So, do you think captring Australia will do you any good when it comes to stretch out the Petal Throne/US navies and air forces? Or does Kanatitlan have a completely different goal in mind?

My computer decided it would be quite funny to die in the middle of making a post, so please excuse the brevity of my explanation.

Land in Central America so that the north is only accessible by a province or 2. Push into South America using strategic beach landings to cut off the enemy if they try to bottleneck you (beauty of the continent being surrounded by water). Push to the south and knock out Chile and Argentina (to avoid the Amazon), and then push from the west and south to destroy Brazil. By this point the arrayed armies of central and North America should be knocking at your landing site in Central America. Land behind them (somewhere south of Mexico City) and crush them. Then push upwards and split the united states in half (settling accounts for fans) while simultaneously knocking out the Caribbean nations out of the war (to get rid of their air force primarily, and also to clear the path to Louisiana should it be needed, as well as to lure the allied navies out into the open where airpower and the Kriegsmarine can obliterate them). Use your infantry to capture to the west while the armored corps holds back the renewed American tide, making encirclements where possible. Push eastward once the western seaboard is secure. If resistance is too strong, a landing from Iceland or South America against the Carolinas or Louisiana (also to encircle the enemy before they are pushed back to the cities and mountains in the north) may be in order depending on where the enemy slows you down.

This plan presupposes that you control Hawaii or another suitable island, and are able to keep the allied air force at bay long enough to make a successful landing.

Also, if I may humbly ask, would it be possible for me to be so bold as to request an update on the status of my avatar on the field of battle?

Regards,
Feldmarschall Bob

It seems odd that I should join the angry mob assembling, knowing the end result will be the doom of my AAR nation... But, hey I knew what I was signing up for... :D

Nice of you to spot the anniversary. I noticed as well since I went to see how long I have been at this one. I really do need to hurry up or we will be here forever.

LIFO Sensible thinking ahead but I've been there already. Wait and see what happens next

Bafflegab Africa is very quiet at the moment but you will be seeing the odd post for over the next few weeks. Very boring though

Zuckergußgebäck Taking Australia is a naval flank protection scheme so that my convoy paths are not vulnerable to enemy air-sea intervention and so general naval interference is not without warning.

KILLER BOB Sensible American invasion advice. The combination of my ideas and the suggestions posted are moving towards some conclusions about how to do it although I suspect I am going to go for far more of the "indirect approach" and "collect bases" approach than anyone has suggested. The current war effort is very dependent on massive air support and local naval repair capability.

THE CROWD Please calm down. I am writing it up now. This will start as a dribble but hopefully we can get to regular posting at the weekend (possibly a massive backlog dump). meanwhile here is some excitement whilst I get moving through the record of April ....

April 1st 1943​

In the Fuehrer bunker the new month begins with some very unexpected news of an enemy attack using a new and exceptionally powerful weapon. The reports of its capabilities are deeply concerning although the reported target is a less than useful choice.

... Details to follow ...​

The Yanks pulled the Manhattan Project through in a new record time.. but gladly the AI was dumb enough to bomb some 1VP Pacific island or a mountain province in the interior China.

Am I close? ;)
