Glad to see this is still going on! I'm hoping the world is subjugated by 1948, otherwise you'll have to mod the end date too!
Nice to have you back MM.....so you had to play your entire game again in Black Ice mod? Does that mean more frequent updates will be coming? We all hope so...

Sorta, the plan is to invade the west coast in the future to occupy their pacific-coast harbors.
I've got 641 IC (which is quite a lot for vanilla) and 490 manpower with a monthly gain of 155, but I've also got monthly losses in the range of 50 to 100 manpower and I'm currently spending almost half of my IC for supplies and repairs. Only the resources are all constantly at 99999.
Badly, its called that for a reason ;-). The most remote province on the eastern front is currently 138 nodes away from the supply-center in Berlin, which means that any bigger change in the front line will throw the whole supply system off balance for almost four and a half month. But since I'm advancing only very slowly this doesn't happen that often and when it does I'm para-dropping supplies on the nodes that are the new bottleneck. I've established an air-bridge with my quad-engine transport planes that reaches directly from Berlin to the front-line with only two stopovers.Chinese hordes still a danger?
How well do the supplies get to the 'Arsch der Welt'?
No, but that would have been something ;-). I've just been playing a few other games with that mod. But I'll try to write updates more regularly to bring this story to a close in the foreseeable future.

155 per month! :wub: Basically you're invincible, even China can't compete with that manpower.
Drat! I've reached page 29. So I guess It's more or less smooth sailing from here?
Unternehmen Dixieland
("Operation Dixieland" or "the Rush for Mexico")

Over the past few weeks the US-Army has amassed a considerable force south of Washington with the apparent goal of retaking their capital. But we will foil their plans this evening, when we will begin our first big offensive of 1945 in Northern America, codenamed "Unternehmen Dixieland". The goal of the operation will be to split the United States in half by driving an armored spearhead deep into their southern states, all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico. After that we can eliminate their encircled forces on the East Coast while advancing into the undefended heartland of their country to link up with our troops in Mexico.
To achieve this we've assembled two Panzer-Armies south of Detroit: General List's 11th Army, which consists of the 1st Light, 2nd and 3rd Panzer Corps as well as the 1st SS Panzer Corps. Their goal will be do advance towards St. Louis and Memphis, covering the western flank of the assault. General von Reichenau's 3rd Army will cover the eastern flank and is in command of the 2nd SS Panzer, the 4th Panzer and two Waffen-SS Corps. Once we've reached Memphis, both armies will combine their forces and advance along a narrow corridor towards the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans. After we've reached the sea, General Schöner's 11th Army can begin to reduce the created pocket with his troops from the north, while the 11th Army will be free to advance westwards towards the American oil-fields of Dallas, before they ultimately link up with our troops in Mexico.

The operation started yesterday evening (local time), which was too late for my taste and I went to bed before it began. But everything went smoothly on the first day of the operation, as I had expected. The thin defensive lines were easily broken by our new King Tiger Tanks and the rear was only defended by ill-equipped national militias.
Our new heavy tanks have proven their worth in their first major engagement.

The operation is now almost a week old and we are making good progress. The 3rd and 11th armies have made a significant dent in the front-line and are now free to advance further south. As so many times before, the US Army is in complete chaos. In preparation of their own assault they had stationed their last reserves south of Washington, which are now desperately being transfered south, in a futile attempt to contain our breakthrough.
Long columns of German tanks are pouring through the breach in the front-line.

While we are making good progress in Northern America, the advance on the southern part of the eastern front has now officially been halted. In the center we can still maintain a very slow, but steady advance to push ever deeper into the boundless forests of Siberia. But in the South our enemies have assembled a sizable defensive force on the foot of the Hindu Kush mountain range. At first only the border to Pakistan was heavily fortified but in the recent month troops from all the opposing Asian nations have gathered in Afghanistan as well, repelling all of our probing-attacks. I've signed an order that no further attacks should be attempted. We should also halt our advance in the center and north. Any further gains of worthless woodlands would only stretch our lines even thinner. Once we are done in America, we shall focus on the eastern front and Asia again. Until then we will dig in and start the construction of new air fields for the coming offensives.

Today our long awaited third carrier-fleet was finally completed. This afternoon they left the harbor of Rostock and are now en route to their first mission south of the gulf of Montevideo.

Last week we captured St. Louis and yesterday Little Rock. The coast of the Mexican Gulf isn't far any more. Everything is going according to plan in North America.
There has to be a typo on the map: Stuttgart in Arkansas?

Despite our successes in Southern America, Field Marshal Sperrle requested additional support a few weeks back to take care of the various stragglers from Peru, Brazil and England of all places, that have fled into the Andes mountains, despite their government's surrender. Today the newly created XXVI. and XXVII. Infantry Corps arrived in São Paulo, Brazil. They were originally earmarked to deal with our problems in Africa, but now they will be transferred into central South America to relieve our paratroopers, which are supposed to take care of Argentina and Chile next.
The fighting in South America continues.

Today, after merely a month, the 27th Panzer Division arrived at the gulf coast near New Orleans. The US Army is desperately trying to break through our corridor but our Panzer Divisions are not moving an inch. Tomorrow we will begin to reduce the size of this huge pocket, which contains 128 Divisions of various different American Nations. After we've eliminated this pocket, the US Army will reduced to troops of their National Guard and local Militias.

There are even two Stuttgarts in the US - in Arkansas and Kansas. More or less every larger german city has at least one american equivalent.[MM];16385460 said:

Should have called it the Anaconda Plan, but excellent update nonetheless! Now I just have to wait for the panzers (or maybe marines) to conquer my hometown.
I don't believe he has captured half of the VPs in USA, remember they are all 1ers and spread out across the USA. Still, the world is getting greyer and we will have a world ruled by Germany soon!
Odessa in the US is not a typo either
Good job. I almost wanna sing "I wish I was in Dixie"
