Now. I could take Germany, or I could take China. The only question is which.

Smart move going with Roosevelt.

I would like to bump up the military later if possible. The US would most likely fight a two front war and would need to have more troops than the CSA. Its either a 5:3.5 ratio or a 7:5 ratio of military troops.

My population is a little higher than IRL because of Cuba, Sonora and Chihuahua. Also the US didn't have as much immigrants because it was not as attractive since the US was defeated in the Civil War and had to take time to rebuild. Also Great Britain won't be a threat due to the war in Europe. Maybe Canada will send troops but it shouldn't be too many people.

Canada is still ESSENTIALLY a British colony, has its semi-independence but not complete yet. But yeah the main war will be in europe for the UK, still I'd watch the north

Yeah I might have to watch out for Mexico. They could cause some problems trying to take back lost lands.

Well I suppose both Americas can fight a two front war..

Plus once the blockade is in Germany won't be able to help the US

Immigration helped, but most American population growth was natural. Even with added populations in Cuba and northern Mexico, the northern states would still be more industrialized and more populous due to abundance of coal and good farmland.The US needs the extra troops if it want to fight both the CSA and British Canada at the same time. Otherwise, the US declaring war on two enemies without close allies wouldn't make much sense.

True, true. I'd say a 10:8.5 ratio would be good. Germany attacked Russia even though they were much bigger and had to fight a two front war.

In Russia whole squads shared a gun

Russia was still an agricultural nation, Germany was heavily Industrialized.

Germany thought it had AH and the Ottomans to help deal with Russia.

AH got distracted by Romania and Italy. Ottoman kebab tried to take the Causcaus, but failed.

Wow just looked at the map, UK own Hawaii? As the sandwich isles??

Yep. The US had to worry about other stuff I guess. Russia still has Alaska too.

Yeah the Ottomans have potential to really do something. Revive empire of old. They just have to avoid sucking haha.Take the Suez and hold off the British while kicking some ass against Russia.

We need Germany, France, Italy and the Ottomans to start. I can handle the rest of em.
BTW if anyone is good at making maps that would help a lot. I can't do it on my mac because its a school computer and the program I would use can't be installed. The world map doesn't show Arizona and New Mexico as Confederate. I also won't be able to show territorial gains.

I can't wait to take some US possessions away by force! Or the same with the Confederates, depending on who I'm aligned with.
In short, I have lots I could potentially gain by sitting back and waiting.

Since the US never had its war with Spain, you'll be mostly against Spain, UK and France

Yeah I don't see anything you would want unless it was some of mainland America. You can expect one hell of a fight for that

Who do we still need?

Germany, France, Italy and the Ottomans.

Actually, Italy and Ottomans can probably wait, seeing as they didn't contribute as much to the early war.

We could probably start with just France and Germany.
