The Fall of Japan |
| After the Treaty of London, the English Army stopped to
rest and refit after the grueling battles of the Iroquois Front. It
was hoped that the brand new development of advanced armor designs would
enable the refitting of existing armored units with new tanks, but not
enough could be produced and the idea was shelved[1].
What could be done was the mass provision of motorized transport
for infantry units, which gave them greatly enhanced speed. Beginning
in 1700, some 50 tank regiments began moving into the former Japan, now
Aztec-occupied. By 1720, the advance elements of the English
Expeditionary Force reached Aztec-besieged Kyoto, the Japanese capitol,
and took it, avenging the razing of Blackpool. The EEF tanks
completely outmatched the Japanese riflemen, despite their reliance on
older model tanks. New model tanks, being completed in great
numbers[2], were being reserved in England.
The Blessed William already had his mind on the next war. To
this end, spies were planted in every continental capitol except
Japan's. What they revealed was that England's military was almost
to the level where it could take on France AND the Aztecs at the same
time. The Aztecs, backwards as they were, were no match at all for
English armor, and the French still relied on cavalry. First,
however, Japan would fall. Kagoshima, Sapporo, Hakodate, and Nagasaki fell to English forces between 1720 and 1745. After the grueling battles for Nagasaki, the Blessed William called a halt to the EEF's progress, and ordered a consolidation. He also began looking for an opportunity to break the right of passage with the Aztecs and eviscerate them, preferably without drawing in the French. In 1750, Hiawatha managed to annoy the rest of the world, who teamed up to destroy his last city. Aztec forces accomplished the task, ending the Iroquois' existance[3]. Japan, 1752 AD:

| [1] - Read: Forgot to make
tanks upgrade to armor. Oops. [2] - To the tune of 1 to 46 of them in 3 turns. Plus 49 of the old model driving around Japan. [3] - Actually this happened much earlier, but I accidentally had respawn on or something, and so they lived. |

War Without End |
| On the morning of Sunday, the 3rd of May 1752, over 90
regiments of English tanks crossed the Aztec border. Following the
Nelson
Plan, they took every first wave city except Itzapalapa[1],
and advanced on many second and third wave targets. Armed with
bronze spears for the most part, the Aztec army was no match at all for
advanced English weaponry[2]. The
only real resistance was on the Japanese front, where most of the Aztec
cavalry forces still lurked. 1754 saw the fall of Izumi, Echigo, Neodekheat, and Fukushima in northern Japan, as well as Itzapalapa, Teayo, Tzentzuntzin, Tlaxcala in Azteca proper. In southern Japan, Hakodate fell to Aztec cavalry after vicious fighting, and a three-way battle raged around Sapporo, with an Aztec cavalry army defeating a Japanese cavalry army[3] and then turning on the English garrison in Sapporo. The English advance continued unchecked despite cavalry harassment, taking Toyama and Nagoya in northern Japan, as well as Chiconautla, Malinalco, and Xochicalco in Azteca. On the home front, increased motor vehicle production allowed for the development of mass public transportation systems throughout England, which were installed as a war measure to conserve fuel[4]. An Aztec counterattack in 1756 threw man after man at Sapporo, depleting the garrison but not destroying it, though there was scant hope it would last another year. In northern Japan, Izumi was rocked by a pro-Japanese revolt, but armored regiments crushed it mercilessly by 1758, then took Osaka from the Aztecs. In the north, Tequixquiac, Tepexpan, Tlateloco[5] all fell to armored thrusts. 1760 saw the fall of Sapporo to the Aztecs after the beleaguered defenders ran out of ammunition slaughtering Aztec cavalry[6]. French cavalry captured the last remaining Japanese stronghold in Yokohama as well, executing Tokugawa and ending Japan as a power for all time[7]. English forces destroyed Satsuma, securing northern Japan, then drove across the mountains into southern Japan. In Azteca, Atzcapotzalco[8] fell with barely a fight, as did Tlacopan. After bitter street fighting in and around Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capitol fell, and Montezuma fled to Calixtlahuaca in the north. In 1762, English armor retook Hakodate, destroying an Aztec cavalry army. Nara fell the same year, and the Aztec presence in Japan was on it's last legs. Despite a short Aztec counterattack that retook Tlateloco, it fell again to the English in June 1762. In northern Azteca, Coatepec fell, and the armor crews of the western spearhead celebrated the taking of the entire western Aztec coast. In the east, Jilotzingo fell, and English tanks began entering the eastern polar region. In the north, Tultitlan fell, and English forces stood on the threshold of the Aztec capitol once again. In 1764, Tamuin fell, depriving the Aztecs of ivory. Teotihuacan fell in the north, and English forces advanced through rough terrain all along the battlelines. In southern Japan, the 208th Tank Brigade under General Woolf[9] retook Sapporo with minimal casualties, then drove past it to take Kamakura as well. Aztec resistance in the south ended with the fall of Cutack in 1766, and the falls of Tlalmanalco, Chalchihuites, Texcoco, Tepetloaxtoc, and the capitol at Calixtlahuaca all but ended Aztec civilization entirely. By 1772, it had ended[10], with with an English armor officer executing Montezuma as he tried to escape from his last refuge in Tlapanaloya. Progress of the Aztec War:

kill me. [2] - Which is why you don't get any battle descriptions. There weren't any. [3] - Which looked sweet, btw. [4] - Who am I kidding? I own all the oil fields. [5] - Original bunch, aren't they? [6] - Final score is about 30 to 3. [7] - FINALLY. He only drove his 70 freaking cav around spamming me for 20 turns or so. [8] - How. How did they EVER pronounce those damn things? [9] - Hey, it's me! Kind of... [10] - Yes, it was about that exciting. |
