How to get started as South Africa
5 new nations were added to the 1939-Historic World War map. The nations were, Venezuela, Peru, Netherlands, South Africa and British Egypt. Today I'm going to show you the guide to South Africa. Hope you like it.
South Africa is a small country with a small military. But full of resources. All of the cores produce double resources, but Windhoek produces 1 food. So there is no shortage of resources, South Africa is capable to handle a giant military. So here are the steps.
1) Do NOT invade British or French Africa. Africa is a giant wasteland of nothing and if they bring their navy and army down your dead! (Unless they're inactive though). If you want, you can waste your resources on Portuguese and Belgian Africa, using your already researched Light tanks at armored cars, they're very fast, thus not waste your time in Africa and take it fast, instead of spending militia in the allied doctrine as they're very slow. So you got 4 options:
A) Invade South America through Argentina or Brazil.
B) Invade India, through Karachi, Bombay, Madras, Calcutta.
C) Invade the Dutch East Indies, Easiest option, for beginners as East Indies Indies are least defended at the start.
D) Invade Australia, It isn't impossible but can be done with a big enough navy you can bombard the coast.
E) Invade British Egypt, invade through RoW through UK, or France. Or just Invade by sea.
2) Don't waste money on industry, You don't need better industry as South Africa produces enough resources. Just focus on army.
3) Diplomacy is crucial in every games.
