This is the second part of the AAR, you can find the first part here.

[image loading]
What a glorious nation.


Canada was so focused on its long term preparation against the Union of Britain, no one in the government saw the 4-way war in the USA before it was too late to stop it. Good news, it will be possible to gain some ressources in the process. Bad news, it's almost impossible to predict the outcome of a 4-way dance.
Anyway, we have syndicalist forces right at our frontiers, no way we'll stay passive.

Canada - 1937 : How to go to war without an actual army - the Noob Guide


It's been one day since the CSA, the PSA and the AUS chose to leave a stinking USA lead by the general/president McArthur. The Chief of the Defence Staff probably did a mistake by informing McArthur. Exactly the time to convert a mistake into a military operation !

[image loading]

Being sneaky is a good option too.
We need to help our little brother, the USA, and what a better way than to prevent New England AND Panama of being caught by anyone else ? Just let a fifth force grab those territories and it's like they are protected. Totally protected.

[image loading]
They totally swallowed my arguments.


[image loading]


This is it, with that, we've enough information to plan our way into making Canada the biggest country in the America. The PSA being neutral during this war for some time makes it a three way, meaning we can keep a potential offensive on it for later.

- AUS is just too far for our forces - cough cough - since we didn't even have a decent fleet either. Remember those ships we threw to the trash just to build more factories ? Yeah, I just remember it too...
- CSA is a good target, but I'm afraid USA will just accept our help, kick the butt of the other side of the CSA, thanks me with a good handshake and then keep everything for him while we mourn our deads. No way it will happens.
- Last option, the USA themselves. By attacking them, we prevent them from killing the CSA too fast, and we protect their territories from being captured by both CSA and AUS. It's an awesome plan, attack the USA !

Prepare the troups sir !
Meanwhile, Alaska is now ours, by using the same way we did for New England and Panama.
I don't know how the USA isn't pissed enough to declare war on us.

[image loading]

In red, my awesome plan.
In yellow, how we suppose USA will go to war against CSA and AUS.
No way in hell this plan can fail.

[image loading]
Well, if someone could have remind us we had a non-aggression pact with the USA.


[image loading]

Time for a back-up plan. We hope USA will not destroy those two kids in the East too quickly while we're going for a good ol' one on one. Since we only have 10 brigades, it's not a bad idea actually, once PSA taps out, the units in formation should be trained enough to go on the battlefield.

The area is kinda tight though.
It will not be easy to create a surrounding position against any army.

[image loading]
The King may be young, but he's really bad at geography I guess. Thanks for the troups anyway !


It's clear our army is superior, the first few days of the war are a succession of victories for the canadian army. Quality over quantity, heh ? It would have been a pretty huge blow if I didn't say to my troops to push too far without regaining any organisation. 100% of our interceptor planes died in a counter attack on the province.
The scientists are thinking it's the ideal day to start some upgrades on our interceptors. They were crap, I must admit. Maybe 1916ish models or something ?

Speaking of science stuff and research, the firepower is where the canada is at.
Manpower isn't our strong point, defence will not help against Union of Britain, mobility isn't bad but our rival is an island.

Oh, some news from Mexico !

[image loading]
Those gringos, always a good joke for the rest of the world.


[image loading]

That was fun, but back to some strategies.
By losing Vancouver, most of the PSA army is stuck in a pocket. And I really, really want to close it definitively. Since no force is coming from the south, we're pretty sure almost all the Pacific divisions are right here, in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The diplomatic staff from the PSA has a good sense of humor too.
They're trying to buy their way out of the war by giving Canada a third of its territories. A third ? I prefer to roll the dice one more and eat some more.

[image loading]

That's my boy !
One less soviet state on Earth, meaning, one less ally for Commune of France and Union of Britain.
I hope USA is taking notes.

[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]

It's called the "Two-Step You're Dead Son".
Efficient way of dealing with an army without number nor organisation.
Either way, the Pacific States of America can't do anything but accept to be annexed for the greater good of Canada. I'm pretty excited to take a look at our global map and see how strong we have grown after those few months.

[image loading]
The heck ?! USA looking as strong as my air force.


And if it's not enough, just take a look and another one to Spain. Or at least what's left of it.


Canada - 1937 : Where shit gets real


[image loading]
Quick annotation on the spanish Civil War.


