Which Continent?

Oceania all the way. Or S. America, if it's more practical. Overall, it really depends upon the dice and the drop. However, Oceania has only one border to defend, which does double duty of being able to mass your armies on a single territory and drawing potential attackers away (they're probably not going to attack a territory with a bajillion armies on it just for the sake of breaking a small territory bonus). Furthermore, Oceania, is especially usdeful to have in escalating games -- all the armies on Siam or Indonesia offer the ideal starting point for eliminating a player. S. America, on the other hand, has more territories to defend from (assuming you advance slightly into N. America or Africa) and I believe it is not as useful to have.

I really like to get N. America and then go for Asia & the rest.

lol. n america is good... if you can get it and keep it. i haven't often seen a guy win after he tried to take n. america. However, if you have many territories there to start with, you might have a good shot. I'd recommend taking it slowly though, since you will be the prime target most likely and need many armies at your borders.

I usually like to take oceana and then try for S.A. Then, if i can, either N.A. or Africa next and go on from there
