WAW Playthrough: Goias

Disclaimer:

Its been 5 days that I am playing this but I have been unable to post due to exams :)

Day 1:

I choose Goias as it is in South America, which is the smallest continent and thus the easiest to unite early.

Also one of my favorite doctrines, Axis, is very common there.

It is also landlocked, so I will save money and resources on naval assets in the crucial first days.

I research Armored Cars, Infantry, Light Tanks, Motorized Infantry and Attack bombers

I build 2 barracks and 3 tank plants and level 1 industry in all my cities

I build a four infantry - 1 armored car stack in front of the capital of North Goias.

Day 2:

I wake up to find East Brazil invading North Goias with single units and attacking infantry with his interceptor.

What a noob!

I attack and capture the North Goias Capital and 3 of its 4 rural provinces.

I ally with Colombia who is an excellent player and conclude alliances with North Brazil and Maranhao.

South and North Argentina have been duking it out.

North Argentina is at war with an AI Bolivia too but loses quickly.

Both sides have taken massive losses. 10K+ in manpower

I declare war on North Argentina and occupy massive lands with one recently produced motorized infantry.

I research medium tanks

I invade Bolivia with another 4 infantry and an armored car.

It is being quickly overrun.

I produce 2 armored cars and 1 light tank.

I upgrade my tank pants and barracks to level 2, as I do to industry in my food city.

I also upgrade my steel and oil industry to 2 and then 3.

I have lost only 4 units so far against Argentina when I ran into a Doomstack.

Maranhao attacks East Brazil and takes losses.

Day 3:

I research mechanized infantry and upgrade my barracks to level 3.

I produce 3 medium tanks and 2 mechanized infantry.

I finish off more of North Argentina and Bolivia.

I prepare to attack Maranhao as he shows sighns of going afk.

Day 4:

I produce 6 medium tanks and 4 mechanized infantry.

I upgrade my food industry to level 3 and my oil and steel to level 4.

I research level 2 armored cars, tactical bombers, interceptors

I attack Maranhao and have fast victories.

I build an aircraft factory and begin producing attack bombers and tactical bombers.

Day 5:

I research naval bombers, destroyers and cruisers.

I continue to produce medium tanks and mechanized infantry.

I prepare to invade paraguay and sao paulo

I clean up all other foes and attack east brazil and destroy him.

Colombia has cleaned up north brazil.

Pictures coming soon

I have to say, this is not very exciting. The slowly growing list of dead countries is obvious and not worth discussing. More interesting would be, why are you doing what you're doing? What are your enemies building? Where are they going? How are they surprising you, and what are you in response? Tell us a story. Or don't bother with this, honestly.....

These days were written in one day as i had exams

First real update is today

sorry for the blandness

Day 6:

Ethiopia, with whom we had an understanding that he would join us as soon as we subjugated south america, joins the BLOQ coalition, composed of Indochina, Persia, Turkestan and Xinjang.

I communicate with him and demand an explanation.

He says it was to safeguard himself and apologises

I accept his apology.

Texas, leader of the United State coalition, breaks a compact not to cross the panama canal.

the US coalition contains Colorado, Texas, Quebec, Kansas and Kentucky

Texas declares war and loses a battleship and destroyer.

His fleet is being savaged by colombian naval bombers

The idiot doesn't use destroyers as escorts and only uses a few cruisers.

The world is teetering on the edge of war.

Its dominant powers are 4 coalitions

The BLOQ coalition

The US coalition

The Baikal Coalition with:

Romania

Sweden

Siberia

North Ural

and our coalition, The SONS OF VICTORY

it contains only me and Colombia

Our plan for action is:

I will finish off south america and land in africa while colombia marches north

I research battleships and submarines and build a naval base

I prepare to invade uruguay, south argentina and chile

Australia? (I frequently pick Queensland for similar reasons; the islands to the east make a sure defence)

Though Goias seems unique among South American nations in its power. In nearly half of the W@W games I've played, them and Upper Volta dominate their respective neighbours completely.

Aeroplanes are interesting toys but of no military value.

A pretty mechanical toy [...] the war will never be won by such machines.

I wish more people would actually use escorts of both kinds. Especially cruisers are also valuable as ships in themselves.

Day 8:

New Zealand has joined the coalition after being betrayed by his former ally indochina.

Big mistake, indochina is getting murdered.

North india and ethiopia are fighting multiple wars and request that slots be left open for them

Nigeria is a new player and is placed under our protection.

Texas attempts an unescorted landing of 40 units but loses them all

That's half his army!

Colombia builds carriers and retaliates by invading the carribean and landing in florida

Colorado declares war on us

we place spies in their cores and wreak havoc, both economic and military

Spy reports indicate that texas is building medium tanks

what a joke

Medium tanks. or pretty much any tank in Allies sucks.

I begin to build a massive submarine wall around south america and conquer chile.

Ethiopia seizes most of africa, making a landing there unnecessary.

i prepare an invasion force to land in texas and march through america.

An aggressive fire accident occurs in rangoon which almost causes war between North India and New Zealand, but it thankfully passes

I am researching medium tanks and attack bombers level 2

I have researched transport ship level 3

I have upgraded my tank plants to level 3

Soon we will land in North America, and rain hell on the United State traitors.

All of us are one after the other on the mightiest army list.

What do you guys think
