Forging the Empire Once More - a French AAR

[tuore]

Chapter VII: Victory!

The base IC of the United States is now below 20. They have barely 10 divisions fielded, and their dissent is rising. These are probably the reasons why our government received this telegram this morning:

Lebrun and his government immediately started drawing the new borders to the United States. After a quick discussing, they came up to this solution:

The disputed land in southeastern U.S is... disputed. It is still being negotiated if France needs a strip of land to maintain a foothold in the American continent (apart from Panama, which will remain in French hands, there are not going to be any other provinces for France). Some suggest that the lands should be transferred to the CSA, but the final solution remains up to the voters' hands.

The other provinces. The government has planned to transfer Alaska to the Californian nation, because they are nearby and ships would have sufficient naval range. The Pacific islands are probably being handed out to the CSA. Texas, even though they are most destructed by the war (eastern coast has almost completely been reconstructed), is big enough as it is.

OOC: Another event I created. Now, how shall the rest of the provinces go? By the way, don't care about the image in the event .

 

[elbasto]

That actually sounds better.
Remember to release Texas and California before CSA. Then if possible New England? Small numerous puppets are always good.

Yup, make sure to release Texas first.

I'm not aware of any additional puppets in North America besides Canada, Mexico and Greenland.

EDIT:

The image of the event is probably due to the fact that you used the Annexation of Austria event code.

Also, why did you give so many additional provinces to Texas and the CSA? It would simplify your game if you keep a border with Texas and California, for resource (tribute) transportation.

Don't worry, I have a savegame before releasing them, so there's room for negotiating. I just liked that the borders were going by the rivers and made them clean.
Keep a border with Texas and California? They have a border.

Chapter VIII. Negotiations

The government has now come up with three possible solutions for the American situation.

Number one, already proposed:

Proposal two, expanded CSA and shared borders:

Proposal three, equally shared:

Or, if you don't find any of these good, then here's a map only with the released nation in their release status, with no extra provinces. Draw borders here.

 

[Enewald]

This:

You could possibly release a rump USA in the French area that is left.

I love that map.

 

[elbasto]

I like either the default or 1.

What about the default plus making the remaining continental territories the US 2.0? Something like "New Quebec" and renaming Chicago to "Lafayette DC"?

I'd keep overseas territories to be used as invasion platforms.

What I meant was that you should keep a border between you and your puppets to simplify resource transportation. Maybe keeping Houston, Miami, Massachusetts and Seattle?

I can't release the U.S because the CSA got Washington. Of course I could mod it so that I could.

 

[unmerged(166917)]

I'd say option three.

Actually, I believe the USA is not in the revolt.txt file, so you shouldn't be able to liberate the USA.

 

[General_Hoth]

I say keep northern USA, wait for an invasion of Canada and recreate the Nouvelle France!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's an idea!

I can mod it.

Actually, I would like to return the 40 divisions to France. Germany is moving worringly much troops in the border.

 

[General_Hoth]

Create a puppet named Nouvelle France with the north of the USA, it should be able ton defend himself and eventually beat canada alone.

 

[matt12th]

+1, easier for micromanagement purposes, and you will probably have the germans to deal with before the allies. GREAT AAR!

Chapter IX: New U.S Order

Lebrun and his cabinet, assisted by some important political characters, had decided to create the French colonial area, Nouvelle-France, to the northern areas. After a quick diplomatic proposal, giving them areas, the result is this:

The United States are defeated. French soldiers are returning to Europe, where new struggles lie ahead.


OOC: The fate of Alaska and the Pacific Islands is still disputed. What to do?

 

[unmerged(83789)]

Set up White Russia in Alaska and keep the Pacific isles.

 

[unmerged(166917)]

Awesome!
Concerning Alaska give it to Pacific States and keep the Pacific isles.

 

[Enewald]

Make it that Canada seizes Alaska.
And meanwhile the Emperor of Japan grabbed all it could from the diminishing giant.
Makes the game harder on the long term, and challenge is what you need.

I'll see what I can do.

This.
