Goddammit England, even South Africa's passed you in IC! That's two former colonies more useful than you!

Update XV - August 1, 1938 - October 1, 1938
Good news everyone!
So, I was planning on doing an update over the weekend, but I ended up getting a new computer. So I've been spending a lot of time installing things and such. For example, my I've only about 1/3rd of my Steam games installed so far. But as a result of this, I can now run the mod much faster. Before there was probably a 5 second or so lag every time the day changed ingame. But now thats turned into a fraction of a second. So now it won't take me 2 hours to play two months, instead taking about 20 minutes. Which of course means I'll be much more willing to do updates more often!
So anyway, to the update.
In Soviet Sweden, Paradox interacts you! But its just Russia, not Soviet Russia, so that doesn't really make sense. And how does Paradox interact you? I really didn't think that joke out too well. But anyway, long story short, Sweden annexed by Russia.
India finally finishes off Lebanon and Palestine, who had been sitting there in their luxurious villas overlooking the Mediterranean, or something. Not like they were doing much the last few updates. England probably had been coming to join them on vacations instead of conquering Scotland.
In sad news, Deutsch Deutsch Revolution is defeated. Republican Spain occupies Berlin, putting an end to their shenanigans.
Down goes Guangxi. This officially means Sinkiang is granted the title of King of the Warlords. Hopefully this will be enough to defend them from the inevitable conquest by either China or India.
Finally, Italy annexes Bulgaria. The only reason it took them so long is because it turns out they had signed a peace treaty earlier which I forced them to break. Oh Italy, what wacky antics will you get yourself into next?
Breakthrough by Spain. They are into Northern Italy, which is of course where a large portion of the Italian IC is. Looks like its the beginning of the end for Italy. Though it does appear that Italy has pushed the Russians back a bit in the Balkans. Italy has crossed the Bosporus, but as a result have met up with Indian forces coming from the east. India has also reached the Suez, and should be crossing into Africa next update. Oh, and England still does nothing.
South Africa can into east Africa. Not much else to report here.
The epic Russo-Indian war continues, with a relative stalemate so far as the two continue to fight over Central Asia and the Caucasus region. Sinkiang, King of the Warlords is now sandwiched between three great powers. Lets see how long that lasts! China continues to push the Japanese out, reducing their holdings in the south, while also starting to push them out of Manchuria. Japan meanwhile has made another landing at Saigon, while Siam is doing their best to hold out against India. And the Philippines are just hanging trying not to be noticed by anyone else and be left alone. Japan has made another landing in Australia, occupying Perth. Anyone reading this AAR from Perth is now officially Japanese. And Japan has taken Singapore and half of Sumatra.
Finally the boring Americas, where nothing much has happened.

Nepal's STILL not dead yet? Good for them. Together with Scotland, Guatemala etc. I'm surprised at how long some of these small states have been able to last.
I see the USA conquering South America next then if they can island hop they will take out the Atlantic islands and then they will move on Japan. Btw the reason the USA won at the start is that most of the major IC is in the area they controled at the start of the game. Its pretty unfair but that is how it was in ww2.
England will become a fortress if it continues to just sit there and drink tea and eat crumpets.. What the hell are they doing that is so exciting to not invade those kilt-wearing gingers to the North.
I am going to predict that Russia will not survive the triple-way war crunched between Spain, India and China.
Yeah. I'm also afraid of that. On top of all that, Spain by now should control nearly entire European IC.
Why won't the US do anything!?
Guatemala should be a speed bump at most, not something that halts progress for two updates.

The AI might not be programmed to value distant lands much? Or maybe the US of Omnomnom are at peace with Guatemala......
That being said, it would now be time for NAVY ACTION!!!! Especially for the US, who could utterly dominate the seas, given that their continent is secure...
I think the US is just being a sneaky isolationist again. They conquered what they wanted and now they really dont care no more
If you look at the map the US do have a substantial number of divisions heading towards the Guatemalan border so it could just be that they've been slow moving the units into position.
I do believe that to be the case. Last time I checked they only had in the range of 7-9 units there, about even with the Guatemalans in their capital. And of course Guatemala also has the Yucatan, so the US AI probably doesn't want to attack until it has more numbers.
Update XVI - October 1, 1938 - December 1, 1938
The Chinese manage to make it all the way up to Magadan the final victory point held by Primorsk. So Japan, who control Vladivostok annexes them. Now Japan and China can fight it out over Manchuria.
Mighty Guatemala falls to the Americans. Now its up to Honduras to put an end to the Americans warmongering ways. No pressure, Honduras.
Russia absorbs Siberia. And now its an epic Russo-Indian-Chinese battle across Asia.
India annexes Turkey, meaning Indian forces are now just outside of Istanbul, and could start crossing into Europe very soon.
With the Spanish taking over in northern Italy, the Spanish were finally able to launch an assault against Switzerland. After spending the entire game hiding in their fortified mountains, the Swiss finally fall.
And finally, say goodbye to the last warlord. Sinkiang is annexed by the Chinese. Tannu Tuva must be feeling rather nervous right now.
The Italians are now in a full fledged collapse. The Spanish have taken all of the north, and are now working their way down the peninsula. Could potentially take Rome in the next update. Most of their forces are now in the Balkans, but the Spanish have now moved into Croatia, while Russia is moving into Romania, and the Indians have seized Instanbul. The Spanish had managed to seize a fair amount of Poland from Russia, but the Russians managed to cut those forces off and destroy them. You can see some of the remnants of them in Danzig. The Saudis seem to be holding back the Indians somewhat, though probably just due to a lack of Indian forces in the area.
The South Africans are really breaking out now, have taken Somalia and moving along the Red Sea coast, and up through Central Africa along the Nile and into the Sahara. No one else seems to really be in a position to stop them.
India and Russia continue to trade provinces along their border, with no real gains. Though the Russians did manage to get into Afghanistan, though they got cut off there. And now the Chinese are joining the fun in the big war between the great powers in Asia. Japan continues to grow its forces in Southeast Asia, while it seems they are more or less holding off the Chinese in Manchuria and southern China, for now. India are now moving into Siam, and are now just outside of Bangkok. Australia kicked Japan out of Sumatra and Australia, while the Japanese kicked the Australians out of New Guinea.
Something actually happened in South America. Argentina, Chile, and Panama all seem to have expanded a little bit. But nothing much else has happened.
And North America. United States of Omnomnom is a slow omnomnomer.
