Help with starting with hawaii?

Title..

1) Latejoin, 2) use naval commander, 3) send tons of subs to taiwan, 4) 5) win over n00less

Well, there isn't much chance of winning a serious game with Hawaii, but I suggest you use Master of Stealth, Blitzkrieg or Naval Commander and try to expand to USA and/or Japan depending on your enemies position.

As soon as you have stablished a position inland, make sure to send some backup troops back to your capital, since losing it pretty much means an auto-loss to you, unless it's a total anihilation game.

Pick hawaii IF. And make spiral wall(to hypnotise your enemies) with destroyers.

Play a game with nukes and high funds. Make sure everyone has large countries (which they usually will). Build as much nukes as possible. (usually near 50) Send said nukes at enemies. Enjoy the 'splosions. (Ok, so it's not winning, but it's fun)
