This is my goal. But Japan is AI and although it now owns most of the Pacific and huge parts of the Asian-Oceanian continent, it does not seem to feel confident enough to invade the mainland USA. Has anyone seen Japan doing that as AI?
September 3-9, 1944
I got this message for the fall of Pearl Harbor when I passed Japan to Hawaii, but obviously the Japanese never fought for these islands. Thus consider it "happened" when my Germans invaded.
This is the last of the super advanced tactical weapons we are working on. A RADAR-guided bomb... This will be spectacular! These guided bombs will be especially useful in our fights against Allied surface units. (+3.00 bonus)
Germany works hard to make the Mozambique locals revolt against the British-American rule there. Since we failed with regular troops, at least we could do some insurrection. Unfortunately, it seems that the Allies have good control of the coasts and they might even sniff out our cells.
By the 9th of September, our small invasion fleet had arrived on the Bermudas coast. Hundreds of marines land on the beaches under fire from the local garrison, while getting support from our battlecruiser "Pommern" in the open. The weather conditions are also ideal!

How many defenders on Bermuda? Question after next update, how many graves on Bermuda per square-kilometre?
Mpika. In the middle of nowhere. 
(it has been there for a long time now, I have been seeing it through my Belgian allies, but it is really hard to reach due to low infrastructure)

But how many carriers do the American have?! Oh gosh... although I try to swap my fleets, the Americans seem to be now patrolling the important waters around Panama all the time.

How are you avoiding US megastacks? I remember how AI always moves in one large doomstack...
I agree but are you willing to share the spoils of war with your allies?
I have not seen many naval megastacks after the operations around Scotland. Indeed there I fought a huge one, if you recall from past screenshots.
Yes. There is even a modern TV pilot for that. USA shared between Japan and Germany.

The Americans have taken Bombay in India. With a port in their hands they are now able to ship supplies and get resources from the subcontinent. Of course, we can also intercept these hefty convoys! The waters just of out Boston are dangerous...
We use some improved Ju-290 models to patrol the seas around Bermuda. Bermuda is in an ideal place in the middle of Northern Atlantic to control the movements of US surface units.
Hehe, and wait to see them when they get their "jet engine" upgrade (97% to achieve) which is actually a rocket-powered boost!

Bermuda is becoming pretty soon a very important node in the Atlantic Sea. We should further invest in its port facilities as it is a prime logistics hop between Europe and Northern America. We could also make repairs to our forward subs here, instead of sending them back all the way to Europe. The Americans, however, want it back or at least neutralized as soon as possible. We can already detect two fleets coming near. With only the battlecruiser Pommern and the escort carrier Isar, we are not safe. We are also bringing aircraft wings from Europe, including naval bombers.
Thankfully, the construction of new transport and invasion ships is almost complete. These new oceanic transports are ideal for port-to-port movements, as the one we are preparing against Brazil! Three new ground divisions are also ready in Cherbourg.

No, that's an old one I have not yet "motorized". Perhaps I will keep the vintage divisions-brigades as they don't need fuel.

We want to improve our ability to strike the Americans where they hurt. In their ships. Using air-launched torpedoes!
I use the "steal local plans" power to spy on the island of Puerto Rico before launching an invasion. It is not heavily defended, but we have to be careful of the vessels stationed there.

You know what: I was kind of considering that just today. If it all goes well in Brazil, I might subdue (puppet) it with far less men than the two armies I had pegged. Essentially I will be using assets from the 1. Armee, the 2. Armee is there for backup. That army-worth of troops could actually start a campaign to the West, essentially steamrolling Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, etc all the way to the USA through Mexico.
But won't I be opening too many new fronts? Although I am confident that the above-elencated countries are small and their armed forces inexperienced, it will still be battles to be fought.

I think 15 battle-hardened German divisions can eliminate everything from the former Grand Colombia and United States of Central America, however you have to count on some reinforcements coming down from the US through Mexico, therefore stopping you in your tracks around the Yucatan. That might also work in your favour, as a subsequent amphibious invasion further up the Gulf would possibly cut off, encircle, and lead to the destruction of the most mobile, strongest US forces.

It is not bad as a plan, I will seriously consider it, but only if Brazil falls down relatively easily and I don't suffer any unexpected setbacks (or too many casualties).
Ideally, the German invasion of the USA should happen from three sides:
I am really puzzled why the Japanese have not taken advantage of the power vacuum in the Pacific so far. I would have expected them to commence the invasion of the continental USA (California) themselves, but they are sitting on their asses. Who knows, perhaps they think they are not strong enough, even though they have reached all of their goals in the Far East... at least I hope they pour forces in the West coast once the first Germans start landing in Alaska!!
Ideally, the German invasion of the USA should happen from three sides:
- Canada (4. & 5. Armeen)
- Alaska (Army not yet allocated: possibly the 3. once it has secured the Caribbean, together with the Japanese Expeditionary Marines stationed in Hawaii)
- Mexico (2. Armee)
