So the alien conquests with 3 star and 2 star countries are fairly easy if somewhat laborious but I am wondering if anyone has managed to win with a 1 star country (without high level ion canon)?
I have tried with Spain but it seems to take to long to clear out Spain by which time your allies are dead and you're faced with a massive onslaught.
I might try Saudi Arabia or Iran but has anyone else had any luck with a 1star country?

Haven't tried a 1 star country. I would say that Iraq or Saudi are the best 1 star countries. Probably Saudi though, because the aliens will focus on Iraq first, buying some time.

For 1 star country in 1975, me best bets are Egypt and Thailand. These 2 countries have level 3 industry (can build rocket artillery) and relatively easier locations. Spain and Iraq are too close and are likely to be targeted early. India and Saudi Arabia are nearly impossible because they can produce only infantries.

Nothing like diving into the hardest parts of the game right away  It's interesting to note 1 star does not automatically mean harder at least not in every case,and that's probably true in most era.So in some cases a 1 star country might be easier to play than a 2 or even 3 star country. Anyways my guess Iraq and egypt,aliens seem to give a few turns before engaging you. |

Iraq was my first ally to fall when I played Britain. Next was France when I stole Lyon and got them wiped out ( I needed it more than they did! )

I completely agree, especially in the 1950s and 1960s campaign I actually found the 1 star conquests to be the easiest due to fairly strong allies. That said I think alien conquests are completely different. Following kanue's advice I've started a game as Thailand which is in the balance at the moment. I'll let you know how it ends! |

So Thailand didn't end well for me - after the aliens knocked out Soviet Union I was overwhelmed having struggled to hold Shanghai.
So I tried Egypt after that and have finally finished it!

That had to be pretty hard to pull it off,but you know this is a "conquest show and tell" forum, we always wanna see it all. Pics&guide or it didn't happen Number of turns for victory,what generals were used,how they were used,what was the battle plan..well you know,the works ! |

So this means we finally broke the game?
I mean this community found a way to rush 1960 with 1 star countries. I'm just waiting until someone says "Hey guys look at this 27 round 1975 conquest"
and someone else be like "I did 23 rounds"
And so on
