Finally downloaded mod Saturday just because I was sick and tired of everyone referencing it and having no idea what they were talking about. First playthrough as US- stalemate on the war turning against me.
Quit that and start again on Easter Sunday once I get home from church.
Kept coalition intact and got President Olsen (and no, I did not look up how to do this, I still have no idea what is going to happen next for anything in this mod).
Negotiations failed and war started in early February 1937.
Held onto Washington, captured Philadelphia and New York from the CSA by late March, cutting off their supplies from the Internationale. Steamrolled west while holding against Long in Virginia and the West.
By May, got to a line in the east splitting Ohio in half, running around the bottom of West Virginia and going down to Raleigh, and in the west pretty much splitting the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas in half and the Oklahoma Panhandle and West Texas when the two trait... I mean CSA and AUS make peace with one another. They launch a combined attack on me.
First week of June, the front is stalemated, but I'm probably doing best as they just throw away units against my defenses. CSA backstabs Long suddenly though (or was it the other way round?) and the two of them start shooting one another again. I sweep in, take Ohio, Indiana... and then Chicago. CSA surrenders inside three weeks.
Whole Federal armies now fall on Long. I had a hundred fully equipped divisions in the field and all of them just steamrolled him. Over the course of August, all his defensive lines collapse and he loses everything not in Louisiana.
First week of September, whole AUS army is encircled southeast of Shreveport and destroyed, Long is left with seven battered divisions guarding New Orleans, which meet 60 of mine in classic Paradox death stack fashion. The city didn't even get a chance to fall - the Air Force pounded it so thoroughly that the AUS surrendered on Sep. 9.
Now it's September 12, 1937, and I'm about to ask for New England and Alaska back. I think the Canadians will be willing - they had asked politely before occupying the former, but on the off-chance they don't, there is a very nice big army that covers every square inch of the border and is waiting for the signal...
I think this is going to be a very good game.
Edit: Err... logged into the game and the date was September 12,
1938. Somehow lost track of a year.
