Hi all,
This is a guide for completing a 1 star conquest in world 1975 - 40000 industry 15000 energy and 600 medals. The main strategies for defeating the aliens are detailed in this excellent thread by Kanue - european-war-4.boards.net/thread/437/kick-alien-arse . The tactics used in this guide are largely based on those detailed by Kanue - in particular the heavy focus on artillery.
Generals used
- Govorov
- Leeb
- Chung
- Manstein
The artillery generals are crucial in the beginning. Manstein was only used limitedly and never made it out of Turkey. Chung died in the first wave but Leeb and Govorov survived and were also useful conquering Europe.
Tech Tree:
I also have all extra resource wonders.
Starting Position
You start with Alexandria and Cairo. Cairo has a level 3 factory and you start with a heavy tank and field artillery. The initial focus is on the middle east and Turkey. Immediately start building rocket artillery and send them towards Medina using your artillery generals on the first ones you build. You should take Medina fairly easily but by this point the aliens will have sent 8-10 UFOs to Baghdad and this is the most critical part of the whole conquest. Using your artillery generals and the reinforcements that should be coming from Cairo you should be able to destroy this first wave.
Whilst difficult, once you've actually destroyed it this gives you a good opportunity to take other cities as the aliens will have left a number of cities unprotected. You should easily be able to take Baghdad then Ankara and Tehran. At some point the aliens will also take Riyadh and you should recapture this quickly.
Phase 2 - Expansion
By now with the number of capitals you've taken you'll have a steady income. Next target is Athens and Istanbul which may also be left unguarded. After taking these keep spamming RA and drive into the Balkans and eastern Europe. At the same time spam RA from Tehran towards New Delhi and Asia. You may face the occasional wave of aliens as your allies are knocked out but by now you should be well equipped to deal with them. Continue driving through Europe in the west whilst driving through southeast Asia in the east. From New Delhi the next target is Bangkok.
Phase 3
Once you have taken Bangkok start spamming RA from there and drive north towards Chongking. By now moots Europe should be falling fairly easily and you should be able to start building nukes once you have taken Lyon and Minsk. The nukes will help make conquering Britain easier and you should make sure you're building a stockpile of nukes for once you get a foothold in the far east. Once you have taken Moscow start spamming RA from there and drive east with the target being Yekaterinburg and eventually Novosibirsk.
Eventually you'll take Chongking and then drive east to take Nanking which has a level 3 airport and you can use this to nuke Shanghai. Once you've taken Shanghai then the rest of Asia and Japan is in say reach o your missiles and should fall within a few turns. In the west once you've taken the UK and Spain drive south to take Dakar and the rest of Africa. You should also have drive south from Cairo to take the two other cities by now.
Phase 4 - Mop Up
Now is the boring part of every conquest. You have the Americas and Australia and the Islands to take which is time consuming and tedious. From Europe drive west to take Cuba and then from Cuba south to take Bogota. You should be able to reach Fortaleza from Dakar with airstrikes and then you can use the airfield there to conquer the rest of South America.
From Japan take Alaska then drive south to Vancouver. Use Vancouver to take the rest of the western coast of Canada and US.
From Bangkok spam RA and move to take Darwin and use this as a base for taking Australia.
This should leave you with the eastern US coast to take. Drive north from Cuba and take Washington. From here nuke the other cities drop paratroopers in and victory is yours!
