Blitzkrieging the USA

Sneak attack the core cities in the East, from the ocean. Another force goes to Los Angeles, also by boat. If you go by land, the distances are too big, and they will smash you before you get out of Texas.

I moved my fleet up the west coast and to new orleans. Los angels only has one mech inf, but new orleans has 2 inf and a cruiser nearby. i started firing

Someone said that they have a tac in texas somewhere so if im lucky i can take that out quick

I am currently making mostly unarmored, but also some air and naval, especially subs (due to them having lots of ship)

The player doesnt seem experienced

Good luck. USA is a big country, and you're nowhere close to the head of the beast. You can still win if he's a noob and he messes it up. But it's totally hard to lose as the USA.

As my friend with a gargantuan foot said, the US is practically unconquerable, especially in real life. So much size, army size, spread out industry, and overall power makes them extremely strong! An experienced and active US play WILL defeat you unless you get Canada on board, and even then you’d probably lose… Use your skills, and bring them down with all you have!

Focus on the cities. Taking as many cities as you can, even if you can’t hold them, will slow down his resource and unit production. IIRC most of their double resource cities are in the northeast... maybe if Canada is active you could get them to help you.

This was my main point. You have to go after those core cities ASAP. Starting in the SW corner of the country doesn't make sense. If the US player has any clue about the game, he can nap for a day and still crush you without even trying too hard.

Attacking the US this way would be like starting on the USSR by attacking Kamchatka, and leaving Moscow to the end.

Yup. Just like you’d loop around to Arkhangelsk and then rush for Moscow, you gotta rush for their resource cities. Cripple them. Then there is a chance they will go inactive, which makes conquest trivial.

A fun fact about the USSR is that their double production cities are actually in the east! Vladivostok, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, all in the east! Weird since Leningrad and Kiev were far more important.

Ally with Canada and involve him in a two-front war.

In real life, the British Empire and USA retained war plans against each other into the 1930s. In most wargames, Canada and the USA both sent motorised forces to capture key regions (Seattle, Toronto notably) while the USA beseiged Newfoundland by sea. The USA's army was quite small in 1939 and it was by no means guaranteed to win, particularly if Japan got involved.

It’s a big if though. The US if mobilized like in 1941 could definitely solo Japan, Mexico, the UK and Canada all at once though, that industry and population just really went off. The US had 10x more people than Canada, 10x more ship production than Japan, and a bigger GDP than the UK.

Game wise, they would lose at the start. Alone the US would need at least a week to be able to fight all 4 of them at once and would probably still lose alone, it’s just too many enemies, and the American advantage is toned down, along with Japan actually getting oil!
