Hmm, you should amass an army to storm Rio and Fortezela then devestate the last city by air.

Nobunaga Oda I didn't have to. I sent a single air general to Dakar then chain bomb+para Fortaleza and Rio from there (as written it in my Cuba 1950 guide). But it's still a lengthy process bringing the general and naval force to capture Dakar.

If you don't have it, you can just throw some 4-5 paratroopers from nearest airport you have. Bombing Fortaleza without gen can be quite expensive, but if you do it in the end, money is not a problem, if in the middle, you have enough time in reserve, so you can just drop some partroopers around it. It takes more time, but is much cheaper. |

Max Otto von Stierlitz It's not really lengthy in terms of taking it, but rather the process of transporting heaps of slow-moving troops across the Atlantic from North Brazil, not to mention the Destroyers spams from Portugal and Spain. And there is no other airport near Dakar other than Fortaleza, so it's kinda the only choice to bombard Brazil without having to amass force from way up North America and sending them through the sluggish Amazon area.

Next time, prepare a seperate group in advance to take Dakar (but be sure to upgrade your air tech to PMI plus one more range extension after that (AVOID the upgrade to Para-commandos though). It's similar to preparing yourself to take that dinky little island north of Quebec in 1939 or the infamous Brisbane, the world's most stubborn fortress. Although using Cuba as a stepping stone to move against Fortaleza is feasible after or before the capture of Eastern USA. One last possible option to get rid of that Brazil as the last country.. Auto-play. Just set down your phone and ignore it for an hour. The AI should make somewhat okay progress toward eliminating the Brazilians if you aren't too concerned about turn amounts. Be sure to pause it after an hour to see if you have to step in and finish the job or not. |

There is unnamed airport in Africa close to Dakar. In case it's taken by your allies, you can send there a group of PMI from the nearest airport you can capture. |

Max Otto von Stierlitz, the only two airport I can see that are near Dakar are Seville in Spain (which would be much more troublesome to capture at early game) and the unnamed town which probably is Bamako in Mali. By the time I have enough resource and start attack Brazil Dakar has long fell to the Soviets, so from Cuba and North Brazil hitting Dakar directly would be the fastest way.

So you mean it's already too late to capture Dakar as it's captured by your allies? Than what we're talking about. If you don't capture it faster, there's no other choice. As I remember when I played 1950/1960, I captured Brazil with just paratroopers without sending there any additional forces. Possibly, I had to send someone to capture Dakar not too late, but I don't remember, that capturing Dakar was a big problem. |
