Either WaW or American Homefront, I picked American Homefront because I do better at it than WaW but WaW is funner, AH strategy is, pick a country with good positioning, dominate, its pretty easy as there are new players, but there is always a couple good players, make a coalition with some of the actual active players that are doing well. After you have been dominating either north or south, there is always another team that you will have to beat to win. If you are in the north watch out for Colombia and Venezuela as they do good most times.
Countries never to pick: East/West Montana, East/West Texas, I have never seen these countries do good, Texas is too busy fighting each other and then they get invaded by Alabama or Mexico. They also both have terrible positioning.
Good countries: North Quebec, Maine, Colombia, Venezuela, Mississippi, maybe South Cali if played right. These countries all have better doctrines than the others, I have seen these countries dominate everytime they have actually been active, Mississippi may not have amazing positioning but it has a great doctrine and can easily gobble up the countries around it. Maine just easily dominates early with it being on the coast and having the ability to make battleships and having an easy 30 vp right next to it, then after taking those out easy to can easily take out slow, South Quebec, North Quebec will be an issue but just out-produce and you should be fine. Colombia can either take out the ai, which takes a while or take out Venezuela, an easy Comintern country right next to you, most important thing with Venezuela is form good relations with Colombia and then bomb Cubas coast and take em out, forming an easy way to get to Florida and the U.S.. North Quebec you form a strong military and naval presence at first and then easily take out all nations in your path.
With this game having a strong doctrine is vital because there are gonna be peopl that are gonna have no way to counter you so getting those first easy points are vital to your victory.

Nice strategy I like the same countries as you. WaW is fun but I always get beat out by sweats.

I voted for HWW because the smaller nations actually have a chance in many cases. I have enjoyed playing SAf, Tibet, Persia, Netherlands and any Aus. I've never been able to sign up for a major power in this game, though. Every time it is listed in new games the top five, six or seven countries hava always been taken.
