I still have to make two more posts to show everything, but here are the overall results. Up to my current stop date.

This should actually have been the first pic of the opening of the war against UoB. Somehow I missed it.
THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN
With most of the combat ships in the USN laid up for repairs and upgrades, MacArthur expected a short respite for his troops. However the troops in the European and African theaters saw wave after wave after wave of air attacks. There were 2 wings of fighters and 1 wing of interceptors in North Africa, but only 1 wing of each in Britain. The attacks became so furious and covered so many provinces that the air corps finally ordered the ftr escorts to enter the fray(necessitating the bomber wings to be there). Even this extra coverage proved insufficient. thus 16 more interceptor squadrons(4 wings) and 24 more ftr squadrons (6 wings) were ordered and given priority.

With the US Navy freshly repaired and with new brigades attached, and old ones upgraded the time has come to continue the campaign to unite all humanity under one benevolent ruler. Since it is winter, our attention will turn to the campaign in the south Pacific. Germany air and naval bases, including Sri Lanka, will be seized for keeps this time. Then the final push will begin against Australia.
Sorry for the long delay, but I beta test for the devs and was busy checking the newest patch. Now that it is out, we can resume.
I started these aa brigades during the height of the battle of Britain. The air war continues, but it is less furious now since I have more fighters, aa, radar, and now these brigades. Hopefully the ai will get the message.
Italy tries to sneak a BB past my sub blockade.
He would have been better off staying in port
Marines under General Farrell begin the task of knocking the Australians out of the war.
After taking Darwin, he moves next door to Katherine. Australia has a lot of beach provinces.
The Germans send a CL and a DD out after my sub blockade.
Again my subs are victorious.
Since Perth lacks a beach, my marines are ordered to attack collie. That coastal fort would have made more sense in collie than Perth.
Alice Springs is a strategic province. It's location allows supporting attacks against a large number of provinces.
More marines seize Brisbane forcing this small fleet out to sea.
Farrell's marines continue their long march across northern Australia.
Lt General Patch leads the assault to capture Perth.
Retreating Australian marines attempt to turn back General Farrell in Cairns.
The expected quick strike to capture Alice Springs is drawn out longer than expected.
More Australians reinforce the province of Alice Springs. General Marshall continues the attack in hopes of gaining the province while it's position is still relevant.

More troops join the battle for Alice Springs. The Aussies seem to be willing to sacrifice many lives to hold it.
Having pacified the northern coastline, General Farrell turns south.
General Simpson seizes Rockhampton forcing these ships into the path of a waiting CTF.
Patch is ordered to capture the Australian capital. Capitulation cannot be far off.
General Simpson gains the Ranger trait defending Rockhampton.
General Emmons encounters motorcycle troops during his breakout from the coast.
Two leg infantry divisions spring up after the cavalry retreat.
Stubborn defenders in Alice Springs still refuse to admit defeat.
General LeJune assaults Robe en-route to Adelaide.
The OSS has managed to topple the French regime, though they drop out of the war they remain clients of the Kaiser.
The largest battle yet takes place in an unimportant desert province.
Hickey takes New Zealand. Resistance is sparse at best.
Weary defenders fight to the last man. Australians will make a worthy addition to the American Hegemony.
The valiant Australians finally surrender.
With Australia now part of the union, general Farrell is ordered to subdue the Indonesians. They have been bombing our troops in the Philippines, Since we are in the neighborhood, time to knock on their door.
The Dutch are raiding convoys a little to close to home allowing them to be located. Admiral Burke is dispatched to handle them.
Doolittle softens them up until Burke arrives
At the rate you're sinking German ships, I'm not even sure they have a navy anymore xD
@Mastahcheef117, They surprise me every so often. Actually their airforce is still causing me grief. Their naval bombers have sunk several carriers and damaged several more.
@Davisx3m, That is the plan. MacArthur has decided to unite the entire world under one government. He brings all of the best scientists in the world to the US to collaborate; making the US likely the most advanced nation in the world. You are on the KR team? Maybe you can answer a question for me? Why are the non aggression pacts between the US and the rest of the western hemisphere included in KR? Thanks for making this great mod!

Well you certainly are conquering the world rather quickly. Keep up the conquering!
This update sees an end to the Entente. 2/3 of India annexed including Nepal and Bhutan. Also Libya is brought into the American hegemony. There are fewer and fewer naval battles which is a good thing since it is so difficult to build replacements. I started building replacements before I started my overseas adventures, but many are still building. Build times are definitely too long. The US built ships in a much shorter time frame during the war.
"...And seeing the breadth of his domains MacArthur wept, for there were no more lands to conquer, until a certain Dr. Goddard proved him wrong."
"And MacArthur bestrode the continent like a colossus and into the twin Rubicons of the Atlantic and Pacific tossed his dice, and the waters and the world were set afire and out of the fire strode Columbia, triumphant and beautiful." - Robert Frost (ATL)
