Oveview of the attack on Soviet Union. My mobile divisions are advancing as planned, meeting to resistance so far.
139.png


Doing an amphibious assault on Marinique.
140.png


The defending Soviet forces of Kubyshevka-Vostochnaya got reinforced by a another INF division.
141.png


Transporting 12 MIL divisions to Korea. Will use them for anti-partisan duties in China.
142.png


Soviet Union stole a blueprint from me; "Battle Fleet Concentration". Here is also overview of Soviet Union intelligence- They have 109 INF and 4 ARM divsions, while waging a two-front war against me and the Axis. It is only a matter of time, but I also want to take as much land as possible because I plan on declaring war on the axis in not the to far distant future.
143.png


Two CVs finished, two more soon finished, and then two BBs also soon finished.
144.png


Victory in the attack on Kubyshevka-Vostochnaya.
145.png


Took Martinique. Still some islands to go.
146.png


Another fresh Soviet division reaches Kubyshevka-Vostochnaya, and my two INF divisions attacking are struggling.
147.png


I stop the attack on Kubyshevka-Vostochnaya.
148.png


Strategic Redeploying 4 puppet CAV divisions, doing anti-partisan duties in China, to the front line.
149.png


Also Strategic Redeploying a puppet INF division to the frontline from China.
150.png


Strategic Redeploying two INF divisions around Vladiostok province to Nikolsk-Ussurisky.
151.png


Setting into production Capital Fire Control for my two BBs which finish production soon.
152.png


I am sending a landing fleet to Washington to pick up two INF divisions to do an amphibious assault on St. John's. It is no longer defended, so I did not need any MAR or more INF divisions for the assault.
153.png


Attacking Gavan. Could do a small encirclement now.
154.png


The MIL and few GAR I transported from main islands have arrived to Canada. I then Strategic Redeploy them around USA and Canada for anti-partisan duties.
155.png


On the Transport fleets way back to Japan, I loaded a GAR division on from Victoria which I let of at Queen Charlotte.
156.png


Setting into production Nuclear reactor, important to remember. But will probably have a quite delayed nuclear bomb because I am so behind on the research.
157.png


Strategic redeploying 3 INF divisions to Kalakan.
158.png


The two INF divisions from Washington are loaded abour the landing fleet, and set on its way to St. John's.
159.png


Overview of the attack on Soviet Union. They currently have 185 IC.
160.png


Sinking a UK transport ship outside St. John's.
161.png


St. John's is under Japanese control.
162.png


Overview of the front between Axis and Soviet Union. The Axis forces are not advancing fast, which is good for me.
163.png


My Shore Bombardment fleet got attacked by UK SUBs. I won the battle, and no ships were sunk.
164.png


Looks like the Battleship in the fleet got badly damaged! Useless Battleships, hehe. But I also found out I should not add torpedoes to BBs as their firing range gets worse from it. I am going to look up if the same applies to screens.
165.png


Attacking Abakan as it has 30% infrastructure, and there is a Soviet division there I could defeat.
166.png


Victory in the attack on Ekimchan.
167.png


Attacking Urumqi.

Moving in the force that is going to attack Mexico from the sea. The troops at the border are already ready for the attack.
169.png


Attacking Nakhodka.
170.png


These are the two Victory-Point provinces of Mexico, but I don't want to annex Mexico, as I need some puppets for giving me some allied divisions in the help of defending the empire, and attacking the Axis eventually. A tiny bit worried about the manpower in the Axis vs Japan war to be honest. I can't wage a attrition war that is for sure.
171.png


Declaring war on Mexico, and attacking all over the front and Veracruz from the sea.
172.png


Overview of the attack on the US/Mexico border. The attacks are all going really good, and little resistance is met.
173.png


Victory in the attack on Urumqi, also destroying two Xinjiang GAR divsions.
174.png


Strategic Redploying divisons that are not needed in the attacks on Xinjiang, Mongolia and Tannu Tuva as to the fronts against the Soviet fronts further north. I am doing more of these Strategic Redeployments I am not having pictures from.
175.png


Attacking the Xinjiang province of Karamay.
176.png


My amphibious attacking on Veracruz succeeded, and the landing forces are attacking further in to Mexico City to capture all VP-provinces.
177.png


Attacking Oyrat-Tura.
178.png


Doing a small amphibious assault with 2 INF divisons on Petropavlov in the far east-north of Soviet Union.
179.png


Finished researching "Multi-Role Fighter 1943", while I could also research "Multi-Role Fighter 1945" without "Practical Turbojet Engine", I am feeling "1945 Infantry Division" is more important to research next.
180.png


Adding into production 4 series of "Multi-Role Fighters" (FTR). I made a series of 8, and I think 32 should be the least needed minimum before a war with the Axis. Also need some more "Interceptor Fighters" (INT), but not as many. I currently have 7 INT in my airforce, and no FTR.

