Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

build, build, build, sleep while building. Or change to fascist/comunist and attack whole america

Best to switch to facist or communist for a more interesting gameplay really.

At the start just build lots of factories and bases since your operations will be quite spread out.

And maybe conquer the whole of the americas as part of a modified monroe doctrine ;)

Depends on what you're going for. An ahistorical route is perhaps a little more interesting in single player. In multiplayer the allies are bound to get f'ed if America goes fascist och communist.

If you want to learn the game I suggest playing as a smaller nation, not one of the big few. Maybe Sweden or Norway. Much of the game is the same, but less stress and you can find out how things work.

The national focus on the right leads to a wargoal to puppet Venezuela.

While you're at war with them, you're allowed to change your economy to Partial Mobilization, which basically "wakes the giant" very early in the game if you rush it.

Be aware though, they may join the axis and then drag you into a war with them. However, this could be seen as a good thing aswell, as it lets you play a much more active US from early on.

Are you sure it works? i haven't tested it while at war but i did try right after it and it says cannot replace undisturbed isolation

It's easy, to play as the USA click on new game, select the scenario you prefer and then a list of interesting nations appears. Click on the USA and click start game, that's it.

one rule..... DESTROY EVERYTHING, DESTROY EVERYTHING, DESTROY EVERYTHING, OBLITERATE WHAT MAKES US WEEEEAAAAKK!! (obliterate mexico, canada, and leftist politicians haha)

Yes it works to change away from isolation if you're at war with Venezuela. I did it in my last game. You just need to be at war.

This. I did exactly this during my US playthrough, and then entered the war in early 1940. We had the Axis more or less beaten by 1942, even without help from the USSR. I have now laid claims to most of USSR after the peace treaty, and after I'm done with my current build-up and government change I will Big Blue Blob the entire world :-)

So yeah, going to war to puppet Venezuela works wonders, but you need to change the economy *during* the war. It works!
