ah i see hahaha, had some misunderstandings there. Anyways stayed up till 3am last night in a determined spirit, albeit vain. At 2am, after like 30 tries of south korea I still naively believed in a slogan I had used to keep me trying: They shall not pass!, i.e. I will not give in to misfortune. However, I literally crashed at 2 45am and gave up after a grand total of 50 tries, all restarted due to lack of luck. This morning did another 14 tries to no avail, and I officially raise the white flag lel, not going to attempt this accursed record anymore. In detail, either Guderian and Rommel spawned in seoul gets wiped out, bagramyan comes, taiwan is taken within 3 turns, thailand controls SEA within 3 turns, Japan loses its naval warfare, mongolia mobilises in turn 2, the city abive pyongyang is defended desperately, nanking is held on tightly with heavy tanks, kuznetsov gives up on tokyo and attacks seoul instead, the north korean general keeps activating cover, Chinese infantry generals refuse to go into the water but slowly destroy my generals on land, rokossovsky goes after me(yes, on my 20th attempt I conquered china but roko in the balkans just turned around with a few super heavies and utterly destroyed me), the soviets paratroop tokyo in turn 5 and many other rng based mishaps. Well guess my 33 turn record had one in a millionth chance of succeeding, and Im not going to waste my life dedicated to that probability HAHA, guess I'm giving up now and will try to conquest NetherFreek 's alternate records Yeah, bad luck. But it is not your only record, so I guess you can live with that. It is a mere game after all  yep  just sneak tried another 2 records cuz im a tryhard haha, but alas didn't come close. Need to break it asap tho before max comes back to improve his score |

Maybe that'll force the PRC gens knto the sea. |

The record where I got 33 turns did not require any bunkers at all where the chinese generals all went into the water, especially the artillery one(was it lin b?). I'll try this approach too, thanks ^0^ |

Strategically waiting for even a few turns may cost that, but I'll give it a go later |

Risky but new and promising. Thanks all on helping me  |

before I came to this forum I got a s korea score of 27 turns didn't take any screenshots though as I didn't even know I broke the World Record. Anyways from my vague memory since I got this record many months back, your strategy is on the right track, just need that small bit of luck. Your 1943 ussr no generals is impressive, pity I didn't submit my record of 15 turns, wished I was here sooner |

thanks netherfreek, vatutin will be sad to know that china and I have taken his 1980 and 1943 least cities records respectively!  p.s. I'll be mortified if chinaball takes my speed run records, will have to put aside 1943 ussr or 1950 skorea or alternate records to get them back |

 Broke my own record for least amount of cities in 1980, could’ve been lower if I didn’t accidentally take 4 cities. Germany did unusually well and didn’t die within the first 10 turns. |

 Can be lower, broke record again. The lowest possible I believe is 11 cities or you will be ineffective. To break the record: -Have all allies survive except UK and Spain, the UK and Spain doesn’t have to survive -UK survive for more than 15 turns -Spain survives longer than 20 turns -Germany survives -Allow allies to take cities -target their weak units first -target their generals and ensure their destruction quickly. Land Generals and units are first priority. -Can Abandon cities if you know your Allies can retake it quickly Suggested Nations: -China -destroy William by turn 3 and Wu R. by turn 5 -defend all starting cities, defense of Beijing is priority -target Taipei, HK, Wuhan, Pyongyang, and Seoul -Supply money to France and Germany -Send most generals to the West, one or two to the northeast. Send ship general to Southeast Asia then the Pacific to South America -Japan -Destroy the Japanese enemy infantry general before turn 3 -occupy all Japanese ports by turn 5 -occupy all Japanese cities and Midway by turn 6 -take Taipei when possible -destroy all enemy units in ships before they land -destroy William if he sails to Japan -destroy Wu R. , Preferably by turn 7 or 8 -help defend Chinese cities and attack Pyongyang and Seoul -take all Russian Far East Ports by turn 8 -Send Midway units to Hawaii then to South America -Give any allies at risk of defeat money, except UK and Spain(Unless they’re doing good) -Ensure that all Middle Eastern Allies are alive -Help the US if they lose 1-3 of these: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington D.C., and NYC. If they lose all four with no chance at regaining these, restart. |

thank you, you are destroying 1980 records here are you interested in speed runs tho ustyno92? I am interested, but not very good at it. My quickest 1980 conquest was 22 turns as the Soviet Union, my next quickest run is 30 turns. |
