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