The truly ambitious will justify on Canada, but if you're up to that then I'm not sure that you'd really need a guide like this.īegin producing light tanks and trucks, but these aren't a priority. Justification takes 200 days, so there's time to do exactly three foci before justification completes (10 days of doing a national focus will be saved up). Justification will take 40 Political Power and I prefer to just hold off doing any national focus until that point, for the sake of time.

It's not particularly important whom you pick though, I would just recommend Mexico for the ambitious, Panama or Cuba for the meek, and El Salvador for no one. So if not Mexico, then I like Panama for the oil. Cuba has 126 chromium, but there's a lot of chromium in Kyushu anyway and chromium is not really important to our production with this strategy. Mexico is the ambitious option - it offers quite a bit of oil, some tungsten, and a bit of steel, but just about doubles the number of divisions you face. It doesn't matter which you justify on, but bear in mind that El Salvador is the worst option due to its ability to pump out a mass of divisions to defend its coast, it will be difficult to reach with your navy, and it only offers 1 Chromium. To avoid this, the plan is to justify and declare war against a minor country, such as Panama or Honduras, whom the USA will already be guaranteeing. The first objective is to take over the USA, however it's not so advantageous to justify a war goal on them as that dramatically increases world tension.

Justify Against and Invade Siam and Iran.

This guide does not go to the point of world conquest, but sets you up very well for one. This isn't for you if you're brand new to the game, but is for more of an intermediate player looking for an optimal Japanese strategy.

It assumes a familiarity with the game mechanics, like ordering a naval invasion, as well as basic competency with troop management to get encirclements and the like. This guide is a strategy for a very strong start as Japan, one that enables you to take over at least the USA, Iran, Siam, China, and the great majority of the USSR before 1942.
