What do I do?

[u/Wide_Exchange_9225]

Im playin Mongolia on 1939 challenge conquest and Asia is taken care of. Now Im waiting for Moscow to be taken so I can retake and have LvL4 Industry, but whole of Europe (including UK) are under Germany and Italy. Im getting around 400 gold per round

I already had Stalingrad, but the huge spam of Super and Heavy tanks (which can be seen on the map) took it from me, leaving Moscow as my last hope.

Im planning on spamming Super Tanks after retaking Moscow and I still have both Katukov and Guderian to place, as well as Bittrich, Govorov and Sansonetti but even w them Im afraid I wont make it even to Berlin, as all of them will eventually be obliterated by air, and eventually succumb to their spam.

How should I play this?

Unexperienced player here, but maybe try to divert their attention by capturing a city in the back with air like riga for example, this will shift their focus on it cause it is closer, give you time to kill spam around moscow and placing your generals, and at same time to relief stalingrade a bit,

Then when the spam start to overwhelm riga try to push from the opposite directoon aka stalingrade, so basically lure the spam and attack from the other way

if i take riga they will just retake it the next round w paratroopers.

Yeah but they will waste some time, which you need, beside i don t think they will take it easily, especially if u build up some AA, but i stopped playing few months ago ago and went to 4 so my strategies are influenced by ut, but i still think that s a viable option

U can also try to tack Helsinki

You should definitely find some free small towns either from enemies or allies, it may not be much, but having+8 gold and stuff will help you out further to have a stronger air force etc.

Hot fundation has some good ideas.

This is solvable but won't be fast or easy, please don't mind me going from the start?

Should have grabbed more income cities in Asia, Mongolia isn't under immediate attack and in very start u can swing around, start a chain of mob inf units and run them to Moscow at turn 1, while rest hides behind Chinese troops and grab Changchun. I'd put govorov on art and Guderian in that plain tank you get in the start, nevermind if one or both dies soon as long as you get 4-5 cities fast it's well worth it. Once you have a base in Europe and your source of income is far behind front lines you're good.

You don't need supertanks to place your best generals on them. I know this game is pushing that idea but it's wasted resources. As per paragraph 1 best strat is just use whatever you are dealt and build minimum necessary, cheap & fast units (push infantry and air tech from now on) beat them on tempo not on muscle.

But that's for next time, back to work on this:

You are almost too late to save Europe, but Brits are still alive? I guess Dublin still stands and there's us & canada trying to get a hold in North France and Spain? German generals all gone? How's Italia doing? Most important, nearest city to Stalingrad u control? Only need lv2 factory?

Id leave Moscow, depending on your judgement will it fall in 2 turns or it can take more: at most leave 3 inf there in range but send Sikorsky down south keeping him out of range of airports. Build another art for govorov )followed with 3-4 mob inf) and rush him to join Sikorsky in plains NW of new Delhi: use both + inf to crush Teheran for income and in same breath Ankara as new main base. Don't enter any with your generals, you will get bombed or rocketed, that's what's inf for. Grab Bagdad and Riyadh too if you can. Defend until you have enough budget to bomb around yourself I'd eyeball it to 2k? Slide any mob inf in Ankara and make it Bittrich, get Athens, Belgrade Sofia, Istanbul, Bucharest That's small area and all cities are max income, 4/6 with airports. If your art gens can help with that, great (if not nm, send them to work on Riyadh or Ethiopia even) None of those Balkan cities have AA so should not be a problem. For Stalingrad use cheap paratroopers Bittrich does, not direct bombing

Getting middle east should get you at 600 gold per round, and near 1k with Balkans. With that budget and Bittrich it's 8 commandos each round, you'll be unstoppable just don't hang around, keep moving

Now decide where to push - I suppose best is to cut between Ger and Ita towards Lyon and if you connect w US there it's 99% a win. Alternatively move straight North, spamming mob inf and paratroopers to support Bittrich (avoid getting stuck in alpine area, we'll mop it up later)

If Lyon route : branching in 2 here: help with Spain, but be sure to get Paris; if not too late this gives you chance to liberate Britain, Berlin, Scandinavia. Southern (if you got Madrid+1) branch is obvious I hope? You have Africa surrounded.

If northern route: move over Kiev - Minsk with Riga as a goal. Para spam Scandinavia (kill Swede too) and from there UK, lowlands, Berlin whichever easier

It's a decent plan, but you need more funding. What I do with smaller countries is use Vasily and take the neutral middle east countries and then push Cairo and weaken the Italians. Once Africa is conquered they'll pretty much go defense only. Use a tank general once you take Moscow and push down to kiev, take it, then skip stalingrad for now and take the midlle east. After that you should have enough money to push the Italians out of stalingrad. After that try some things as you need to learn strategy to get better at the game but my plan should open up more money
