Well I have just gotten free of high school forever. Therefor I may have a bit more time. Just a bit though I have to find a good collage for history majors.

My most fun games have been as South Americans. Argentina is my favorite, especially in C.O.R.E. Weak enough to be a challenge, yet strong enough that you can do something. In my game I joined Axis. The two biggest problems I had were lack of resources (thus killing my IC's) and dissent from DoW's. Have you been expierencing this?

1941 Judgment
President Justo shifts his weight form one foot to the other. Damn he thinks how the hell did we get ourselves into this situation. General Remeriz stands up abruptly from his seat at the conference table. He shouted in anger, “who the hell allowed this declaration of war to be put out." Justo leans back in his seat a defiant look in his eyes.
"I did general what do you make of it," he states flatly.
"Sir it is just we are out numbered 5 to 1 and their units are far superior," mutters Remeriz. It had only been two months since the empire of Argentina had declared war upon the USA. Their only reason the need for resources and war to keep the public at bay.
Turning to another general present in the high priority meeting Justo asks, "tell me that we have a plan to get out of this mess."
The man addressed Savio stutters as he replies, "no sir."
"A battle plan at least," Justo questions the people in the room.
"That we have," says Remeriz. "We will sweep north taking all of the Central American countries, and then invade the U.S. form her south flank," stammers Remeriz.
"I want more than that," shouts Justo and storms out of the room in anger. The next few days and weeks pass quickly for Justo. They seem like a blur. He allows the production of four new divisions and oversees the annexation ceremony of Honduras after a quick bloody war with them. The small South America country joins up with the empire in February of 1941.
Several months later Justo sits at the head of a long conference table his advisors surround him in a tight cluster. The date is August 22 1941 and he is formulating a war plan to attack the country of Mexico. It is not that Mexico will pose a threat he thinks it is what will happen after she joins our empire. Remeriz speaks, "sir we will put all 45 divisions onto the front lines and smash north. Once Mexico is taken I will break the forces into three parts and disperse them into the U.S. homeland." He gave more details into the attack strategy like how the forces would have to travel around the Mississippi River to avoid battles along its shores, but Justo ignored the general.
The war in Mexico was quicker than expected with only one or two large engagements. One of these two battles gained the title of the bloodiest battle in Argentina's history. With the border fortified Justo reviews the final attack plan and sighs. He can not help but think he is sending his men to their doom. To calm his nerves he takes a walk through the streets of Rio where he has set up a headquarters. He marvels over what he has done in the past few years. The number of men who have dies under his command and can not help but be mournful.
Then he walks back to his residence and sleeps for a long time. After emerging from his quarters he is ready to handle to horrors that will come in the following years.
I tried to use a different style of writing in this post does anyone like it better than that of the old posts or should I stick with the older style?

You DoWed USA? Cool, join the comintern and make this fun. I like the new style, stick with it.
General Remeriz leans back in his chairs and rubs his hand to return felling to them. He stares down blankly at the report he is writing to send to president Justo. The thin line of Argentinean invaders were on the offensive. A thin overstretched line of defense along the Mexican U.S. border. Remeriz slams his fist down on his desk in fury. If the line was to break Argentina could lose everything and be pushed hundreds of miles.
To make maters worse the elite tank divisions that had powered the Argentina war machine up to this point were few and far between. There was only one hope for the line to hole. He would throw his most elite tanks across the line straight north to draw of the attention of the U.S. infantry then he would order a bombardment of the remaining defenders positions. After which the initial plan would take place, except with more force thrown towards the east coast than intended before.
On March 4 1942 the strike code name the half way to hell raid began. The tanks blasted north through weak points and then the main thrust followed. The operation was a huge success with 14 Argentinean divisions lost to 21 U.S. divisions lost. By mid December Remeriz had boxed off the north eastern coast and saw began to see that the U.S. was planning a stand of some sort.
That stand came in like a storm and crippled Argentina's military. The form it took was a mass counter attack from a coalition of American and Canadian force. By the end of the year Argentina was forced back to Mexico and still retreating.
On Christmas Eve Justo held a high priority netting to discuss the future. Peace we should at least begin peace talks," stammers Remeriz.
"No," Justo shouts fiercely. "General the only decisions you have been making is where our soldiers should be massacred. Therefore you will understand if I say your advice is a worthless as waste."
"Well in that case sir I respectfully resign from my position" says Remeriz flatly. He salutes smartly and marches out of the room. This came as a shock to Just Remeriz had been one of his best most experienced leaders. Justo never one to show surprise. Merely leans back in his chair and took a gulp of water from a cup on the table.
"Questo chose a position to hold the new line make it as small as possible," stated Justo he then stood up from his chair and walked out of the room to retire to his quarters.
1942 in review. Huge amounts of American land were take but then recaptured. The industrial capacity of Argentina is rising steadily. Just so you know the time at which I DoWed the U.S. was not random I waited till the American fleets on the Atlantic coast were redeployed to pacific to deal with the Japenese.
