Papua New Guinea WAW Playthough

Papua New Guinea Day 1

After a long time of sitting on the sidelines and reading playthroughs, I finally decided to make an account and join in on the fun! I'm decently new as I haven't won a game yet, coalition or solo, so i'm hoping with y'alls comments I can propel myself to a victory! I joined a WAW game as Papua New Guinea which i've never played before. I've also never played as an island nation, but here's to an adventure.

Starting Tasks:

As soon as I joined I quickly checked the alliance board, as I like to surround myself with allies at the start. There were none at the moment so I decided to make my own coalition called "Asia/Oceania Powers". I quickly got requests from the Philippines and Korea to join. I let them both in. I started my research with Destroyers and Infantry, as well as cruisers, submarines, Naval bombers, Aircraft carrier, and AC. I plan to almost exclusively focus on my navy and air force for the first 3 or so days before starting on my land force.

Soon after I received request to join my coalition from South India, Ma-Clique, and Indochina. This was problematic as the coalition cap was at 5 members, but I found that Korea had already went inactive due to being invaded so I kicked him and let everyone else in. My coalition was now looking pretty good as Indochina can take the coast, Ma-Clique and South India can expand west, and the Philippines and I will have the pacific covered.

I started making naval bases in 3/4 of my coastal cities, and made aircraft factories in the remaining 2. I also build a tank plant and barracks in Tabubil.

I start by producing a destroyer per coastal city and also start producing naval bombers in my aircraft provinces. This unfortunately leaves my without enough resources to build industry and I am resigned to waiting overnight to accumulate resources.

I wake up and I have 3 new destroyers as well as 2 naval bombers. I decide to keep my destroyers separate instead of merging them into 1 stack as it will provide more visibility and they will be the base of a stack themselves. I plan to also add cruisers and carriers and build off of the destroyers. I merge my 2 naval bombers with my interceptor and set them to patrol my coastline near the capital.

As i'm low on resources I decide to send my troops to the Pacific islands. I want to just take the capital for a quick economic boost as well as a foothold into the deeper Pacific.

I check the newspaper and I'm pleasantly surprised to see that my coalition is leading at the moment. Of course it is Day 1 so it doesn't mean much, but it's nice to see nevertheless.

I also see Ethiopia saying something about a cannibalism crisis in his nation. As an irl ethiopian that just cracks me up.

When I check on my coalition members I see that Indochina has taken over Siam, and is preparing to make a move on Burma. North india is receiving pressure from British Odisha, and Philippines is going for Borneo. Ma-Clique is just chilling as am I. My only threat is the Australians who have formed their own coalition, but they should be busy taking over the rest of Australia. I will deal with Australia probably around day 3-4, but for now I'm just focusing on my economy and unit production.
