Japanese forces advance from the coast to the edge of the Rocky mountains, along the border between the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta. Enemy resistance is tough, but so far Japanese troops can handle it.

Japanese troops also attack Spokane, in order to secure the entirety of Washington state from the enemy. Here again, the Americans fight hard to hold their ground, but are eventually pushed out of the city.
battleofspokane.png


So far, it looks as if things are going Japan's way....until new battle reports emerge from eastern British Columbia, which fill Japanese commanders with great anxiety. Japanese advance units run headlong into a HUGE joint US/Canadian counterattacking force, which is charging into the area along the Trans-Canada highway. About 1.3 million enemy troops pound against Japanese lines, forcing them into a full retreat to the west. (also note that the Peruvian army retook Vancouver island, not sure how that happened....)

The Americans push through and march on Vancouver. Japanese units try to hold their ground, but American firepower is too much to handle. Japanese commanders order the city to be abandoned to the American forces, and withdraw back across the 49th parallel into the United States to regroup.

With the situation deteriorating, Japanese commanders try to take some pressure off the main frontlines by invading Alaska. Japanese units are ordered to move on Anchorage, in order to draw away American troops to Alaska, hoping it will make a difference in the main fighting further south.
marchtoanchorage.png


As US forces pour into the region, Japanese troops attack south, moving further into Oregon and even crossing into Northern California.
reddingoregonoffensive.png


Progress is made, but huge US reinforcements then blast Japanese forces out of their new positions. The Americans are highly determined to throw Japanese troops back into the sea, and are not giving Japanese forces any respite from such huge attacks.
siegofklamathfalls.png


Japanese forces launch their own major offensive further north, in order to take some pressure off, but US presence and firepower (especially in the form of massed US Army tank units) is much stronger than anticipated. US reinforcements are everywhere and Japanese troops are becoming bogged down in very bloody battles that the military cannot afford to wage for much longer.

The Americans now expand their counterattack, pushing Japanese forces back out of Northern California. Japanese troops do inflict some heavy casualties on the Americans, but they are unable to hold their ground, including the vital location of Redding Air force base.
battleofredding.png


Back in Spokane, Japanese troops are able to buy some more time by launching huge offensives on US units moving through the area. Reinforcements from Asia are not due to arrive for another week at least, so these kind of counterattacks are going to be very vital in keeping the Americans from rallying their forces for an all out attack on Japanese lines.
usattrition.png


Such attacks are attempted elsewhere along the front, but they have only mixed results. Japanese units take heavy casualties in failed attempts to push the Americans out of Oregon, a presence that greatly threatens the integrity of the entire bridgehead on the American continent.
americanseverywhere2.png


This is especially made evident when American troops begin a large scale counterattack to reclaim control of the entire state. Eugene is lost after Japanese troops are thrown out of the city by powerful American armoured and infantry forces.

More alarming is an attack on occupied Seattle from huge American forces, striking from Canada and the Spokane area against the city. Japanese soldiers are ordered to hold the city at all costs, and dig in for a long siege under American firepower. The Americans attack with everything they have, but eventually Japanese troops are able to force the US Army to withdraw from combat, at least for now. However, it does not come without a price, as Japanese units are taking heavy losses and the city of Seattle itself is turned into rubble by the heavy fighting. If reinforcements do not come soon, the entire Japanese foothold in America could unravel....

Even if their navy has been destroyed, The United States sure is showing why it is considered a global superpower in this war. I don't know if any other single nation, besides maybe Japan, could ever hope to amass THAT much strength. This truly is going to be a titanic struggle between giants.

Really loving this AAR and the World in Conflict photos, one of my favorite games. If only this could be used:

But for New America it might be better to have all the cities in relative existence.

Wow, that's what I'd call fighting enemy invasion! Another great update, I hope you'll manage to hold on American mainland and eventually advance further into enemy territory.

