I prefer the &quot;random card&quot; method as it prevents the obvious securing of Australia and South America for the quick units in the beginning. However, my strategy is always to:<br />A) Win one battle per turn (so you get your reinforcement card)<br />B) Take and hold continents that makes sense - Australia, S. America are easy. Africa next, then Europe and N America. Asia is a sinkhole for suckers.<br />C) Don&#39;t get too spread out. Halt your attack when you still have units to defend with.