Attacking Ust-Kut and Neametny to help out the defending divisions in Bodaybo.
189.png


Gavan is mine, and a Soviet ARM divisions is trapped.
190.png


The defending forces in Bodaybo succeed, I let them support attack Ust-Kut.
191.png


The attack on Mexico is going good. Soon Mexico City is under Japenese control.
192.png


Attacking Elban.
193.png


Destroyed two Soviet divisions in Valdivostok. I also stop the attack on the province, because I don't want to capture is as it is a VP-province, and I don't want Germany to annex Soviet Union before I have had as much land as possible.
194.png


Strategic Redploying two INF divisions to Bodaybo.
195.png


My landing fleet outside Venezuela is being attacked by a British fleet with 2 CVs and 3 BBs.

Adding into production a series of ENG-brigades. I want to add ENG on all mobile divisions, and also at some INF/MTN divisions that will be used for river crossings.
202.png


Attacking Ghulja.
203.png


Adding into prodcution a series of provincial AA. They will be added to provinces with the war on the Axis in mind.
204.png


Adding into production Land Forts in these 3 provinces, also adding more infrastructure into production in the same provinces giving them all 100%. These provinces will be key defensive positions in the war on the Axis, using neutral Afghanistan to shorten the front. I also want to drive the Axis into 10% infrastrcture provinces, and lets see? Maybe bomb the infrastructure with Strategic Bombers or something like that. Not sure how to wage the war, maybe there will be an offensive through Soviet Union also. I am anyways planning on taking out Southern America (puppet Brazil and Argentina) and take out UK + Ireland first. Should I consider puppeting UK?

Adding into produciton 2 series of Air Bases.

My landing fleet outside Venezuela is being attacked by the same UK fleet again. This time my landing fleet has 4 MAR onboard, I try to retreat the attack as fast as possble.
208.png


I win the naval battle without any ships lost on any of the sides.

Mexico City is under Japanese control, I could have now annexed Mexico, but I want to puppet it, so I can have som allied divisions to help me out.
211.png


I have a Warscore at +58%, I need 70% for puppeting Mexico, so need to capture some more land.
212.png


A retreating divison appeared in Biysk, I attack it with 3 MOT divisions that are in a bordering province. The attack on Kzyzyl is also going good.

Success. Mexico is now a japanese puppet. My next goal is to take out the Central American countries south of Mexico.
217.png


I have taken both Jamaica and Cayman Islands from UK, they were both undefended. The 4 MAR divisions rebase back to Miami making them ready for the next amphibious assault which will probably be in Central America.

Overview of the Eastern Soviet Union. I am taking a lot of Soviet land.
219.png


Adding into production 5 series of 2 with convoy transports, as I currently have 0 in the pool.

Annexing Guatemala. I was hoping it went to Mexico to make them a bit stronger IC wise, but it went to me.
245.png

Finished researching "Regimental Combat Teams". Next up I research "Combined Arms Defense", which deactives "Mechenized Offensive", the latter only gives bonuses to "Mechenized Infantry" which I am not going to use, because of it is so cost so much IC to produce.

Here goes the defensive line now. Norilsk, marked with green circle, can only be reached from the east. My plan is to let German/Axis divisions to pour into Manjiang and then destroy them there. I was thinking about doing the main attack on the Axis from Europe after first defeating UK.

Adding into production 6 series of INF divisions. I need more divisions for the war on Axis. I will add quite many INF divisions with ART brigades, but I will probably focus heavily on ARM divisions and also making some more MTN and MAR divisions. I have less Manpower than Germany alone, so I am a bit worried, and I need to have a good battleplan.

Tayshey is revolting. I also got the "Results of Investments in National Research" giving me the blueprints for "1948 Infantry Division" and "Production Scheduling", quite happy with the result, but I really wanted to get the blueprint for "Nuclear Reactor Operability".

Liberate and puppet countries

Which made me think, I should probably done the same. I think I maybe never liberated countries before (done through Diplomacy tab, on Japan tab), but it makes a lot of sense now. The reason is that I need more divisions for war and my manpower is close to it limits already, and by having puppets they can make divisions from their own manpower pool. Should have done it before though! Right after the war on USA was over, but better late that never I guess. There are two countries I plan on liberate; India and China, because they both have quite good IC and a lot of Manpower. Still have to wait for the "Investment in National Research" decision to come back with blueprints before I will do it.



Success in the naval landing on the coast of Peru, and the landing divisions attack Lima.

Liberate and puppet India

I am ready for liberating India. First I claim the provinces I don't want to end up in the new India puppet. Saved the game, and liberated and then loaded up to know what ended up as India, and then I claimed the provinces I wanted to keep as Japanese. So the islands outside India I want to keep.
340.png


And these provinces, all without any IC (Kathmandu would not end up Indian even though I have marked it on the map). I want to keep the provinces under Japanese control if I should want to build infrastructure there, which I most likely will not do.

