How to do blitz start pretty much anywhere.

I'm going to start doing a couple of Blitz startup things, if anyone really likes them i'll keep doing them.

Texas, 10k
Texas is a great cheap start and can reach most of America in turn one and it's unlikely that someone will join directly next to you (aside from the odd Mexico).


Produce tanks in San Antonio, drag the inf and tanks to El Paso and make two transports for them, send them into Salt Lake city.

From Dallas, send 6 of your inf to Kansas City
Produce 6 tanks and send them to St. Louis
send your last 2 inf and make a tank or two to throw at Wichita

Send your 4 inf from New Orleans to USA south and add a tank.

Make a transport in Austin and load as many tanks as you can afford left over onto it and send everything to Mexico City




Great Lakes, 15k
Great Lakes is a great tactical position as well for having a lot of reinforcements available at every corner, an enemy on either side of you is less likely to beat you because you'll always have a place to expand behind yourself an into them at the same time.




Send the 5 inf from Columbus and add 5 tanks to go to Washington.
Send half your inf (4) from Detroit to Ottawa.
Use the remaining 4 inf in Detroit and produce 3 tanks to attack Toronto.
Send your default 5 inf from Indianapolis to south. (add 1 tank for overkill and an extra unit to take over Texas next turn)
Produce 3 tanks from Indianapolis to send to Kansas City.
Send 5 inf, your general and 2 tanks from Chicago to Minneapolis.
Make 6 tanks in Chicago for St. Louis.
Send 1 tank from Indianapolis to Detroit and make an air transport with 5 tanks to send to Montreal.



Pakistan, 15k (10k possibility)

Pakistan is a pretty good spot in Asia with or without blitz. But with blitz your expansion can go above and beyond first turn.




Use 5 inf and make 5 tanks from Lahore to send to Delhi.
Make a transport and move 8 inf and 7 tanks in Karachi to the Arabian Peninsula, distribute your troops to take as much as you can in Oman, UAE and maybe even Qatar.
Make 1 tank in Lahore and send all default inf (outside of Islamabad) to Kabul.
Make 4 tanks in Multan and put them in Quetta where you make an air transport and one more tank to send to Tehran.
Make your last 2 tanks in Lahore and put them in Islamabad where you make 2 air transports to carry 4 inf, 5 tanks and your general to central asia.



Brazil Northeast, 15k (10k possible)
Uniting Brazil in one turn! Always fun times.



Make 3 tanks in Fortaleza and 2 air transports and send all your units to Manaus.
Make a transport in Recife and make 3 tanks, send everything in Recife to Rio.
Make 5 tanks and an air transport in Salvador and send them to Brazil South.
Finally make 2 air transports in Salvador and send all of your inf and general to Brasilia (Optional sending an exta unit from Fortaleza, I was just being sure.)




Russia: Volga 15k or 10k
This is one most people know how to do well with blitz, but if you don't here you go!



Send your Samara inf and 1 tank to Volgograd.
Make 2 more tanks in Samara and send them to Nizhny Novgorod.
Make 2 air transports in Nizhny Novgorod and 2 tanks, send them to St Petersburg.
Make 3 tanks in Ufa and send them to Kazan.
in kazan make 2 air transports and an extra tank to send to Moscow.
Send your eastern default inf to Yekaterinburg.
make 3 tanks in Perm to take Chelyabinsk.



China: South 25k, 15k is tough but can work
You can nearly unite china in one turn with this one.



Send your 8 inf and 2 tanks from Zhengzhou to Beijing and the leftover 6 production as tanks for
Tianjin

In Wuhan send your 8 inf to Shanghai and add 4 tanks

In Guangzhou make 1 tank and 2 air transports and send them to Lanzhou

Make 3 tanks and 2 more air transports in Guangzhou and send that to Chengdu

in Hong Kong make a transport and send 5 tanks to Taipei

Use your leftover production in your non-Hong Kong cities to take over whatever you can
in southwest.

Use your last reinf in hong kong to defense line Guanzhou

Thanks great tips

Please continue. I want to play Blitzkrieg more often, but nearly each time, when I play it, a troll joins directly next to my country...

Something I should mention that can really help just about anywhere, if you use a tip aristo told me (put a bomber next to each major countries cap.) it will help alot, but if you add in a bit of my strategy and attack 2 major countries near your enemy first turn with a force you know will outdo his, he will be crushed by your newfangled empire on his doorstep. Keep in note, invade smaller countries near your base country as well for protection and $$$, but keep the airtrans-far-away rule for covering more ground and conquering faster.

Do Brazil:Southeast. I know for a fact that it is one of the best SM countries (or rather, provinces) and it is my favourite country to start with in world games.

Therefore it's bound to be good with Blitzkrieg. Heck, I'd be willing to bet that if a player is quick enough they can reach Africa by turn 4 and have conquered right up to Venezuela by turn 5 (maybe Peru in the west).

Plos be of makementing's :3

Awesome guides, Stomach! I'm glad that Blitz is getting some love, it really is the best strategy for world games.

Blitz in china. Im gonna have to try this.

it only works when there is no one in China trust me cause if there was someone else you will get turnblocked and raped

+imaginary rep for this brilliant guide about the best strategy! Kudos Stomach!

Ill start with some comments:

1. Mato Grosso can also take over all of Brazil in turn 1. This is implied that you have extra reinforcement though.
2. What you used for China: South can be used in North too. Heck, you could probably use it in Southeast.
3. Australia would have been nice to mention.
4. Russia: Central can do more than Volga.

Great guide though

Is South Korea good with Blitz? I happen to think it is.

It certainly is!

Yay!

Talking of Russia...

The Urals are generally agreed upon as the eastern border of Europe. Rename the topic (use edit button at the top)?

1-2: Well, the guide is ongoing, of course there are other countries that do well with blitz, and i'll eventually do a guide.

3: Australia, even with blitz is a fucking disaster.

4: It may be able to do a similar start, it's cap is closer to European invasion and less ideal. Also the position of your troops after the first turn is much nicer with Volga.

Would the start with Russia: Volga also work in an euro+ game?, since there are more enemies nearby than in a world game. Also, what are the differences between blitz and SM, because i've been using SM, so i haven't gotten blitz yet, since, as far as i know, they're basically the same, as they perform the same function, which is fast expansion

When I play great lakes as MoS, i perform a blitz-like start, taking the capitals of atlantic, ontario, quebec, south, midwest, and texas. I then destroy the air transports, and continue my expansion.

obviously you know that this wont work in 10k, maybe 3 min but not 2 and it sure wont work when another player is near you so yeah

Yes, I realize that. thats why I rarely do it, and I only do it in smaller games.

Why would you use Blitz in small games? Or do you mean small like in numbers? To really be successful when using Blitz you normally need a whole region empty for you.

First off, I do mean small in numbers. Secondly, I said its a blitz-like start, but I use MoS.

Blitz seems to be a strong tactic, but I still don't want to buy that strat because often times, a neighboring late-joiner would invade me early on. I love strong defense points, so that's why I use MoS, where I can combine infantry and marines if I need defense for my troops, and SM, where bombers are strong in both offense and defense.

The thing is, blitz is great!...if your playing alone. The defense is so week that if you have 20 militias in a city, it will get taken by 10 tanks.

But there's a bit of a problem here,even if the enemy is not near you,he can take care of your offensive easily (tanks with only 2 defence points dosn't seem so stiff),what are you able to do when you're losing all of your offensive units in his front?

Could yuo do a vietnam one?

Haha I have a MoS expansion for USA Great Lakes that takes more countries than Blitz's. But its a burden turn 2 lmfao. (1000+ income still good though.)
