In a game I am currently playing I am attempt to do either one of 2 things A. Invade enough countries to win a domination victory, (very close 48 percent of the world population and 45% worth of land area) this is obviously including my permanent alliance with Washington. or B. Attempting to gain enough population points to completely manipulate the UN. Currently my votes alone pretty much garentee my reelection to the UN.
Given these two goals it is important for me to not only have a big army but to have a rapid one as well. So I came up with the idea to imploy the following units only: Marines, Artillery, Gunships, Mech. Inf., Mod Arm., Jets and Stealth Bombers.
First off the slow moving units i.e. Marines and Artillery plus 5 or so Modern Armors invade from the west. My "rapid deployment units" invade from the east. As I begin my invasion I use my slow moving units in the west to invade only a few cities, they will not play a major role their main point of existence is to provide a bit of "shock and awe" to the victim empire. However the main army has to employ many tactics to be victorious quickly.
A. A decent amount of jet fighters (in my current invasion I'm using nine) stationed on carriers must do collateral damage to destroy defending units, then they must also destroy city defenses sence the rapid deployment group will not have any artillery the fighters must provide that.
B. You capture your first city using conventional units (modern armor are best) station some mech for defense depending on the threat level for that city.
C. Now here is where an exstensive stack of Stealth Bombers come in handy
Rebase all stealth in the city you have just acquired (currently I have 23 however that might be more than enough) And begin bombing all cities ahead of your units focusing on Air strikes, remember the more damaged their units are, the less likely they are going to come out and greet your stack
D. With this in mind begin fanning out your Gunships with their ability to move further ahead of your Modern Armor they can begin destroying units in cities before you even get there. The gunships are most successful obviously against units with half strength and no city defenses, use ur Jets and Stealth to accomplish this. Under best circumstances by the time your stack gets to the city you won't even have to attack, just rolll-onnn-in.
Rinse and repeat.
Using this strategy I have invaded 2 countries in about half the time it would have normally taken. Also I lost only the following: 4 marines, 1 Modern Armor and 3 Gunships (so try and have plenty of these because they are crucial to this strategy). So please give this a shot and tell me what you think.
