To be quite honest with you, 1st FLQ Brigade, sometimes I think the french should have won the French and Indian war as well. Rock on

Those intruguing collaborationist units make me wonder how would final picture of this world look like if SCO was successful in total fulfilment of their goals. Maybe we'd need parallel AAR featuring SCO gameplay in style of Red Alert alternate campagins for that. 
To: Kurt_Steiner: They probably aren't putting enough IC into reinforcements. Then again, I am hitting them very hard, so its going to be difficult for them to replace losses even if they were allocating enough IC for it. I have been putting alot of IC into my own reinforcement efforts and I still have lots of units that are badly understrength. (especially in my poor air force...)
To: Hax: They are neutral. I forgot all about them when I was making alliances, and they are a small country so I didn't really care about what happened to them.
To: Duke of Awesome: I might, but I am bleeding manpower alot as well, and if losses keep mounting I would eventually run out, then it could get very difficult. I am hampered as well by this mod's manpower system, which follows the default DH version of mobilization phases (even though I don't think I have seen any mobilization events for any country so far) instead of the KR version of steady manpower growth.
To: Asalto: Maybe for an encore?
To: Everyone: thanks for the comments!
The Battle of America, Part 10
After having liberated Kentucky and most of Tennessee from Russian occupation, the Joint Chiefs see an opportunity to deal a massive blow to the Russian forces on the eastern front. The plan: to punch through enemy lines in the Appalachian mountains, and drive hard for the Atlantic coast in South Carolina, thus splitting the enemy forces in two and trapping thousands of enemy troops in the south. The plan is approved by the President, and the offensive begins immediately.
The US Air Force joins in the assault, with General Granger hammering the enemy defenses in Knoxville with all of the heavy bombers and ground support planes he has at his disposal. Enemy losses mount under the guns of the US Army and the bombs of the Air Force, and their lines begin to falter.
A smaller offensive is undertaken in West Virginia. Here, American air cavalry will attempt to encircle the enemy by moving behind their main lines, followed by an all out assault against those trapped enemy brigades to force their surrender then link up with the air cavalry which would result in the liberation of West Virginia and the positioning of significant American troops in the mountains, thus securing the state from an enemy counterattack.
Unfortunately, the plan falls apart. As soon as American air cavalry and infantry enter Clarksburg, they are counterattacked on all sides by Russian forces. With no hope of breaking through, the American troops withdraw back to Pittsburgh.
In response to the American offensives on the eastern front, the enemy is increasing its pressure in other regions. In the northwest, Chinese forces break through American lines and enter North Dakota. Using these flanking positions, the Chinese start attacking Canadian troops in southern Manitoba, with the goal of reaching Winnipeg, Canada's provisional capital and one of the few cities still left in Canadian hands. Pressured from all sides it does not look good for the beleaguered Canadian defenders.
American forces then come to the rescue. The enemy drive into North Dakota leaves the Chinese rearguard exposed. American forces coordinate with Canadian troops in southern Saskatchewan to cut off the enemy supply routes and encircle the Chinese troops in North Dakota. The pocket is soon closed by North Dakota National Guard units, which by now are suffering badly from the effects of constant bloody battles on this sector of the front.
The American offensives on the eastern front pick up steam. Knoxville is liberated from Russian occupation and American troops surge forward into North Carolina, facing growing Russian resistance. In West Virginia, American forces hit the enemy head on after the attempted encirclement from Pittsburgh failed, gaining ground against the weakening Russian forces.
A much smaller American offensive takes place in Alabama, where American troops push the enemy out of most of the state. Of particular note is the presence of both Chinese and Turkish units in this sector of the front, having travelled a long way to try and prop up their Russian allies. They help draw out the battle by sending in more and more reinforcements, but eventually the enemy is pushed out.
The Chinese defeat in North Carolina managed to slow down the assault on Winnipeg, but the enemy does not stop. Their troops continue to enter the region from the north and west, making slow but steady progress against the depleted Canadians. US forces are sent to Manitoba to prop up the Canadian forces, hoping that it will be enough to hold back the Chinese assault.
To try and draw off the American pressure in the central appalachians, the Russians launch a very strong counterattack on exposed American units in western Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh, which had only just recently been liberated, is besieged on 3 sides by the Russian army, which has brought in other reinforcements to aid their depleted forces that were already present in the region. The city takes heavy damage from Russian artillery and tank fire, and Russian troops begin to make slow progress in retaking it from American forces.
The main American offensive into North Carolina hits very tough Russian resistance in the mountains of Ashville. Russian troops do not give up ground very easily, but they take heavy losses trying to hold the line. The American offensive keeps hammering their lines until they start to buckle....
Then break. Russian forces are driven out of Asheville and American troops punch through their lines. With their forces in disarray, the road to the Atlantic coast lies wide open. American forces surge through the gap, ordered not to stop until they reach the ocean.
With the road mostly clear it does not take long. General Sheppard's troops are the first American units to enter Columbia, South Carolina, and take up positions facing the Atlantic Ocean. The American offensive has succeeded, and the enemy is now split in two! Having achieved this breakthrough, the American army now prepares to seal the fate of the Russian invasion force, by shrinking and then crushing the pocket that has now been made in the southeastern United States. Morale surges through the American ranks, as the drive to the Atlantic coast has signaled the decisive turning point of the war. There is nothing the Russians can do to stop the American army now!

General Sheppard's March to the Sea!
America shall win the Great Patriotic War, and we shall see the Russian menace pushed to the oceans!
...Of course that final line is ominous as hell.

Why do I get the feeling that you are going to prove that particular line wrong?
I vote we make George Takei the Emperor of Japan when we liberate it. Yes? Yes.

I vote yea as well. If I remember right, Japanese imperial family (at least closest ruling circle) was eliminated by cruel occupiers and some more distant relative should take the throne in case of liberation. Who exactly this relative might be, I don't know, but it would be indeed nice to see more familiar faces.
Updated list of fan-made motions:
1. Alternate RA-style scenario
2. George Tekei in free Japan
3. Win this game like a boss
I look forward to these updates all day! This is a great AAR. I think that while this March to the sea is a huge victory, there is a massive mountain to now climb. Those guys will still unfortunately be supplied by sea, and Montgomery looks like it's going to be a b*tch and a half to take. However this was the critical first step. Reclaiming the heavily populated east will definitely assist with the manpower issues
This is sometimes known in the literary world as 'foreshadowing'

You know, I actually thought you had a very slim chance of winning. Seems you have turned things around and consider this American living under Chinese Occupation inspired once again! I do wonder what would have happened to me in this time line. Its just a weird thing to think about XD
Why did you include that final line? Now I'm afraid you'll have your armor cut off and dismantled. I'll be honest, I'm skeptical you can keep such a large salient against hte Russians, especially with the Chinese coming to reinforce.
"Sheppard's dashing Yankee boys will never reach the coast!"
So the saucy Ivans said and 'twas a handsome boast
Had they not forgot, alas! to reckon with the Host
While we were marching through Georgia.
