@ Mr. mojo risin
96 is well over 60.

Although it took me 37 moves: it took me a really long time to figure out how to win this given I always ended up facing the last AI who had ammased a massive army.

1) One thing that helped was to pick a favorable continent that had minimum access to it. Either Antartica or Africa will do.
2) Obtain control of all favorable continents first. be effecient in how you do this because acquiring Antartica, Africa and Oceania (and central america) will drain your troops
3) Once you achieve this, start acquiring more sub-continent areas. This is done to prevent the other AI (by this point, 1 or 2 will be left) from acquiring armies
4) Crush the AI like a bug

I took a slow/steady approach, but during that time, would small skirmishes to ensure the AI didn't have access to extra armies. For instance, I would camp out in Spain instead of North Africa/Algeria because the only way to get to it is through France. Watch out for the Hawaii/pacific island area...that can potentially cause weaknesses once you catch Oceania and are trying to make your way up to North America. Be effecient with them because, even though there's quite a few territories, it is heavily exposed from the North and doesn't offer enough armies to warrent it. This area has always been annoying for me but once I invested into it, it allowed me to take control of Asia much easier.

PS: I'm glad to see there are other people obsessed with this game as much as I am. I quite rarely am obsessed with games but this one takes the punch. Perhaps it's the Tom Clancy/Rainbow 6 music or my obsessive need to come up with plans/strategies?? Or both??

dhohol, why did you revive this. It's been 3 months since the last post.
