Hey guys, this is Third-Prophecy. This'll be my First-AAR, but I've read quite a few others, so I'm not (completely) hopeless.
Anyway, a little bit of history about the addition of the Confederate General this will center around.
Field Marshal Daniel "Fang" Wolf was born in San Antonio, Texas, on April 4th, 1900. He joined the CSArmy 17 years later, managing to catch the tail-end of the Great War.
In two years, he went from Lieutenant to colonel, somehow surviving the brutal battles the Entente put his unit through.
In 1920, he took full command of his division, and led the fragmented force to a crushing victory in conjunction with Canadian and British forces.
Through the remaining four years of the Great War he went through the ranks rather quickly, making it to Major General in neck-break time. After the previous presidential administration "reformed" the Confederate military, he managed to hold to his career, and as the new administration took power, he was elevated to Field Marshal rank, and is currently President Ehringaus's personal military advisor, second only to the Secretary of Defense.
He is called "gifted" in his strategies and tactics, and has been equated many times to Alexander The Great. This man is the youngest Field Marshal in the world.
There, sorry if that was a bit long. Anyway, my updates will have two halves, and should be usually posted at about once a week. (Maybe more, depending on the conditions. Maybe less, I'm a very busy person.)
This first weekend will have (probably) about three quick updates, just to start out.

Chapter 1 - Brothers
--------------
"General! Welcome, Welcome. Please, sit down!" President John Ehringaus said animatedly.
"Hello, Mr.President." Wolf replied, taking the seat the President gestured to.
The long table was pure oak, and sported a large canvas-and-wood map of the Mexican border, with several force markers.
The table was surrounded by the powerful men in politics, but here and there several generals, new guard and old, sitting and waiting for the President to continue his speech.
The walls were a carpeted black, to keep noise in. A handy trick to keep any listeners outside the door guessing.
The President finally sat at the head of the table.
"Boys, we have ourselves an opportunity." He said, grinning like a devil.
"Europe is tensing up, the Germans are starting to get their balls back, and the Brits and French are scared to death."
Wolf looked around the room with his dark green eyes, measuring the grinning from the men around him.
"The damn Yanks are demilitarized to hell, and are trying to make everyone else follow suit - or at least they were." The President measured a careful yawn that didn't fool Wolf - or any of the other military men - into thinking him relaxed.
"They're starting to see their mistakes. Our people in their works are telling us they're running their dusty factories again."
Wolf stood when the President gestured to him.
"General Wolf will tell us the plan."
He nodded for him to speak.
"The Mexicans have been quiet a bit restless lately. They've been contesting the Rio Grande with us for decades." He said, leaning out to the table to push several unit markers around.
"The President and I think it's time we put the issue... to rest." He said.
"We will assault across the Rio Grande." He said.
Several of the generals and politicians shifted uncomfortably.
"How?" Gates asked, his large ears and sharp face giving him a mousey appearance.
"It will come in two parts, and, of course, we must wait for the two new Divisions to come off the line before hand."
He gestured to two markers on New Orleans.
"A Cavalry division and an infantry division will be picked up and landed on Merida. This will surprise the Mexicans, and we can make it to Mexico City before you can yell 'MADRE DE DIOS!'" He shouted.
They laughed at his joke, and the grins that were produced made Wolf smile in turn.
"Anyway... Two Cavalry divisions in San Antonio, One Cav in Corpus, along with my infantry. Then two more infantry in El Paso and Midland. We may even be able to put one in Cuidad Juarez to cover that flank." He shook his head to stress the unlikeliness of it.
"The forces in San Antonio and Corpus Christi will be the main break-through force. If the forces in Midland up can move in, then they'll move down along the west side of the mountains and help us keep the Mexicans running."
He caught his breath for a moment.
"We don't have an Air Force, so how will we keep them from stalemating us?" The President asked.
Wolf smiled.
"Speed. Surprise. If we can overwhelm them in Tampico or Monterrey, we have it." He tilted his head.
"But if we don't cross, the forces from Merida will have a field day. They can't front a two-front war." He sat down.
The President smiled, standing again.
"Thank you, General Wolf. It's a good plan, and it has my approval."
Wolf nodded happily.
"Gentlemen, for now we are done here. Wolf, I want you to organize everything ASAP. If all goes well, we'll be able to get the most out of this war."
The meeting was convened, but the President beckoned for Wolf to stay.
"Yes, Mr.President?" He asked wearily.
"Fang," The President began, "If all goes well, my plan will go into effect." He said simply.
Wolf widened his eyes in surprise.
"John, you said you would only do this in your last days of office..."
"Fang, this is the perfect opportunity. Congressmen Lucard is planning something, and when he tries to do whatever-it-is, I can take this place over." He said.
Wolf nodded, his eyes closing.
"Wolf, you're going to be my man in the shadows. You'll be a hero, but not until this country is where it should be." He said.
"John, you're nearly my brother but... Is it worth it?"
John Ehringaus, President of the Confederate States of America nodded.
"Britain will be ours. And for the first time, the CSA will not be a joke. I will strip freedoms for now, but when I am done... We, Fang, are going to be heroes." He said.
"This is your last chance to back out, Fang."
Wolf shook his head, saying "No... I said I was with you. I still am. I just hope you know what you're doing John."
The president reached out a hand and set it on Wolf's shoulder.
"No, we're brothers now, Wolf." He grinned.
"Brothers and villains. But some day, Heroes."

End of Story Half
-------------
The Goal of this AAR is to establish the CSA as a Superpower. This can be done many ways, yes, (and I'm surely not going for "world conquering") but what I'm going for is this:
To have full cores on all of North America (Canada, USA, Mexico, Central American States) At least part of South America, and Europe.
This'll mean, more than likely, me fighting all THREE major alliances, either on my own or with allies I drag into the fight.
But not only is this AAR about the fighting and action, it'll be about the stories of Field Marshal Daniel Wolf and his men. I'll have narratives of Wolf, and many many other independent (and dependent) characters. From a British Pilot to a civilian Refugee in the 'States.
Anyway, here's my Tech.
I'm going to first and foremost improve my Land and Air forces before I can even think about Navy.
Heres my Production...
It's pitiful, I know, but hopefully it'll improve before I have to do any hard beans-to-bullets production with any major Powers.
Finally, my government, and the War Plan Wolf so flawlessly described.
Yellow = Sea Attack, Blue = Defense Line Red = Land Attacks
I really need to increase Interventionism...
Anyway, more updates up-coming... One probably later today about the start of the Mexican-Confederate War!
