Chapter I - Durst Of The Small

Guatemala. That's our country, small, not poor, not prosper, one of the many Central American nations who were known as the United Provinces Of Central America a century ago. We might be a tiny state, but our economical power and military strength is greater than that of our neighbours - slightly.

Our weakest neighbour, El Salvador, is our first target. Without a deceleration of war, we cross the border, march directly into their capital and declare a federation of Guatemala and El Salvador less than a week later. Nobody seems to notice that - all eyes are on Europe, where Germany, beaten in the Great War, rises to power once more.

After a small break, our army - victorious due to superior tactics, better equipment, spirit and (most important) the advantage of an unsportsmanlike pre-emptive strike without proper diplomatic foreplay - advances to Honduras, which just moved troops to the now Guatemalan border. Not that it made any difference.

Chapter II - Forward


Our war is not over - Honduras has to be integrated into our into our small empire too. Since they refuse to join us peacefully and call our federation a fake one, we overrun them as well.

Meanwhile, the Germans and the notorious Japanese continue their expansion: Japan decides to make her dominance on the Asian mainland absolute, whereas Germany inherits Austria and threatens the Czechs and Slovaks too.

That shall be the worry of other countries. With the resources we got from conquering our neighbouring countries, we have build a small flotilla of transport boats. Two and a half years after our quest began, we start the invasion of South America.

This shall be rather interesting, no?
 
This is very interesting. I'm not familiar with AoD at all: is there a badboy system similar to the EU or CK games? If so, how much leeway do you have until foreign powers start taking notice?

Yeah, be on the lookout for the USA. Don't they have Guarantees of Independence on pretty much all of the nations in the Americas?

Indeed they do, Leonaru is going to have to be very lucky to keep them off his back...or he'll have to garrison his coast strongly, and not invade Mexico.
 
Thank you for the comments. :)

It will be. ;)

No, it's just named "brigade"... and the next division I built had the same name, but was named "division"... don't ask me why.

I get "belligerence" which allows democratic states to attack me, but this won't happen if I end the wars quickly.

TheRealKestrel
Those will expire around 1941.

I will fight out mostly brief wars and the USA will influence me constantly. This will give me full Free Market (yes!) and set the chance of renewing our NAP to 43%, so I will be relatively save.

Chapter III - The World At War

Against our new enemy Venezuela, combined operations of Army and Navy proof to be critical: We perform a second landing behind the Venezuelan lines do not only threaten their capital, but may cut their forces into two as well.

Our strategy is successful and Venezuela accepts the integration in our Central American federation a few weeks later.

The next target is clear: To complete our Central American empire, Costa Rica and Panama have to conquered. They already talk about an alliance, but our deceleration of war comes too early.

Meanwhile, globally more important things happen on the northern half of our planet. After inheriting Austria and Czechia, Germany wants to have Danzig back from Poland. The Poles, however, don't seem to be impressed by the German military and prefer to fight. France, Britain and the other commonwealth nations join them. How will that end?

Chapter IV: American Empire

Note: I lost some stuff and had a lot of other things on my mind during the past weeks. Sorry for the late finishing of this AAR and for leaving a lot things out. I hope you enjoyed it anyway.


Years have passed. The world has changed - the red hordes from the East overran Europe and the pathetic wish of the Japanese to rule the Pacific is a shattered dream now. The Americas have changed as well. There had been many weak nations, changing regimes and ideologies fast. But one of them grew strong, became bigger and more cunning than all her foes. And this nation, now a single one, challenged by few, is known as the American Empire.
