Decide where to strike, when to strike and the intensity of the strike. Will it be a strategic bombing raid, a sneak submarine attack, a hit-and-run assault by your well-trained infantry, an antiaircraft barrage or a major invasion by land, sea and air forces? Plan your attack, move into the embattled territory with your forces and resolve the conflict. The economic destiny of your nation is also at stake. Buy armaments and develop secret weapons from your stockpile of production certificates..... an income based on your own natural resources and successful territorial expansion. If you're a brilliant military strategist, a prudent economist and an astute politician, you'll lead your nation to victory.