My dissent is down to 0%. I focus IC towards "Supplies" instead of "Upgrades". I have been emptiying my supplies stockpile, so need to fill it up again. And also, I don't want to spend to much IC into upgrades yet. I first want to research some technologies 1948 technolgies (at least "Infantry Division"), this because if the division is 2 technologies behind, they get a huge upgrade bonus for the first upgrade. I am not going to war with the Axis anytime soon. I see I will need time, otherwise I will never have a chance. I think maybe spring of 1949 as a good timing.

I get the blueprints for "Missile Destroyer" and "Logistical Strike Doctrine" through "National Research". In the picture you can also see the provincial improvement progression in Gwadar. I have added 10 AA and 4 Radar, and also Air Bases to the province.

Liberate and puppet China.

Getting ready for liberating and puppeting China. First I claim the provinces I don't want to give to my new puppet. All provinces do not have any IC, except one with an IC level of 1.

12th April 1946 - 4th June 1946

Declaring war on, and attacking, Bolivia. Need only to capture one province, the capital Nuestra Senora de La Paz.

Another island is revolting. I will ignore it for now.

Doing another "National Research" to get down dissent.

Producing two levels of infrastructure in Karamay, giving it 30%. I will have to attack into Karamay to if I want to cut of divisions by closing a pocket I will use to lure the enemy into.

Adding into production more series of ship attachments to produce them faster.
379.png


Finished researching "Advanced Anti-Tank Artillery". Next up I research "Mass Destruction Doctrine".
380.png


Finished researching "Nuclear Power Production", the last level of Nuclear Research under Industrial tab. Now I just need to get the Secret Weapon decision for "Nuclear Waste Bomb". Next up I research "Home Defense Doctrine".
381.png


Also add into production another Nuclear Reactor.
382.png


Annexed Bolivia after capturing their capital.

The 3 BCs have finished production.

"Theoretical Breakthrough" for "Nueclear Battleship Propulsion". It is a technology far into the future, so nothing I can research anytime soon. I will probably not want to build more Battleships anyways.

My landing fleet outside Chile is being attacked by 32 Chilean ships!

I immidietialy retreat. I did not think Chile had such a big navy.

Sending my main CV fleet to the coast of Chile. Should have had it there already.

Finished researching "ASW 1945". Next up I research "Front-line Veichle Repair Shop".
389.png


Finished researching "Home Defense Doctrine". Next up I research "Recon Skirmisher Doctrine".

I prolong 12 of the 24 series of Destroyers I have in production. My plan is to make 4 CV fleets and 1 BB/BC/CV fleet. The CV fleets will have 4 CVs, 4 CAs, and the rest will be Destroyers, so need quite many of them. Also Germany has many SUBs, so I want many Destroyers. 4 CVs is more than Germany has in their whole navy, think it is maybe like 1.
391.png


Adding into production a serial run of HQs.
392.png


Finished researching "Night StrafingDoctrine". Next up I research "Advanced Heavy Cruiser", think it maybe was a bad decision as I have a really strong navy already so will most likely not produce any more ships except Destroyers, and maybe Escort Carrier for Submarine hunts.

I finally caught up with this AAR. Great job, though I fear your chances against Germany aren't that great. For one, you'll need to cover all the 'Barbarossa' lands before you can actually enter Germany proper, so their production capacity will be intact for many months of the war. They currently overwhelm you in sheer numbers (and manpower, and allies, and everything, and trust me when I say their technology will be more advanced).
On the whole, I think you've spent way too many resources (and time) on militia units, and you started releasing puppets very late in the game. Also, puppetting Mexico like you did has the advantage of conserving any and all army it still had left, but when you annex/release a puppet you get the bonus of their technology being on par with yours, so (especially for smaller countries, who research things at a much slower pace), it actually helps you more to annex, and release, than to simply puppet.
I'm writing this in hope it'll help you with your future conquests (in South Africa, for example).
Still, awesome job so far, and I loved the idea of an early(ish) invasion of the US
 
Good stuff, read it in a couple of days.

Any chance you will continue it?

I think I did a few wrongs in the end. Not releasing puppets fast enough, and I did not know about the technology buff if releasing puppets compared to puppet them from the start. I also built to much MIL, and building the MIL at all since GAR has better suppression. And probably built to much of a navy also, probably would have been enough with only CVs and DDs built. I also forgot to research the nuclear technologies etc. So I will never win a war against Germany I think. Not planned for it enough.

Glad you enjoyed the read though. And really happy about taking out USA.

I recently have tried playing as Japan again too try it out a bit. For me the Japan world conquest still looks like the most interesting. I played a game with Germany where I built 8 CVs, 4 CAs, 12 DDs by end of 1941, while also taking out Soviet Union, and then launching a Sea Lion right after I took Soviet Union in 1942, but it just gets a bit boring from there because so overpowered.

I am thinking about making a new AAR for Japan. I have been playing with Japan a few more times now, and I think I might have a lot better strategy, going for a huge CAV army, and mobile warfare doctrine. I will release China as a puppet after conquering it (I was stupid not doing it in the first game), and same with releasing India as a puppet, this will give me extra troops which I will need if I will try to take out Germany and a total world conquest.
