Help! 1939

Everything is a level 5 expect for suplies, anti aircraftguns and the row below (1 level ion cannon)
 

Try to knock out Peking, then, Shanghai-Nanking.
Followed by Wuhan-Hong Kong & Ulaan Bator.
From here your Western fronts are stabilised.



Now, prep units in Sapporo for an invasion of Alaska. Do so with the RA gen available on Japan (he is either Koiso or Hata). Invade Alaska once you have enough forces & blitz through North America.
Note: Midway or Pearl Harbour will not occur so send your navy out on the offense.


Back to mainland Asia, send MI to cross the vast empty lands of Siberia & Central Asia.
Your invasion of Southeast Asia should be going very well.




Continue advancing at a rapid pace & vióla, Japan 1939 completed in 65 turns or less!

I swear it was easier the first time I did it at low HQ lvls.

Then when I replayed it, there's a weird jump in difficulty.


Or maybe the Illuminati/ET is trying to confuse me.

Have you tried Bulgaria pretty good just blitzkrieg Greece then got in the middle east and get long range artillery

Also in WC4 its the same just dont declare war on all of them just one at a time

Sounds logical now that I think about it. On turns 1 & 2, I'll deploy Govorov & Soviet EC (arty).

The trick is to push hard and when your forces are depleted, push harder.

I'm not kidding even a little. For example, when I played a recent 1939 with Spain I sent two destroyers and a wounded light infantry to the Gulf of Mexico to capture the oil rig and undefended port there. A few turns later I started bashing Houston with a battleship. Not long after I had captured Houston and was working on Miami. I accomplished the conquest of North America with two DD's and one Light Infantry that would have died in its next attack, and only spent money in the Western theater when I had bought everything I wanted for the East.

And this example sheds light on the real trick to beating the 65 turn limit: Attack Where The Enemy Is Weak!

In that same game, I attacked hard across Africa, and when I got to Jerusalem I turned North into the Soviet Union, well behind the generals which were hammering Germany. This force simply visited the cities which had already taken a beating, and I was able to scoop them up and relieve the pressure on Germany while gaining the footholds and economic boost I needed to conquer Asia.

I have beaten the 65 turn limit with USA, Germany, Italy, and Japan.

USA: Send the two East Coast generals to Spain immediately and support the British in eliminating the Atlantic U-Boat Force. One Rocket Artillery, one Heavy Tank, and one Carrier is enough to defeat Spain. Meanwhile, destroy Taipan while spawning Submarines to take out Japan's navy. The Japanese islands should take under 20 turns to capture, and your excess forces can then rush across Asia to support the Soviet Union while your Spanish and African forces turn North into Germany's undefended South.

Germany: Take the many small countries quickly. Fall Gelb is good practice for this. The French Conquest should leave you with enough leftover forces to attack England. Russia will be pressing, but break England first and fast. Lock down Soviet Rocket Artillery with Light and Assault Infantry and then bypass them. Gobble up the Soviet conquests, then their starting cities, and Germany becomes unstoppable.

Italy: Concentrate on Africa first. Let Germany take down Yugoslavia and Greece, but be ready to killsteal and capture the cities, either with paratroops or Armored Cars. With Egypt in hand, Africa becomes a matter of convenience, easily defeated with Mobile Infantry. But from Egypt, the center of the Soviet Union is there for the taking. Grab a few cities and soon you'll be in Finland, from which both Moscow and London can be taken.

Japan: I've saved the easiest for last. Japan is set up to take some easy cities from China, but the real fight is in the other direction. Defeat the USA in the Pacific with subs and save your carrier for reducing the US West Coast defenses, and you can land Light Infantry in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Vancouver, from which the conquest of the most poorly defended continent can be launched. By turn 30 you should be beating down Brisbane in Australia with about five carriers, (and a wounded Light Infantry three hexes away, waiting to occupy!) The fight across Asia should be in full swing, with the capture of Yekaterinburg and Moscow. Don't bother sending tanks or Artillery, they won't make it to the fight. Send Armored Cars and Mobile Infantry, and keep at least three cities producing unbroken strings of them, but don't stop longer than it takes to capture a city. Meanwhile, push your Indian conquering force into Arabia and Africa. You will probably be sending attack forces to England from North America before your Yekaterinburg Go-Carts reach Helsinki.
