While I got it that you were referring to the former democratic governments of Europe, wouldn't a right-leaning commentator (who also had the exact same job in that democracy and supposedly understands how it worked, along with most of the adult population) really attack democracy for its "iron grip" or its [unjust] "rule over Europe"?
It's the fascists that promise to lead their nation to greatness by ruling it with a firm (and iron) grip and you can hardly accuse a government-in-exile that it once rightfully ruled over the country thatelected it.
All the listeners will know that those accusations are very dubious, it sounds odd.
A fascist press surely would rather attack the democratic governments-in-exile for their supposed weakness and probably for failing to follow their population's wishes to end the war.
Or for being tied to a hateful conspiracy bent on enslaving and exploiting the common people or whatever. Or perhaps they'd be accused of having financial interest in continuing.

Wow, wow, wow and just wow!!!! Subhanallah, I have never ever read anything comparable to this AAR, I cant find words... Congratulations!!!!
Possibly. Since I play MP I generally don't do nofog. How I tell what is going on in Australia is load up as UK real quickly to see what is going on in there.
@ve3609 + jadam: Thanks
Glad you like it.
I forgot about that, and to be honest I have no idea. I might have to check that.
By the way guys, update tonight!

"The world today. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation now presents a summary of the all the important world news today. Reports from CBC correspondents by trans-America short wave radio, and the latest developments as received by the Canada's news room here in Ottawa. Tonight we will be reporting on the latest military events from the United States and abroad via our correspondents in Chicago and Ottawa."
"Good evening Canada, this is Tommy Fourever. Today we will be reporting on the growing crisis in Britain and eastern Canada, as well as the recent Confederate attacks along the east coast."
"In Britain, a voluntary evacuation order has been issues for London and the surrounding regions. As German scientists investigate the effects of the recent fire at the London nuclear facility, is is suspected that high doses of radioactive material was spread over the area. This comes at a extremely bad time for the beleaguered island, which currently is suffering from unrest over the entire southern portion of the island. Disease has become rampant as much of the population lives on what can be described as 'poverty rations'. Malnutrition, starvation, and disease is spreading rampantly and without control."
"To further compound issues on the island, a recent food convoy was attacked by rebel groups and rioters as it left from the port facilities at Dover. The shipment contained three shiploads of food from the German Ukraine, and was destined to be divided up amongst several refugee camps all over the island. The attack, which took place late in the evening last Saturday as it past through Dover's outskirts, overwhelmed the 100 armed German and British escorts. In the ensuing firefight, several of the trucks caught fire, destroying their cargo. The rest of the trucks were looted, and their contents either taken or destroyed. The German government has severely condemned the attacks, and it looking into ways to better safeguard any aid shipments to the island. The Deutsches Rotes Kreuz has stated that it refuses to sent any of its members to the island until the security situation has been fixed."
"In Montreal, violence has sparked at several refugee camps as tensions rise due to increased food shortages. The military has been called to intervene to keep populations segregated as British, French and American refugees began several clashes sparked by each side's government's actions during the war. Several disputes, thought not significant in themselves, fueled the riots which quickly spread to nearby camps. Many Canadians see the increased British refugess, which continue to flood across the Atlantic, as a threat do their nation's security. Several Canadians have protests Canada's open border policy, and call for restrictions on British travel. We contacted the government, and they responded with the following:"
"...it must be remembered that the British people are not to blame for the course of events in which their nation went under. It was the policy of their leaders, and the people are as much refugees from their government as they are from the diseases and poverty which plague their island. It is the wish of the Canadian government to extend open arms to all those who need it, and we will not turn away so many people in their time of need..."
"The Confederate States of America have launched new attacks both diplomatically and militarily. Near Washington, Confederate forces have begun the first of many planned attacks aimed at crippling the United States war effort and cutting them off from any external aid. United States forces have been pushed from Charlottville and Baltimore, which comes as a massive hit on moral as Californian divisions launched attacks of their own along the US west front. On the political front, the CSA has begun moves to strengthen ties between them and the Axis states. Thought not outright attempting to align themselves with the Axis states, they are in a unique positions to benefit from European trade and at the same time appear to remain independent. The horrors of the war are still fresh in American minds, and any attempt to show any support for Germany and its allies would prove to be a political disaster."
**Dammit, reinforcements + supplies is draining a significant portion of my IC. Recent attacks by all parties is straining my armed forces and airforce once again. Texas is on the brink of death, that is a plus and a minus at the same time...**

Do you think the CSA will become a large threat by the time dissent isnt a big issue? I can see them soon being able to match you with 3 division corps; which will not be good for you.
But on the upside, the underdog California will require troops from both you and CSA which is worthwile to note; as you are slowly regaining power from New England, What would be your estimate on the Californian Army anyway? Because it seems like they can only do a 1 per province advance which might bode well for you if want to shoot for the IC rich west coast.
Also, KICK COOL WHEN HE IS DOWN AND SEE HOW HE LIKES IT!

I'm curious about what your plan of attack is. Will you concentrate your forces to destroy the CSA or will you try and rush Calif.
How much dissent do you have and what is your IC as well as the IC of the CSA and Calif.?
Does the CSA have any more tanks than the one shown in the screenshot?

This is a great AAR. You can almost hear Hitler's ghost prowling in the shadows, laughing maddly as his enemies tear each other apart. The North Americans are shooting each other while the weakened Red Army fights a grueling atrittion war against the strange bedfellows of China and Japan.
So, Firestorm, if you survive, are you going to continue, end this AAR or mod MDS or HOI3 to make a sequel?

Thanks! I think Hitler's laugh can be heard if you walk past the graveyard he is buried in.
A part of me wants to make it into an MDS. The other part of me realizes that my Civil Engineering program starts in two - three weeks, so I dunno. Any MDS mods out there that start in 1964?
@Avatar018: CSA has two tank divisions. I am going to be focusing on them. I just wanted to push the Californians back abit to give me some breathing room if they come up with any surprises.
@Merlowe: Asia or Ukraine and the sorts?
@Austria-Hungary: I see them building up power pretty damn quick. I need to get some armor up I think to match them. The west coast is too far to hit, I only have like 3 divisions facing California at the moment. By the way, I like your quote (in your sig). Not too many people know about that. Soldat is a pretty good book.
Hopefully this evening (12h or less) I should have an update ready, depending on when I get home.
NO TIME LIMIT! NO TIME LIMIT!
even if it takes you ten, twenty, one hundred years, you have to win.
or at least liberate the western hemisphere from fascist scum

Just win the civil war for the US before all of this turns into the Perpetual War of 1984. I think all those poor survivors of your dystopian AAR really have seen enough fighting in their lives.
I believe extending the game via modding isn't worth it. No matter what mod you pick (I don't even know if there is a playable cold war mod out there (?)), you'd have to put a lot of modding effort into it to make it resemble your current situation.
Furthermore, you better end it after the civil war before your skynet-level-AI decides to crush you once and for all or Cool backstabs you another time. :rofl:
