Jan-Apr 1940:
Declared war on Panama
Annexed Panama
*If there was a province between Honduras/El Salvador and Panama I annexed it too.

Colombia begged me to spare them by offering me all bar their captiol. I accept, and receive a puppet for the American Empire.

Declared war on Nationalist Spain.
Declared war on Soviet Union.
Declared war on Nationalist China.

Lands in eastern Sovjet and Western Sovjet secure a quick victory. Make sovjets my puppet.
Yugo become puppets of USA and have one province remain(SFP style )
Sovjets and Yugo agree to the Partition Act whereupon they give me all their territories bar their capitol. Sovjets begin giving me loads of techs and I thank them by giving them 5000 money.
Mass landings in Nationalist China secure a quick victory over them. SFP style distribution of territories to me provides me with all the territories Japan had taken off China- which was the eastern coast.
Guangxi Clique, Yunnan and the other one(Xibei w/e) fall quite quickly.
Grand Capitana Kaioo meets with Hitler to discuss the American-German invasion of France. Kaioo promises the assistance of 20 American divisions to attack Southern France and distract parts of the French army as Hitler mobilises in the east. Kaioo needs a further 10 divisions to protect their Afrikan provinces secured thanks to Spain.
UK will also pose a problem, and Kaioo insists Hitler do something about the UK. Hitler refuses due to lack of any resources.
Grand Capitana Kaioo arrives back in Leningrad, the current military capital of USA as relations with Finland dwindle. Another 20 divisions will be required to protect the Sovjet-Finland border, as well as 6 divisions to take Lithuania, and a further 30 divisions to protect the Sovjet-Europe border. Invasion of Sovjets is beginning to look like a foolish idea.

Late Apr 1940:
Siam-Persia-Tibet-Ireland Alliance is born as the USA-Sovjet Union-Sinkiang-Tannu Tuva Alliance declares war on each country individually.
USA declares on Mongolia.
USA in war with Bolivia even though they have no borders to keep the war resources and IC as they are when I crush my enemies as I have a lot of men being built and I like positive money
Grand Capitana Kaioo moves military capital to Madrid as troops gather on the Spain-France border.
USA has +180 relations with Germany,+30 with Hungary, +20 with Slovakia. Axis relations are good.
Relations with Allies aren't as good.
France -200, UK -200, Canada +20 as I have trades with them and they wouldn't want my army of 40 divisions streaming through their lands.. though I do want supplies in Alaska.. hmm.. New Zealand +200 after Couping them in an attempt to get them out the Allies so I can dec war and secure Oceanic island base to invade Australia at same time as France. Revenge for my Hoi1 game Australia -150
Relations in Asia are as follows: Japan +150, Manchuria -100, Guanxi Clique -200, Nationalist China -200, Yunnan -200, Communist China +50(what will happen to Communist China if I coup them.. would they become Nationalist Communist China or something ), Tibet -200, Mongolia-200

Once my Chinese forces roll out i'll mop up Nationalist China and the other 1 province chinese countries... hoping to get my France invasion up and running by June... Need to get there before the Germans.. whenever they decide to uphold our bargain and invade...

My military is preparing to mop up Venezuela too, and soon Venezuela will join the Great American empire. Need to secure the Carribean too as UK and French provinces are there. Maybe I can SFP them off France and UK

Cuba decided to not obey our agreement on 19th April. So, I invaded them and Annexed them.
Annexed Venezuela.
Crushed the Siam-Persia-Tibet-Ireland Alliance crumbles. Siam, Persia and Tibet crushed to one province before being SFP. Ireland is turned into USA's puppet.
Turkmenistan is liberated and released from American puppetry.
USA gives several provinces back to landlocked Sovjets to try and get a Sovjet navy up and running again.
The Spain-France border has 4 French troops protecting it, and will surely gather suspicion as American troops gather on the border.
War with Ecuador.
Troops amass on the Venezuela-Brazil and Colombia-Brazil border in preparation for Operation Brazilia Americana.
Troops amass on the Colombia-Peru border in preparation for the fall of Ecuador and the march into Peru.
19-22(10 transports carrying 7 or 10 units.. and then 12 transports carrying 12 units) the 7 or 10 units are going to mainland Spain for Gibraltar whilst the 12 are going to Afrika to advance into French territory there.
Rumoured German preparation into march in Afrika. If true, Grand Capitana Kaioo is pleased.
War will be declared on France when the 19-22 troops arrive, then the war shall begin. Hail Grand Capitana!!

Grand Capitana Kaioo out

Early Jun 1940
Operation Europe is a go. Repeat, a go!
At 0800 hours on 2nd June 1940, Germany and the US launched a joint strike on France. The entire southern half of France fell to the US quickly, and troops prepared to mobilise to Paris.
German effort was quite weak, but Belgium fell in just 3 days.
Germans finally break their frontline just as the US seizes Paris. French are on the retreat as troops mobilise in Africa, securing key oil producing territories as German Panzers land on the Northern coast.

Mid Jun 1940
European France is under US control, with only 2 territories in German hands, a success either way. We did not want many German units in France.
Half of French Africa falls to US whilst a quarter is obtained by Germany.
Serbia demands independence from the American Empire, and is granted it. Suddenly, US is kicked out of Serbian territory and Serbia becomes hostile.
The Federation of Eastern Nations(Japan,Serbia,China) forms and demands US abandon chunks of territory. Not looking to get a ginormous war the President accepts, giving half of China back to Communist China.

Late Jun 1940
The FEN secures all of Asia, and is formed under one nation. It looks like the Cold War that many were predicting is coming true. The nation commanding the FEN, USSR, on 28th June 1940 declared independence from the US, and secured a hefty support from Asia. Sinkiang, long allies of the US joined the FEN. Sovjet red is sweeping towards the German allies.
UK launches a invasion plan on US but the International fleet of 62 ships demolishes any British attempt at landfall.
The African States of Independence(South Africa, Ethiopia- newly formed- and Egypt unite against the American-German threat in Africa.) and secure a ginormous chunk of Africa.
The Middle East is split in half as American troops engage with the FEN.

Early Jul 1940
Americans pull out of the Middle East as the Germans are crushed due north, and to stay would risk being pincered. The Sovjets are crushing anything in their path. Is this the end?


Early Aug 1940
Good News at last! The FEN has been halted 2 miles outside of Berlin by the Panzer Command Brigade and the American Tank Troop. 200 Tanks(in-game about 30) are barraging the 100,000 FEN troops in the trenches that were built by the Sovjets.

Mid Aug 1940
Disaster! The Japs(divisions of the Sovjets) have been digging tunnels underneath our Tanks! We're losing large amounts of Tanks.

Late Aug 1940
We didn't want to do this. We didn't. Initiate Operation END WAR.

Early Sep 1940
The FEN is severely damaged as Moskva, Leningrad, Tokyo, Beijing and Minsk are nuked. Over 40 million people have been killed. The FEN surrenders and Americans seize Japan and China.
Middle East and the German-Sovjet border is under American control.
Hitler is angered by America's power and creates the Nations Against America(Germany,UK,USSR,South Africa, Ethiopia,Egypt and Argentina) and launches Panzer operations

Late Sep 1940
Fools. Germany falls rapidly, Hitler's head skewered on a spike. Argentina and half of South America lies in ruins, littered with bodies. The Sovjet border with America is strewn with USSR troops. Africa is American.