Anything that isn't the CNT-FAI - the red guys - is a victory against communism.
But I can't fund anyone, and so much help for those guys... Even Brazil is giving some. And just looking at what happened the last year, I'm starting to be afraid of the outcome of this war. I mean, for Europe, I'm pretty confident where I am actually.

[image loading]

Since USA is pretty much dead if I'm not doing anything, it's time to go to war against my initial target. Hopefully the reds are too busy fighting on the west of the USA to defend against my main offensive. The canadian west force is mainly there to stop any other offense while cutting every counter-attack from USA and AUS to kick in.
After all, it wasn't our initial goal to help the USA, we should kept a maximum of territories as possible, starting with Chicago. As the capital of the CSA, if we own it, we pretty much are the only one who can negociate a peace annexat... treaty.

[image loading]

I've no idea what's the use of an atomic research, but since we are going from breakthrough to breakthrough, we need to keep our scientists busy. The symbol used for it is really cute too.

[image loading]
Friendly ?


[image loading]

Nah, too risky. Canadian's army is actually pretty good right now. A lot of 1936-1937 weapons and a nice experience from the previous war for half of it. Once again, the only good strategy is just going deep on the AUS territory, for two reasons :
- capture the capital ASAP, I don't want it to fall under USA's hands.
- force the AUS army to relocate every single day of the war.

There's only one thing I need to be careful, and it's cutting every access from the USA. Some provinces were lost to them during the CSA-Canada War - still not finished btw, but it's just a question of months now.

USA saved.

Canada - 1937 : The rest of the world


Russia became an Empire. Great, I should try to send some diplomats and have a new ally. Between royalties... French Empire too ? Sa Majesté Impériale Louis Napoleon IV, this kid knows how to look badass. He should have added a suffixe at the end tho.

[image loading]

[image loading]

Pretty sure the belgians were good friends too, isn't it Germany ?

[image loading]

It's mean to take on sleeping opponents, Japan.

It's been a good year !
See you next time.

At least, someone with faith on my navy fleet! :p
As long as it's against a country with almost no fleet at all, you shall not be disappointed.
A miracle from the diplomatic team is a possibility too - the peace way always seems more expensive, weird.

I am worried by this development in France. Another free territory lost to the ravages of evil EVIL communism. Finding a way to curb the tide of Red in Europe must be your first and ONLY priority!

For King and country!

Trying to hit europe without KR and UoB sinking each other's big ships is pretty much impossible. You really need to wait until 1939 to intervene

The annexation of Flandres took everyone by surprise - even if it's not worth to mention anything can take Germany by surprise - and I'll use my Intelligence to give you an idea about the strengths of the top countries at the moment. A total war in 1938 against the Reds is not an option, however that doesn't mean Canada has to stay passive!

Just wait an hour or two and you'll have the informations. Roughly.
Considering I didn't use that much money on Intelligence yet, since I was sort of broke before/during the US civil war. :p

It's impossible to win any war against Union of Britain before 1939 indeed, I did that mistake once.
That's when diplomacy occurs! Diplomacy isn't a pipe dream, but stuff of legends.

I beat 3/4 of the USA without an army nor any fleet, I can beat any island in the game without ships !


I'll play the next part on Saturday, then continue the AAR on Sunday.

Canada - 1937 Bonus : The Canadian Intelligence files


Mexico
Either Mrs Ellias Calles had a lack of imagination for her sons' names, or Plutarco loves to lead his country.

Commune of France
Union of Britain isn't in the Internationale alliance ! Also, France & Italy at war against Germany ?
A lot of divisions too, around 75. If you want to compare, I'm probably at something like... 30-40.
12 manpower tho, interesting to note.

Union of Britain
0% efficiency in intelligence ? Even worse than me, good job UoB.
Just to show you Shady Sands was totally right about the UoB fleet.

German Empire
I don't know how can Germany lose this war just speaking of numbers.
That country was almost impossible to spy though, it's possible my guys just went with some huge mistakes of their own.

Russian Empire
Gimme that manpower!

United States of America
Just for the lulz, what's left of them.

The Canadian navy, not as bad as I thought, probably some outdated ships tho.

[image loading]
And the air units... Please don't laugh.
