Yikes, looks like the Syndies have got hordes and hordes of divisions across the river. Good luck!
Man, that sure was a lot of killing divisions. First Acapulco, and now this...
I understand you did it to kill their divs and to target only military installations and troops, but putting 6 nukes into the CSA proper would have put their unrest over the top...

Exactly. Hit Washington (or whatever the Syndicalists' capital is) next.rhynoclemmis said:

That would be chicago then.
I would have to stand opposed to any use of nuclear weapons against cities while military targets remain. Destroying the Syndicalist military will allow you to overrun their territory, at which point the liberation of the former United States will be complete. It's best to do so without turning some of its great cities into charnel houses.
Great use of these nukes. You just made this part of North America a wet dream of every Fallout-Fan.
Hmm. But wouldn't they move it back to Washington once they won the war?trekaddict said:

Plus it has more of those nice skyscrapers, making it a testament to the hard labors of the worker.
Awesome job nuking those damned Unionists.
Good luck with the advance into America.

Wow, nice usage of nukes there. Unbelievable though that they still have that many division left. Let's hope that the Plains will provide more support for the panzers than the mountains of Mexico.
Nothing against you dude but this nukeing whas very uneffective. If you threw those nukes on the bigger cities and urban areas of USA, you could achive atleast 70 dissent. Do you want to achive a breaktrough or fully wreck the enmy nation?
@Delex
The reasons for why the nukes went against soldiers and not civilians was, I thought, clearly enough stated in the text.
Anyways, with being moved into college now and all, I have a good bit of free time to update again. Thanks to everyone who's commented.

Mexico has been fully occupied, and the American forces in full retreat, but as they fortified along the Rio Grande, the manpower situation again reared it's ugly head. The two forces were now roughly equal, and the Reichswehr would need more men to gain the initiative. The solution; French divisions.
With well-trained French soldiers at the front, the German Reichswehr could focus the majority of their forces at the Schwerpunkt, the Mexico/Arizona front, where the terrain was most flat and unencumbered by rivers. The more optimistic members of the General Staff had drawn up plans for swinging the war decisively in the German favor in little under a year, also more conservative leaders were skeptical the Reichswehr forces could stretch themselves enough to accomplish the encirclement of the CSA forces in Texas. If successful though, not only would the CSA forces lose a significant amount of divisions, but they would also lose the irreplaceable Texan resources that fueled much of their economy.
La Plata forces in the East meanwhile launched their own landings on American soil, sailing from German Cuba and hitting Syndicalist Florida.
The Syndicalists knew where the most important fronts were however, and launched a massive attack into Baja California, under command of General Guderian. Panzer and Motorized divisions were rushed in support, but it was only once fresh French divisions disembarked (Redirected from landing at Veracruz) that the front was stabilized and move back north.
(Among the valiant French divisions is French Panzer general Charles De Gaulle, commanding the 22nd Corps)
The German advance into CSA territory proper was begun.
Back in the Kaiserreich meanwhile, Wilhelm III headed the "christening" of six Nuclear Carriers, the most powerful war ships to ever grace the oceans. By now, the CSA navy was in shambles, but the floating airbases could still wreak havoc on any land-dwelling structures their planes could reach. It was also a good determent against the Japanese Empire, which had their own formidable Carrier fleet regularly blockading Russian waters.
With the California Operation, unplanned but still being pushed forward, ongoing, the actual main German attack began, and had great success the first few weeks.
When it came to the Rocky Mountains however, American forces were too well situated to easily take and hold the behemoths. Even the top German Mountaineers had to retreat from masses of CSA infantry and newly minted armor.
This setback only delayed the inevitable however, and actually assisted the German war front, as a new path with shorter supply lines, was decided upon. Reichswehr forces, assisted by crack Engineer brigades, stormed over into Eastern New Mexico, breaking through CSA river defenses.
The California front also showed great gains, as the California oil fields, second only to the Texan ones for the CSA, were taken as Sacramento fell to the French-German forces under control of De Gaulle and Guderian.
If the victories in California were due to the CSA shifting as much attention as possible to Texas, it did not show. The General Staff revised their original plan for catching and crushing the Texan pocket, and launched.
(Santa Fe is encircled and falls)
(The CSA nuclear works in Roswell fall, and as much of the facilities as possible are dismantled and sent back to Germany to add to the German facilities there. The CSA is still believed to have several nuclear devices however)
Texan plains prove to be a blessing to German Panzers, and Field Marshals Rommel and Mannstein race down to Houston, capturing vast quantities of oil and prisoners along the way. The Texan pocket is encircled, with Carrier fleets blockading any supply convoys.
With Reichswehr and French forces surrounding them, and the Gulf of Mexico at their backs, twenty four full divisions surrender at Corpus Christi. The numerical advantage is now in the hands of the Reichswehr and MittleEuropa!
A smaller, though no less important encirclement was also achieved in California, as the rest of the state was taken by De Gaulle and Guderian's brilliant panzer tactics.
Past the major CSA static defenses, and with a great deal of CSA raw resource production under German control, the American Plains lied open for the greatest armored charge the world had yet seen. Chicago, capital of the Syndicalist movement in North America, was like Paris almost a decade ago, ripe for plucking. The American Syndicalists had managed to make this war last as long as it had, from the jungles of Africa to the mountains of Mexico, and now was their reckoning.

The man's name is de Gaulle, you might want to edit that.
Guderian and de Gaulles fighting side by side is quite an uncommon sight.
