Strategy[]
If Australia or
New Zealand is a player, your first move is to ally them as to prevent any wars with the countries, because if they invade you, you do not stand a chance. If they do not accept your ally requests, then try to ally some other countries, although the chances of them accepting your request is pretty low.
Start trading with other nations for Oil as you will need it for your navy to function properly. If you are low on funds, set your taxations laws to high and enact Press Censorship. If you still have enough political power after enacting press censorship, enact the Military Service Act so you can get more MP.
Before you build anything else, build at least one destroyer. This will help you attack other nations without wasting your precious Home Guard troops. Spawn some more infantry so you have around 40 - 50K troops (including your original 20K so you don't waste MP) and justify a conquest war on New Caledonia and
Vanuatu.
After the justification process, declare war on New Caledonia. DO NOT immediately rush the capital with your infantry as the other nation's entrenched Home Guard will beat the crap out of your troops. Instead, use your destroyers to bombard the island until your enemy's troops are significantly whittled down (or eradicated), and then take over the island with your troops. Vanuatu can easily be taken with AI Luring, as it has a second city besides its capital.
Justify on Fiji and
Tonga and use the same tactics to defeat them. After this, you can invade more island nations or develop your country/research technologies; the choice is yours.
As a defense against other nations, after you have taken over other islands, spawn some troops in your capital. With luck, their entrenchment may be good enough to hold out during a war until the rest of your troops arrive. However, if you are fighting any big country there is a massive chance they will win. Be sure to have a strong navy.
