My Game as Colombia!

So I joined an All In game as Colombia. Colombia finds itself in an advantageous position. It starts out with 3 cities, and has decent production of all resources.

Resource Production:

I first invaded Venezuela, as it looked like the player was going inactive. I was right; after a few early skirmishes with single units it looks like Venezuela is as good as mine. The capital will fall by day change.

Colombia's troop movements:

I'm going to produce artillery and motorized infantry, as most of the Central American countries have units like Militia and Anti-Air.

I'll also make a few Destroyers, as most of those countries start with a Submarine for some reason.

For buildings, I now have Level 2 Barracks and Tank Plant in Bogota, Level 2 Ordnance in Medellin, and Level 1 Barracks and Level 1 Naval Base in Barranquilla. I'm building Recruiting Stations in all my cities right now, as manpower might become an issue soon. I'm also planning to build an Air Base in a city I capture from Venezuela.

I joined Ecuador's coalition; it's the only South American coalition in the game so far. A third member, Paraguay, also joined Ecuador's coalition. The rest of South America doesn't seem active.

Ecuador and Paraguay:

My next plans are to invade Central America and the Caribbean (before anyone else does). Other than Cuba attacking British Jamaica, the Americas are not that active. If the US goes inactive, I can get to Mexico (which is only lightly defended).

The only other major wars going on right now are:

  • Germany invading and conquering Poland
  • Norway invading and conquering Sweden

This map is pretty inactive, unusual for an All In map.

I'll post updates here at least once a day, depending on how busy I am IRL.

Whose, mine or USA’s?

Mine was being produced in a city I took from Mexico.

I don’t know how USA got his.

Today may become one of the greatest days in the history of Gran Colombia. Today, our president commenced a diplomatic meeting with the leader of Australia. The two dictators agreed on a strategy: Australia would leave USA's coalition and join Colombia's.

Yes, I was able to talk him into it. As Argentina and South Africa are eating Egypt, Australia complains that "I can never get with active players" I told him that everyone in my coa was active, and we could end the game quickly if he joins. He agrees, and also says he wants to join in on the fight against USA. He wants to take out the Philippines and all the Pacific islands. He asked me to wait until he gets his troops into position, so I did. We will both be ready in a few hours, I am upgrading my AC, LT, AA and Cruiser units.

Currently, we are researching Level 5 Interceptor and Level 4 Submarine. Oil and RM counts continue to be low, so I will be restricted to mostly making ground units for now. I can lower my popularity all I want, as there's no AI nations around me.

Here are my total armies:

I got the reveal on USA again, you can see his armies in the following message. Can't post here as it will exceed the image limit.

Here is the Colombia-USA border. He now has a 2-stack (1 int and 1 NB) patrolling over one of my naval stacks, proving how noob-y he is. Argentina also caught another American (unescored) convoy stationed in the Mediterranean.

And here is the Egypt frontier:

I think they've actually managed to build at least one of every unit type. Impressive.

Invasion of USA has begun, so far so good. I think I might have caught him while he is AFK. I'm not really going to bother holding provinces in this war, as there's no other countries around for them to revolt to. I want to hopefully take out a couple of his core cities by next Daychange (about 23 hours from now), but there's a 7-stack on the western border that might prove to be a tough kill.

Argentina and Australia also attacked US positions in Libya and the Philippines, respectively. He seems to be focused on his economy more than his military, because he definitely has teh potential to rival Australia militarily.

My milsabs struck out today, unable to gain any intel, and one of them was caught. Hopefully he doesn't notice.

When you keep up that casualty ratio you'll be fine!

Aside from a single AC brigade lost overnight, the invasion is going fine. We've killed 15+ American units so far and will be capturing some key cities before daychange. Once I'm able to break down his main defense, this should be a piece of cake.

Egypt came back online, but is getting crushed.

Good news and Bad news today.

Good news: Colombian army has broken down (most of) USAs frontline. Aside from a known "super stack", the main threats have been eliminated. Also, Infantry L5 and mot inf L4 researched just finished, so I can upgrade my frontline mot infs when they are garrisoning.

USA has not had any captures or troop movements for at least half a day, so they might be going inactive.

Bad news: One of our 4-stacks of mot. inf. was lost to USA's super stack overnight, impacting my K/D ratio. Scouted the stack with tacs today, and it doesn't have enough AA defense to shoot down a nuke, so I'm gonna see what the ol' A-Bomb can do :)

Meanwhile, USA's casualties in the war are still several times higher than Colombia's.

Here's a map of the USA frontine.

The stack circled in RED is the enemy super stack that killed my 4 mot infs. Will be getting nuked.

The province circled in GREEN is where I'm building an Airbase. I want to secure the neighboring provinces before putting my tacs there.

The stack in BLUE is heading up to Denver. From my reveal a couple days ago, there shouldn't be any enemy units in its way.

The stack in ORANGE is heading to New Orleans. That city has been under bombardment for almost a full day, and likewise shouldn't be met with any serious threats.

My current KD ratio:

Egypt is all but done for, as only a 6 stack of HT in its capital delays its elimination.

Meanwhile, Australia finds a way to entertain his western armies by invading Greece.

P.S. Australia has less than a day left before he is eligible to join our coalition.

Don't leave units on the front line, unprotected, overnight. A better player in USA could have done serious damage to your army.

I already scouted the front lines and all the adjacent provinces were clear. Plus he has no tacs above level 1, per my spies.

Colombia is 4th on the Armies list, tied with USA at 10%. All signs point to USA going inactive.

Got a reveal on him again today. Almost no units in his cores, and all his cities are either lightly guarded or totally empty. I'm going to take as many cities as I can before daychange.

Australia is eligible to join the coalition before the next day change.
