sleeping ruins the whole game. You win a swift strike only if you're VERY LUCKY.

You win a swift strike if you're awake

True but then play a CON or HWW...a Swift Strike is a fast paced game

Dont join to speed games without a team

Aw heck man - I used to play 4x WaW when I was dumb. I'd take out Brunei as Borneo, then sleep, and by the time I woke up I'd be dead.
Once I played an All Countries All In match as China. I enjoyed it a lot ofc. I got massive - so freaking massive that I wrote a thread on this forum on that game. I had 800 points at the end, I managed my diplomacy well I believe. USA won with 1600 points. I remember I was allies with USA and one other guy, and also to Germany. Japan had been more or less dawdling around since day 1 to 13 or so, I took him out so freaking quickly. Germany got destroyed, Spain also got destroyed by USA. I'll attach the link to that forum, you can read it if you want.
Yes it was certainly hard, I never expected to get 2nd place. I got lucky. As Adolf Galland said after his first victory, "an excellent weapon and luck had been on my side."
