Mexico: An Empire In Central AmericAAR

Now, as we all know, Mexico didn't play much of a part in World War 2.....
So, I have made it my mission to play as Mexico on VanillAAR HOI2D 1936-1953 (with misc.txt modded to make partisan levels drop slowly over time) where I will be aiming to create a Mexican Empire In The region, without having the USA rape me across my northern border. Hopefully I can tame that fiery warmonger Roosevelt.
With........
Less Than 20IC
Bad Tech Teams
Bad Leaders
Bad Starting Tech
Poor Manpower Growth (although better than some)

This should be fun. Here we go...........

Here it is! Our beloved Mexico! ^.^

Oh, doesn't that just make you feel all warm inside? And what a lovely green colour too!

Now, down to business............
Seen as I have such little IC to start, and as I'm not planning on spreading freedom and love to central America juuuust yet, I've decided to go for IC increasing research .

Skill 4 Tech teams ftw

A start on the long road to dictatorship, I may be able to declare war on someone this time next century all being well.

Whoa! I moved the production sliders! Pretty riveting stuff this, I hope you're able to keep up with me.

Now my units have (crappy) leaders, and my two cavalry divisions begin their long trek to Mexico city......damn my lack of rear area dumps. Oh well, I'll give all the troops new sombreros and hope that they don't notice they have to walk hundreds of miles. Cos I'm nice like that.

Wow. A (half) division of fighters. Bye bye planes, i can use the scrap metal to produce more rifles and army rations and I can use the fuel to power the horses in my army........what? You mean you can't run horses on petrol? Oops, better switch to diesel then!

Hope you enjoyed this brief opening, I shall update as soon as possible (hopefully tomorrow or Thursday). And cross your fingers that it doesn't all end in tears.

And sorry for poor picture quality/small pictures. I wasn't sure what size to make the pictures, so I let Imageshack resize them. Next time I'll resize them myself and not be such a lazy dictator.

Hugs for all Mexicans Good luck

 

[Lordban]

Good luck indeed And don't forget, Texas is yours by right

 

[unmerged(51077)]

Good luck, and I hope you invade America

 

[unmerged(17581)]

Good luck, and I hope this is a Mexico AAR that doesn't start with invading America.

There are AARs like that?

Link!

Well many players are going to consider the utter lack of forces on the US side tempting. It's a little too gamey to suit my tastes; normally, even without much modern equipment, there could have been a large mobilization and a poorly equipped and poorly trained but relatively large army on a rather short term; I can't imagine the USA not defending themselves against an entirely unprovoked attack on their own soil

 

[unmerged(17581)]

Yup. Which is why Mexico AARs that don't do that should be.

 

[unmerged(47162)]

good luck!

 

[AOK. 11]

It looks great so far. I agree with other posters that a more realistic MexicAAR would be refreshing. In any case, I will be watching for an update.

 

[unmerged(52507)]

Bold move to get rid of the fighters. I guess their lack won't inhibit you in Cent America.

 

[stnylan]

Let the Yanquis be, unless, of course, they choose to interfere with your empire at a later date.

 

[walrus]

Lordban: Mmm, texas :strokes:
General Jac: Maybe, maybe.........
Jemisi: getting rid of the fighters also means i don't need to re-enforce anything at the start, also, the range suckz0rs, so i'd probably never use them anyway.

Update to follow shortly

 

[walrus]

So, I seem to be in the green for all resources! But anyway, I set up a trade deal to keep Roosevelt sweet.

MoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoney. Lovely. I shall spend this money wisely, on guns and supplies! I mean, erm, flowers and ceremony's promoting peace. :Smiles Innocently:

Starting off with the 1936 Infantry tech was a really boon, and here comes the first benefit of that

One step closer to being able to overpower the United States of.....erm, Central America :Looks Shifty:

And again!

Those Mexicans AARe always up to something, best to keep a close eye on them..........

Now, with my divisions fully updated (just), its time for production!

I've decided to build a factory to get 20 IC base so I get that extra-tech-slot-goodness, and an extra Infantry Division to bolster my ranks.

But hot damn! Look at that! 50% progress, Jeez, that's slow. I want my men now dammit! (Or as soon as possible)
Now, I've just seen I have stupidly long coastlines, So I've decided to cancel that Infantry build and order a garrison. But you don't get another screen shot. Because you haven't been good. I saw you beat up that kid behind the bike shed today for his lunch money.

Hopefully we shall get to some action shortly, but because I have things to do that's all you lovely people are getting for tonight.

 

[unmerged(51077)]

Well I doubt the US is wary scared of you at the moment

 

[Lord Valentine]

Nice to see a Mexico AAR that dosen't take itself to serious.
Anyway I like your short, ironic and informativ updates. I cant wait to see you spread "love and peace" through (central) America.

~Lord Valentine~

 

[Lordban]

You could be surprised
But I'm not a bad person.
Never.
I'm the person to whom the kid complains
So I'm not even going to say I liked this update.
Even though I liked liked it.
Bad person, ain't I?

But you don't get another screen shot. Because you haven't been good. I saw you beat up that kid behind the bike shed today for his lunch money.

Says the person with the avowed aim to beat up all the countries that are smaller than you in central america - which would in fact be all the countries in central america anyway

 

[Spitfire_Pilot]

Nice update, hope you take down the US while shes weak, like i once did in my first AAR as Canada .

 

[unmerged(47162)]

yar attack the USCA!
