units as support. The Russians leave their Southern flank mostly open (except for Bargaryman ) which make it easy to take Poland, Kiev, and Minsk. Taking Warsaw is a must (British nukes love Warsaw). Deploy stronger units, like tanks and commando, but keep spamming light infantry from Brussels.
Phase 4: The Storm is Growing!
Ok so by now you should have a steady income of money and industry. Spawn Goring on MI in Zurich and PRAY PRAY PRAY he doesn't get nuked (if so, sorry
RIP). After that, make sure that you defend your capture capitals (Bucharest and Budapest, Warsaw, Istanbul, and Sofia) and Minsk well. Spam light infantry in the cities further from the frontlines and artillery units at cities close to the fronts.
Phase 5: STRIKE!
Nuke and take Moscow. Enough said; the Russians aren't to be bothered with too much now. Europe is mostly in your hands. Take Riga and Copenhagen (if the British haven't); these shouldn't be too difficult. But anyways, you can spawn heavy and super tanks in Moscow now with no worries of being nuked! Yay! Remove the land forts by Minsk and spawn Rommel in a super tank and take him down to liberate Stalingrad and Ankara. Turn your focus onto the Balkans area. March several tanks from Moscow and other cities to help free the Middle-East. You should be making a nuke every few turns by now. Don't forget about the Ural mountains though; keep a couple infantry forces there to take Saratov and Yekaterinburg and defend those cities. Drop a nuke (or the bomb
) on e Baghdad. Take the captured Saudi-Arabian cities with infantry from Ankara and Greece and tanks from Istanbul. Riyadh is a bit harder to take since India usually camps a heavy tank there. Take Tehran, but be careful; some Chinese forces and a few Chinese commanders are coming, so be more prepared to fight them in Eastern Iran.
Phase 6: Belgium > Russia
By now your Belgian empire has an output of more than 1000 resources in money and industry per round. Use your air force to hit Alexandria and paratroop into the city. Move some forces down to take Cairo and defeat Egypt. Mop up Russia in Africa. Push through to India, spawning super tanks in Tehran. If you read one of my other threads titled "Thimayya" (you probably haven't) then good luck with taking New Delhi. The land forts are annoying, and Thimayya hits like Blamey in Brisbane. It will take a while before you capture the city. After that, capture the rest of India's cities.
Moving up North, make sure you take the tier I Russian city in the north, called Smoskahdnsk (something like that :3). Mongolia will be sending troops West, so spam a few super tanks from Moscow and tanks from Yekaterinburg to counter them.
Phase 7: Chinese Troll ;D
China loves nukes. *_____* I put Eisenhower and Manstein on two super tanks and they got nuked to death.
Just take Ulaan Baatar.
Phase 8: The Belgian Strikes Back!
After defeating India, it's time to strike China! They probably defeated Japan long ago and are in Manila and a few units in Canada and the U.S. Split your forces from India and take some up to Chongking, Almaty, and Dihuna. Hit Thailand hard with your super tanks and R.A. Use Bangkok as infantry spam. Move your super tanks and R.A. up to help take Chongking. Be careful; China will nuke your generals and tanks. They also have a general in Wuhan on F.A. whom you need to be prepared to deal with.
Phase 9: HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH
It's time for NUKES! you probably have several nukes in your arsenal by now. Take Wuhan and Use Chongking as an artillery spam city. TAKE PEKING or NANKING (city next to Wuhan I forget)! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! You need a city to drop your 4 a-bombs, 2 h-bombs, and whatever amount of anti-bombs on China and North Korea! Or else you will have a Phase 2 in China except with nukes and tanky infantry generals! After my evident rage-pleading and your nuke-dropping, paratroop into Shanghai, Pyongyang, and Seoul. Hongkong shouldn't be too difficult to take. After stocking on more nukes, blow up Changchun, Nanking / Peking (again, I always mix these two up), and paratroop into these cities. Deploy some more super and heavy tanks. Missile and nuke Khabarovsk and take the last Russian city.
Phase 10: Asian Liberation
This is the final step of the Belgian Empire! After taking all of the Chinese and Russian homeland, China still has Manila and all of Japan. Repeat the nuke process in step 9 and paratroop into Japan. Make sure you replace your PMI with defensive units like F. A. and Super tanks, because China has a lot of units and several ships hanging out around Tokyo and Sapporo. After liberating Japan, mop up any remaining Chinese units in cities. (For me, China defeated Australia, which was fun for me to retake! haha.....). Take the final enemy cities.
Victory.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You did it! You survived both the communists and my bad jokes and humor! The Belgian Empire can't thank you enough!
I took 83 turns as Belgium.
I hope that this thread helps you guys out a lot! Playing as a one star country in 1950/60 is challenging, especially if you can't find a great strategy with the country. Hopefully Belgium can stand with Iran as recommended 1*'s for 1960.
This was also my first official guide
