When I take austrailia I just wait. Taking about 1 territory a turn, I stockpile troops in siberia[to get to europe and to mask my intentions],Japan[to get to kamchatka and to mask my intentions]and siam[to protect austrailia] I stay out of wars[to become wealthy]and if anyone gets out of hand I will attack and keep the game in control. When the world is weakened by war, I attack kamchatka from japan, then to alaska. I attack Ural from Siberia, then the Ukrane from Ural. I then sweep up from siam and take the middle east. 3 borders to defend and getting 15 men a turn with europe and north america's power shattered. The key to this plan is patience and the knowledge to know when to strike.
I just like that idea. I think it's pretty cool.

| When I am dealt two or more territories in Australia, I do take it over, but it is not my primary goal. My play style keeps me heavily in other continents attempting to keep other players from taking over continents, while I slowly take Asia. |

| Anyone who starts from Australia almost always has to grow in Asia. Its very rare for him to try to capture another continent early on. This means that Australian strategy only works when no one threatens Asia as much and are heavily engaged in getting their own continents. The most useful continent for Australia is Africa because its small and approachable. Best option for Australia is usually wait and see. Just be patient while all other players fight each other and become weak. Then attack at exactly the right moment. It always works. |

i take Australia in small games, with 2-4 people; you can take it, easily defend it, and stock up the rest of my armies in Asia or Africa. I then try and treaty around my borders, sacrificing the western hemisphere for Asia. If I'm having trouble defending all of my borders, i will pull out of Africa and stock up in Australia, then just slowly expand.
here it is...sort of confusing. turn one is in red, then turn 2 is in blue. i close in on Asia in turn three, and sacrifice Africa if necessary.

| Interesting diagram of expansion by cyray7 ....... However, you said that you us select Australia in 2-4 player games. In this kind of games, players tend to get continents easily. So how do you deal with the player in North America. He or she will get 5 against 2 for you pretty much right from the beginning of the game. He would always have the upper hand. And just like you he may choose to 'slowly' expand in Asia, specially if he he can get an alliance with either Europe or South America. So basically Australia may not prove to be that easy to expand from . I am interested to know what your thoughts are. |

| i actually addressed this earlier, but because it is so easy to take australia, you can capture it and then go after another contienent, probably africa or south america. this way you can get 4-5 armies, as much as anyone else. also, it will be difficult for the other players to capture a whole continent, becuase south america and africa can attack any other continent on the board. |
