For now, I think a good focus on industry would be useful.
I think your aircraft focus should be strategic and tactical bombers, along with fighters.
For infantry, marines would be great, along with basic paratroopers (They're fun!)
Tanks with self-propelled artillery will serve you well when annexing the Germans and Soviets.

I suggest building IC for now, and heading towards interventionism. It's hard to conquer the world without being able to declare war.

If you want to shamelessly go for an easy victory: Guarantee Spain, Poland and all the Chinese countries for free points of interventionism.  Also, do a run of industrial capacity in the meantime.

If you want to make it challenging with the easiest country in the game: Build nothing but militia, Jefferson's corpse shall lead us to victory!

We need Paramarines, not Paratroopers.

Research and nuke Canada Germany.
Research beginning. Research can be outvoted if two or more people have an objection or if a more popular research item needs a slot.

Fire Hoover!  If he's historically accurate, you don't want him.  If not, you should still fire him for his extreme Arch-Conservative bias (We're talking about the guy who thought Martin Luther King, Jr. was the biggest threat to US security).

You sure?

Researching Basic Infantry, Basic Marines, Basic Strategic Bombers and Early Field Artillery. Also began two serial runs of 5 tactical bombers and 5 transport planes.

Guaranteed Spain and Poland independence. What do you mean by a run of industrial capacity?

Aww.... why didn't you pick the glorious Motherland? Her soldiers are strong like bears you know.
Outvoted!

I will handle trade deals. My ultimate goal is to keep all of our resources along the top in the green. I will strike deals in order to keep that happening.

Spoiler: Lots of trading! (click to show/hide)

If that Frank Murphy is the same one that ended up on the Supreme Court, I'd rather he do that than become Secretary of Security.

I don't know if the game works like that, but okay.


Also, we have been "barely influenced" by the UK. We sure are popular!

By do a run of industrial capacity, I was suggesting building as many factories as you can in the first year while you wait for all the countries you guarantee to get DoW'd.

No, it doesn't.  Can't appoint him as Governor-General of the Philippines, either... which just leaves the poor fellow with one option.  He deserves it more than Hoover, anyway.  Hoover sucks.  :P

Sorry, bad pun.  :-\

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...

Roger that. Started building some factories, I'll keep 2 in the production list at all times.

Naval power and air power will be key. Our enemies ARE across oceans you know.
Which is why I'm building planes and there's ships in the production list.

I vote we shove 20 factories at the top of the list. It's not like the USA can easily get into any fights in the first year.

Let's become an industrial powerhouse! Well, more of one. We'll need to be able to roll out the weapons if we want to take out Japan, Italy, and Germany with no allies.
