I would play has Javier, and choose BH, then immediately switch to CI. The penguins are lost, but the ports would still generate me funds. and with 12 com towers my
units would take 120% reduced damage. I would also immediately start building subs to lock people out with 48K starting funds that's 2 subs a turn, with a third every three
turns. It would be impossible to lock everyone out completely. but it would be possible to lock GE and YC out early. making their armies and presence moot.

That leaves the entire east, west, and south parts of the map open to CI/BH. 42K funds between two opponents is nothing compared to the 73K funds of the 1. Oh, if you
happen to ban javier, and make subs the lab unit, it wouldn't take too many units to stop OS and BM from advancing at all. some artilalry, rockets, and a single missile
would do it. which would allow for more funds to be diverted to stomping out GE and YC who are harder to lock, but a lot easier to defeat as they are isolated from
everyone else and unable to aid each other.

What is the lab unit suggestion?

Even without Javier and without switching to CI and without subs... 12 towers is a lot! An
infantry can OHKO an enemy infantry, even on a forest! (Well, 96% on the forest, but
that's still a 60% OHKO rate) On equal terrain, even if the other guy hits first, the
counterattack damage with 12 towers would be more than the damage they could deal in the
first place.

In short, BH would be very powerful and probably couldn't lose unless they wanted to.

Without swapping to CI, or ja ier, or Subs. BH would focus on defending against OS and BM, then spend most of
their funds deleting GE and YC who again, are unable to gain assistance to defend against the superior funding.
With them out of the way (the two countries most likely able to try and keep up with BH's funds as they don't have
to share neutral property like OS and BM) then it's a matter of 3/4 of the map vs 1/8 +1/8. not a very difficult fight as
it would also be 5 airports to 1. 15 bases to 18, and 22 com towers to 6 split in half.
