I am well aware of the Irony, but I stand by my analysis as a student of Contemporary Military History - I've read into insurgencies and I am full well aware that despite losing their army at Sedan in 1870, the French people fought the German invader tooth and nail through the following 12 months before their final capitulation. The actions of Maquisards during WW2 and so on. This country has an extremely strong sense of nationalism, and it's people are willing to die for their creed. I'm not saying you'll see syndicalist resistance, but I'd hand any puppet government some severe penalties (perhaps cores only on Urban centres, with the countryside simply being a no-go of 'occupied' territory and the associated revoltrisk.)

More in the Final French Lose Franco Prussian War,this time will not be different :) .And the French in WWI have an EPIC army,who halted the german invader,this is a FACT:D

What is it with you and FACTS? :D About French Army in WWI thought, by the end of the war the french army was about to collapse, without US Intervention it would have either a) been ground to dust or b) mutinied again. Either way, they would have been screwed without US entry in to the war. (Fun fact, after WWI there was talk about legalising Polygamy in France because so many men had been lost in the war.)

Gupka,

Without the BEF (Mons and all that) there would be no miracle of the Marne, thus Paris Falls, thus France goes nuts and the war ends even before the AEF is capable of finding Europe in a map.

Europe is one of those poor countries in Africa, right? Next to Mexico and Greece.

Nah, Europe is a kind of cheese. The poor country in Africa between México and Greece and next to Vietnam is Monaco.

Thanks for comments everyone! Many interesting ideas and discusions, altough no to Franco-Canadian Union and Catalonia-Occitania. France is too important factor to be merged with other states and UK should be restored in most pomponous way possible to celebrate return of the royalists. Also no to Balkanization of France, CoF was enemy country but Franco-Canadians of Nationalist French origin are devoted UNA allies and important factor inside Canadian reality. Sorry for late and short update, but let me repay myself with promise that I won't let this AAR to finish too soon. Some narrative additions, ingame surprises and post-war setup making will make this story a bit longer and also more rich with information.



General's log, report 18

Indonesia is quickly losing large chunks of its territory to invading UNA forces. Australasian and Japanese forces are the most credited for successful campaigns, altough other East Asian allies are also providing some good assistance.

war234.jpg



Nightmare fleet strikes again, this time near the Gran Canaria. Imperial Mexican Navy loses entire fleet in this battle. However, UNA swallows the bitter taste and looks towards the future. Time is doing in UNA favour as Syndicalists are losing more and more ports every day. Soon, those strong remaints of great enemy navies will have no place to hide as they will be forced to take shelter in the single remaining bastion of Syndicalism that will be left after destruction of Syndicalist presence in the continent.

war238.jpg



Time for destruction of continental Syndicalists is here quicker than it was expected. Breaktrough trough the strong defense line at Pyrenees brings chaos to Iberian peninsula. Large organized forces are collapsing after suffering the shock at Pyrenees while locally organized militias have not much to offer except their bravery. UNA forces, crawling trough the Pyrenees in mass, flood Iberian peninsula. Madrid becomes the island in the hostile sea first and is then taken care of by iron hand of General Steiner who captures the city after devastating battle that leaves much of Madrid in ruins.

war240.jpg


war241.jpg


war242.jpg



What was Spain and Portugal once and Iberian Anarchist Federation after is now crawled with UNA forces which ocupy every piece of land. Even the insular possessions are eventually taken by small invasion forces from air and sea, erasing pan-Iberian anarchist federation from political reality. Eager Portugese leadership decides not to waste a single moment and quickly returns to still unstable mainland, declaring liberation of homeland after decades of exile in Africa. Despite CNT-FAI declares underground war in typical style of defeated Syndicalist forces, Union of Britain with its Icelandic protectorate called Socialist Republic of Iceland is the only real Syndicalist force in the world left. However, UNA is aware that the toughest nut was left for the end.

Gukpa,

Is there any historical topic that you comment in this thread that you know a bit about it?

Because, AGAIN, you have no idea of what you're talking about. By the time that the revolution sprang in Germany, the Kaiserschlacht and the rest of the German offensives in the West had failed some months ago.

What you've written resembles too closely to the nazi propaganda of the Dolchstoßlegende and that angers me to no end.

Tell me how the hell was Luddendorff to stop the Allies Offensives. Tell me why, if the German army was so capable of stopping the Allies, Luddendorff himself asked Berlin for an armistice. Luddendorf asking for an ARMISTICE!!!

Yes, I'm furious.

I'll continue to skirt the premises of this discussion, and point out that if he changed revolts to US entry, he'd be about correct.

And sorry to say but the way you put it does sound rather propagandish Gukpa.

Returning to the topic. I never thought that the FAI would go down so quickly...

I hope that the usual guerrillas doesn't erupt in the Spanish fashion that Napoleon "enjoyed" so much :p

So, Portugal is finally liberated and continental Europe is finally cleared of the Syndicalists. Good job to Canada and its valiant UNA allies.

Now, its time to get ready for the final Battle. The Battle of Europe is over, the Battle of Britain is about to begin....good luck.

Kinda makes me wonder then what happened to the Spanish Monarchy? Maybe they found a good home in Mexico, or La Plata, or Colombia in this scenario? Would the Spanish accept them coming back to rule in a constitutional monarchy system like Canada has? After so many years of Syndicalist rule, I kinda wonder if the Spanish would be willing to accept it, then again, Syndicalist rule and republicanism would not have been as long established in Spain as it would have been in a place like Italy, could be neat to see the Spanish monarchy come back if that seems realistic enough.
