I invade Florida myself and then take the Oilfields, then drive to take the industry. But, do it your way.

in any case using heavy nucear warfare would transform the battles fro classic ones to guerila ones, as the celtral gouvernment would collapse(provided that the nuke had hit sime of the vital poins of the state), separatist movements would be created, and the quest for food would be greater than the quest for glory 
My point is that it is unrealistic to uke most of the land and after that the remaining army and government to keep on fighting, I propose using more tactical ukes than strategic ones and as less a possible

- I don't really need more oil, I have stockpiles full of it.
- I won't use nukes extensively, I don't have enough of them.
Well, I'll finish the final plan for operation Bifröst tomorrow, then I'll post it here.

i know you don't need oil but supplying the troops with oil from texas instead of tankers sent from europe would make it more realistic

It is a rare event which triggers after Franco-Hitler meeting. It happened only once to me, and never in Gold or Platinum versions (I have no idea if the event is still included). Franco agrees with Hitler alliance proposal, Portugal then hands over its bases and Hitler declares war on completely unprepared America.

Operation Bifröst – planning

Bifröst - painting by Arthur Rackham
The decision to intervene against the United States was made in late 1947. From German perspective a war against the U.S. was not desirable, certainly not so soon after the end of the last world war, but it was necessary. The growing strength of the U.S. economy, improving technology, increasing military, naval and air production, development of the nuclear weapon and the demonstrated willingness to use it first against German ex-allies had persuaded German leaders that the U.S. threat must be eliminated while Germany still had the strength to face it. The decision not to demobilize the armored and mechanized formations after the victory in WW2 had proven to be a very good one.
Throughout early 1948, Germany had begun secret preparations for war. The frequency of field maneuvers had increased, training of new recruits had been intensified, experienced officers and NCOs have been put in charge of new units in order to increase their combat effectiveness. Aside from organization and doctrinal reforms, Wehrmacht received brand new weapons: StG 47 assault rifle for the infantry, which had also adopted new camouflage pattern based on the one previously used solely by the Waffen-SS units, newly designed “main battle tanks”, combining the speed and maneuverability of medium tanks with bigger gun and stronger armor of heavy tanks, for the armored corps, modern tracked armored personnel carriers for the mechanized infantry, new trucks to upgrade general infantry to motorized infantry, jet-powered fighters, interceptors and bombers for the air force and so forth. Even the long neglected navy had been expanded and upgraded with new light cruisers, destroyers and also brand new class of very long range U-Boots.

The chief problem was the American naval superiority. Despite the best Abwehr efforts, Germans were not sure how large was the U.S. Atlantic fleet and what ships it included. They had to hope that Kriegsmarine and its two main fleets, the Carrier fleet and the Surface strike fleet, would be capable of defending their long range transport vessels. For this reason, the invasion would have to be quick; the troops must be landed fast so that the transport ships can get to safety.
Albert Kesselring
The operation Bifröst (the codename was suggested by the Institute of Paranormal Research [formerly Heinrich Himmler’s Institute of Occult Sciences] for unknown reasons and it is not known who exactly had come with it first) would be led by general Albert Kesselring. Kesselring had previously took part in operation Seelöwe and had later served in Britain where he successfully repelled the last desperate American attempts to liberate Britain by landing their troops in eastern and southern England.. It was deemed that he knows both how to conduct amphibious invasions and how to stop them, which could be very useful in this campaign.
Operation Bifröst - plan
After much debate, it was decided that the best place where to invade is the Boston area in Massachusetts. Boston was a major port which would be instrumental for keeping the German forces supplied; also the beaches north and south of the city were reasonably suitable for this kind of amphibious landing. Kesselring’s plan included landing 5 divisions in the first wave, two mountain divisions north of Boston near the towns of Glouchester and Manchester, two marine divisions south near the small port of Plymouth and one marine division at Cape Cod. After receiving reinforcements (2 more mountain divisions and the Fallshirmjägers), these forces would first cut off and then clear up Boston and open its port for German ships. Then the armored, motorized and mechanized units would be shipped in and advance deeper inland. Concurrently with Operation Bifröst, another landing would be made in Bermuda Island chain to secure it as new base of operations for Kriegsmarine and ressupply depot.
Nuclear warhead for German V2-3 ballistic missiles
Göring also made a fateful decision and authorized limited use of nuclear weapons. Despite the opposition from many Wehrmacht generals, who argued that by using nuclear weapons, Germany would “lower itself to the same level of barbarism as the Americans”, Göring came to conclusion that if this invasion was about to succeed, a complete surprise must be achieved. Nuclear weapons, he said, would paralyze the Americans for a period of time long enough to take hold in America. By the time the Americans would realize what happened, German panzers would be rolling through American countryside. On the other hand, he refused the calls of some other officers, usually those coming from Waffen-SS background, to use most of Germany’s modest nuclear arsenal to level every major city on the East Coast and in Great Lakes region to cripple the U.S. economy – which would, as they argued, undoubtedly force the Americans to surrender. “Grossdeutches Reich wants the American cities intact, not in ruins,” he laughed at them during the briefings, “most of them anyway...”

Poor USA. Is there any chance you are going to loose? OR have you already finished, and are just cruelly posting updates slowly

Well, I am gonna switch to the highest possible difficulty and I won't use all forces at my disposal. Perhaps the AI will pull some tricks to slow me down, who knows. I am most afraid that they'll use nukes against my forces in America, that would be bad.

Nah, that would be boring and I would not find the motivation to write more updates. The invasion is about to starts soon.

Small. Few carriers, few pocket battleships and cruisers, mostly light cruisers and destroyers. I hope most of the U.S. fleet is busy enough in Pacific
Considering the techdates in the game shouldn't the Me-262 become heavily outdated by now?

It's an upgraded version, I guess. The next step is supersonic fighter, but that's still at least 3 years from the present game year.
It doesn't really matter, since most of the U.S. air force doesn't even have jet fighters. I am pretty sure I'll blow it out of the sky (-knocking on wood -

Nuclear V2-3 Missile!
Thanks. I am going to include more maps like this later on - I found a font pack with the NATO symbols and I love it
