I remember once, I was playing Germany as teal on a small islands map. My partner was UK and...I think Russia...my second partner dropped...We were against UK, US, and...I think Russia...Russia makes a good filler country when I'm confused. Anyways, my partner was at constant war with the Russian enemy, who was paying for a huge bombing campaign. I had been attacked early, only saved by the fact that in DM I had made three V2 factories and nuked half my own base to save myself. Anyways, UK got Trafalgar up as did my partner, and it was going down hill for us. My partner was hardly surviving the air war against Russia, and I couldn't get any V2 into UK's base, too much Bofor. So I decide to use my color in my favor. I put 6 villies on a patrol boat and send them to an island in the center (this being a huge map on small islands) south of UK's island. UK had all of his Bofors lining the east end of his island, which is where my V2s normally came from. I built a rocket base along the coast which blended nearly perfectly in with the shallow water on the mini map, and then built a settlement and garrisoned it to create a TC. I then built 6 more villies from my new TC and prepped them just off the southern coast of UK's island. The nuke found its mark, totalling UK's wonder, TC, and several other vital structures. While he was blind, I made my move and built a TC, rocket base, rax, and tank factory on his coast. I spammed out a group of MG42 teams and three KTs before he could muster the resources to start rebuilding Trafalgar. I then built another rocket base north of UK and southwest of US. I put a V2 into his half-built Trafalgar and several other structures and then attacked with my ground forces. He was soundly defeated quickly, my first, and just about only victory with Germany over an enemy. My partner and Russia were still having an airbattle, but Russia was having trouble placing bombers and intercepting enemy bombers with fighters without UK. Soon my partner had several forward airbases set up on nearby islands to Russia, and Russia was pulling back to defencive. US hadn't done much offensively. He had colonized the nearby islands and set up a giant AA wall around his island. Every two or three spaces was an AA emplacement. However, he had missed a spot. I managed to build a TC and several rocket bases before he was aware that he was being V2ed from the inside out. I took out his forests and major structures, and he soon rallied all of his remaining troops in the middle around a newly created line of V2. I took his colonies and my ally started a naval campaign against his exterior AA. I would have won had it not been 3 in the morning. Being discovered by my dad, I was grounded for...a week if I remember correctly...lol
