The first fourth parts : [part1], [part2], [part3], [part4].

[image loading]
Should consider an European flag maybe?



The last run was all about the East Europe history. That was such a deep and interesting lesson, Canada almost forgot about his objectives. But they made so many friends in the past few months, it was worth it. Sadly, 1940 will be about being back on track for the reconquest of the United Kingdom. With a fleet fully operational in two years from now on, it's time to take a look at the incoming year!

[image loading]

The Iron Tour isn't bad, it's just, it's a tour designed for a big family mostly, and actually, that's not the case of our brave Canada. Despite the fact our women are producing missiles and children in an industrial rate, the North America isn't China bis yet.

The Baywatch one is definitely to keep in mind, but not right now. In no way this one is going even close to the Union of Britain!

The Love Boat brings some decent ideas, including the famous "remember Scandinavia" from 1938~, and some more Europe exploration in the end. Let's choose this one for now.


Canada - 1940 : A Song of Water & Ice (and some blood)


[image loading]
Before setting sail to Scandinavia, a showcase on how nice people we are.


[image loading]

This is the part where I'm glad Commune of France let us keep some territories, it would have been impossible to launch any assault from Canada or French Africa, meaning a port of call in some places like Ireland - we'll back for you one day or the other - or Iceland, not yet a friend.

[image loading]
Here we go again. That failed diplomacy with the Russian Empire had some harsh consequences.


[image loading]


... What's the meaning of this?
Elections in the United Kingdom sphere of influence? It's even worth when one just read the Liberals and the Conservatives' programs. A two pages booklet is all was needed to be elected in 1940, and if the curiosity needs to be filled, here is a quick resume :
- Liberals : Bring back the Democracy in Canada + money
- Conservatives : Bring back the Democracy in Canada + UoB/UK/royalty stuff

I don't want Democracy.
[image loading]

Let's discreetly advertise against that.

[image loading]

[image loading]

In Europe, and more specifically in Norway, the experienced Canadian troops didn't have to wait three months to land. At least, no one voted for this running gag. Two more provinces and Norway is already in the body bag.

And boats! More boats! Ships! Destroyers!

[image loading]


Meanwhile, a total lack of any navy - alive - from Norway results on him suiciding his transports into my capital ships. Scandinavian logic ? Better put an end to their misery.

[image loading]


[image loading]
I KNEW IT.


Politics, the best way of screwing a one-year tour.
Austria is in the exact same case, since they are called "considerate people" by our own tabloids, it will be impossible to enter any war against them either. And that's with a sad face Sweden escapes its destiny for the time being.

[image loading]
No, you don't.


[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]

Trapped.

[image loading]

[image loading]

Another quick conflict.
We just have to reclaim Scandinavia as an ally - when Sweden will accept to enter the whole Canadian alliance - and create a second frontline, and at least we'll have a real war. Against Germany & Russia of course.

Union of Britain shouldn't be that hard, if it's possible to land a feet on its soil.

[image loading]

Probably 75+ divisions in position to attack 3 provinces.
Economy => Production => Land Forts.

I'm at a loss for words. On a bright side, Germany seemed to fall asleep one more time. If the Russian Empire is kinda like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, we're safe as long as it doesn't see us moving an inch!


Canada - 1940 : The Love Boat on the Black Sea


Since Finland is doomed if the Russian Empire wants to attack, we don't need to let a single division to protect the country.

It's also true Russia has a score to settle with Finland, they took some provinces back in 1937.
Heh, it's been four years since then, and if you don't remember the part where Finland won against a weakened Russia - and an opportunistic Soviet Nation, it's probably because Canadian Intelligence.

Since Austria decided to close its borders to the scumbag Canada (!), our only option is to finish our vacation trip to the Ottoman Empire.

[image loading]
I remember when a war disturbed only a fraction of my population, sigh.


[image loading]

The Canadian Fleet is patrolling around, just in case those neighbors have some ships to spare. Our Secretary of Navy Affairs laughs alone just thinking about what we have done with those wreckage of a fleet. It pretty much sank every ship of every nation we went against. For not a single loss at this moment.

His colleague working with the air pilots hasn't presented himself since two or three years now. He mad.

[image loading]
Collateral Damage.


[image loading]


42% efficiency ! I don't know if we are that good at intelligence now, or if we spent three/four years at getting better at propaganda numbers. 2 small ships only and 41 infantry divisions, we'll see soon enough.

[image loading]
Two small ships indeed.


Since the easiest way to attack is going for their capital, Istanbul, and that 50% of the main forces will be close enough to defend while being hard to attack since my boats are stuck near, our Chief of Offensive Staff shared a decent strategic idea : losing one or two battles to give the Ottomans too much confidence.

It couldn't hurt to try, could it ?

[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]

Once in a while, a battle plan going smoothly is just cherry on the cake.
All we have to do is to create another frontline against Istanbul by using our vastly superior sea control to drop some reinforcements right behind it. And cut the possibility of retreat from any troups they have in this side of the land.

[image loading]

Oh, and we have to remember to teach our fellow Canadians some authority, like in the good ol' days - 9 months prior to now.

---

But the trip was way longer than expected, and the war against the Ottoman Empire is going to drag on one more year, probably. As long as the mid-1942 deadline isn't exceeded!

I've already played the next year - I guess you'll know why if you read year 1940. :p
But I'm taking submissions to rename my fleet and my main forces against the Union of Britain.

If you have any idea and want to share it, I'll use it, and probably will do the same for the final war against Germany, it could give a funnier look than having generic names for those two important wars.
