Liberia playthrough

Joined a game hoping to join as Luxembourg.

All of them were taken so I joined one. Took one of the last I think, only an hour left. I had a choice between Paraguay, Uruguay, any number of Central American countries, Siam, Liberia, or Portugal. I chose Liberia because it is surrounded by one or two great colonial powers and as such is limited in its expansion, but those powers have tiny forces in its proximity.

My plan:

- Invade French Africa and take Ouagadougou.

- Continue to expand in Africa and make it worthless for him to retaliate.

- ????

- Coalition victory :D

Day 1:

Quickly established foreign policy. Allied with Honduras, a gateway to alliances with Guatemala and Luxembourg (who is doing the challenge). Brazil is a noob. Turns out France is only lvl.44. Britain is lvl.101 and was willing to ally, and I have applied to his coalition. Oddly Mongolia was VERY quick to open relations -- an encounter from an older game, perhaps?

Researching light tanks. I plan on armoured cars and possibly tanks, motorised or mechanised (I am allied) infantry with air once I secure rare deposits, may others be so good as to give feedback?

Aeroplanes are interesting toys but of no military value.

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

As of 20 hours after the last post, the last of Liberian resistance fell to British Egypt. Our grandiose plans for a pan-African Union came to nothing. Our allies will continue the struggle but IDK how that is going.

That was fun and I learnt that I do not like speed rounds particularly. But I will be joining a World at War again sometime soon.

;( it was a speed round? map: All Nations: All in?

Maximum is 2-times speed I guess as a small country like Lybia, but better to play it normal!

Good luck next time. No need to hate speed maps in general.

Where's the honour in that? My aim was domination or nothing.

You’re in a coalition. Most countries exile to their allies if defeated and return back home once it

is retaken. I wouldn’t see anything wrong with survival lol. But who am I to talk? You either have to have to Liberiate the world in its whole, or leave it, biding your chances for next time…

That's like being France, and saying you won the second world war.

Important distinction that, liberate vs Liberiate.

I mean if you count free France and exiled French soldiers then technically they did lol

Yes but the "big 3" British Empire, USA & USSR contributed far more meaningfully to the Second World War (including hosting and arming many Free French forces)

True but with what free France had I thing they pulled their weight. That being said France itself did not…
