War Against the World, a Japan HWW Playthrough

pics please.

It's day 3 right now and here is a little report of Japan in Day 2:

Japan declares war on United Kingdom: British South china fleet (6 units) annihilated. Hong Kong and Mandalay has fallen.

Japan Declares war on the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics: Soviet Pacific fleet (3 units) has been annihilated. Vladivostok and Alexandrovsk cities have fallen.

Japan declares war on the Kingdom of Netherlands: Dutch New Guinea has fallen.

Japan declares war on Mongolia: Mongolia has fallen.

Japan declares war on Australia: British New Guinea has fallen.

Japan declares war on the United States of America: American expeditionary force in china has been defeated, American attachè fleet at Philippines has been (6 units) annihilated. Manila and Macau have fallen.

Japan declares war on France: French Indochina and Siam has fallen.

Total casualties this day: 1 infantry regiment defeated by Australian bombardment and subsequently Port Moresby Revolted.

the above has given me a VP count of 520 at day 3 and made me the largest in the map: Japan now has to face rising prices of materials and the increased consumption of the high level Japanese army and airforce.

All of the nations listed above are still sending troops to kill me, so none except Mongolia (he is defeated) are going afk on day 4.

Day 5, 680 points. I have been slowing down as of late. Tibet has been conquered, the Phillipine cities have been conquered, and Hawaii is being conquered. Additionally, I am pushing into India, Malaya, and the Dutch East Indies. This should get me back on track. I have been more careless lately, and have been losing more troops against the horde of troops facing me.

Earlier in the game, it was easy attacking every nation. Now, as my supply lines get longer and longer, and my foes increase and increase, my job becomes harder and harder.

There are 2 major threats to my victory. The first is the German-Franco alliance. The second is the Americas, who are allied together. Mexico, USA, Canada, Venezuela, Argentina, and Brazil are all still active. However, I think that America will go inactive soon.

Additionaly, 2 Mexican ships have been spotted between Russia and Japan. I will have to declare war on Mexico, but it's his fault it happened, not mine.

Day 4: I have 11% army and on par with the German army: only UK and Xinjiang went afk.

Last day I captured the 4 cities west of Chengdu, and invaded Xinjiang. I conquered the remainder of British possessions in the Pacific.

Currently i am moving artillery to bomb the communists, and to fire the xinjiangese. I captured Papua New Guinea completely and yeeted the Dutch off Indonesia.

Troops are now heading to Alaska, Wake & Sand Islands, Australia and India.

VPS count please

day 4: 620 VPs.

day 5: 710 points: currently i am in a very precarious state with the americans readying at honolulu to attack me, I am also having a hard time as somehow phantom units are killing my convoys in Australia, somehow the player comes active and golds cruisers to insta kill my convoys i believe. And cities all across my empire are revolting, however, by killing off The communists, i should be able to free a large army to go on the offensive against the Soviet union (not afk) and capture his important oil and goods city. I will also spam subs to move against the americans. Expect a sub 100 Expansion tomorrow.

Tokyo Fallen.. Morale low, but luckily Delhi, Capital of India will give a morale rise. It was a surprise invasion. 640 VPS day 4.

Day 5: 770 points. I have fini

shed of East Asia and I'm finishing Indonesia now. India is losing. Will head to the middle east next. Game Id: 4717420

Day 6, 780 points. Nepal and Bhutan have been neutralized. India has been half taken. Xinijiang is about to be completely conquered. Malay is being mopped up. The rest of the Dutch East Indies are being invaded. USA has gone inactive. It all looks good for me. However, Germany has launched Barbarossa, and their borders are very close to mine. I am readying for an invasion.

Day 7, 900 VP's.

This game has been going very well for me. However, I am about to begin my biggest challenge yet. Victory means the game is clinched for me. Defeat means that my path will get a lot harder. Germany is approaching my borders. Tomorrow, war will have to be declared.

In other news, the invasion of India has been going well. Xinjiang has been totally destroyed. The Dutch East Indies are finally being taken. Incursions into Australia are beginning.

day 6: 860 VPs, i dont how i expanded so much in VPs, but, i can do tell that i captured 2 capitals that have consolidated my assets. I have already landed in the mainland and took all cities in west and northeast australia. The Aussies are still active and there is a bug that insta kills convoys. That has killed too many japanese units. Currently moving south to take the remaining 3 aussie cities

India is afk, but the ai has send a large force to meet me in Bengal, however i am send troops from inner mongolia and planes to kick off the indians. I have already taken Calcutta and Madras.

In the Invasion of tibet and communist china i defeated Communist china and capped 3 tivetan cities to the east.

Now to the most important part.

The Americans, i fear are going afk, and to maintain my superiority i have Sent my australian megafleet from Bridgeport to Sand Island, Grouping up with other naval assets which i had brought up from the homeland and Alaska. The intended course of action is to defeat the Hawaiian fleet (12 units), capture honolulu and send the fleet to the west coast to bomb 2 fleets of 4 units and prepare for the naval landings, after which i have to bomb the rest of the west coast as all american assets are there.

Soviets are still active and ARE moving troops, they are currently facing me of in Xinjiang with their infantry, hence i am not on the move but: i have higher level units. The soviets are producing Heavy Tanks in their double resource cities in Siberia for which i have no counters as of now, artillery is too sparse and too far, however i am making a network of airstrips to send Attack bombers forward and producing more Attack bombers

My pictures got deleted, will update on Day 7.

day 7: 900 VPs. I have won against the americans and no one went afk..

However i have been slightly afk myself. Currently moving against the soviet and indians, i have completely exhausted my naval superiority and i now have to Produce ships in bulk against the new threat of Italy

The initial part of this game has been concluded. Now, I have officially ended Operation Spite. I will begin Operation Right very soon. The invasion of Germany.

Day 8: 1090 VPS. Invading Turkey now. Updating in the evening in detail.

day 8: 1040 VPs, i quit this race since i now have 2 more rounds to deal with.