Maybe either launch an invasion somewhere else or do these attacks again to ensure that the US sues for peace (although you want to conquer them) but it is almost impossible it seems to win...good luck anyway!

@History_Buff: Indeed, I am quite pleased they were able to mass so much force to try and stop me. Also, I think if the EF wanted too, it could do similar things....

@Barvinok: Landing in Texas is impossible, especially without the Panama Canal zone in Japanese hands.

@Herbert West: Never played Fallout 2. :D Only played Fallout: Tactics, Fallout 3, and New Vegas.

@everyone else: Thanks for the comments!

After much intense combat with the US Army in the American homeland, Japanese forces are under huge strain. Many units are understrength and disorganized, and casualties from combat with US forces or with local insurgents have greatly sapped Japanese strength.
hugecasualties.png


At long last however, after weeks of fighting alone against the Americans, reinforcements finally arrive. Thousands of fresh Korean soldiers, well armed and veterans of countless battles all over Asia, arrive in Oregon, ready to hurl themselves into the fight.
koreanreinforcements.png


Reinvigorated by the arrival of new units form Asia, Japanese forces start going on the offensive again, probing American lines, trying to find weaknesses which can be exploited. In Oregon's Blue Mountains area, Japanese troops are able to cause intense casualties on the Americans in the area, making sure they are unable to organize any large scale advance.
grindingamericans.png


In Alaska meanwhile, Japanese forces advance by air and sea into Anchorage, a very vital region of the state. It is hoped that with Anchorage taken, the rest of Alaska may soon follow.
fallofanchorage.png


The US Army quickly dashes such hopes. Powerful American reserves strike out of the Alaskan countryside and drive Japanese units out of the city. Wanting to preserve their forces, Japanese units are ordered to withdraw to the eastern Aleutian islands rather than suffer heavy casualties in a lost battle. For now at least, Alaska is out of Japan's grasp.
battleofanchorage.png

Eugene, Oregon, becomes the scene of yet more intense combat between US and Japanese units. Backed with Korean Army reinforcements, Japanese troops grind away at American forces in the area, wearing down their defenses for future advances.
grindingamericans2.png


More reinforcements arrive to the American front. Another batch of Korean troops is offloaded directly into Seattle, where the situation is still very unstable.
morekoreans.png


To try and make sure the Americans do not try to retake Seattle again, pre-emptive advances are made against US-Canadian forces in Vancouver. Like in Oregon, this attack is only temporary, designed to keep the Americans off balance and from launching their own attacks.
grindingamericans3.png


The Blue mountains meanwhile look set to be renamed the Red Mountains, due to all of the blood being shed over them by US and Japanese soldiers.
grindingamericans4.png

6925734779cdbc80bb33z.jpg


After recent heavy battles with the Americans, Japanese commanders are becoming more and more confident, and begin ordering permanent offensives again to take and importantly hold territory. Eugene is retaken by Japanese and Korean soldiers who attack with great fury from the Portland area.
battleofeugene.png


Finally, the Americans attack Seattle once again. Although fighting with fewer units this time, they advance further, and push themselves much harder than before. Japanese-Korean units fight the Americans for every inch of ground, knowing that losing Seattle could be disastrous for the entire war effort on the American front. After very intense fighting and some near American breakthroughs however, the US Army withdraws from combat. Seattle is once again held, but this time just barely, and at very great cost as well. If something decisive does not happen soon, Japan's armies, and those of its allies, could be ground away by relentless American attacks, and the entire war in North America could end in disaster....

Solution: Nuke your enemy into oblivion. It'd not only reduce manpower and industry for the Americans, it'd reduce their morale significantly.

Do you have any airbases?

Do you have any airbases you could deploy?

You desperately need to destroy their units, not just defeat them, and the best way is, barring overruns, which are not possible, air cover.

Hurray for reinforcements! Without them, Japanese would not be able to hold on in American mainland...in fact, even with their help, invasion force barely managed to hold on...Americans must have mobilized everything they got, they are really powerful!
