FYI Ahovking, since I occupied Scandinavia, and I pulled out to transfer part to yoy and the other to the USSR, and the Norwegians are okay with it and are bound by treaty to do so, they aren't fighting back. I've transfered the country to you and Sweden to the USSR as per our agreement.

Okay, so with the invasion of Canada, I have found many mistakes.
1: The Americans claim that the French and I are fighting in South East Asia, but that was a misunderstand on my part and was cleared up and deleted from the RP.
2: You are using tanks Like the Sherman and T-20 which would not even be developed until well into WWII. So even with a technological boost, you wouldn't have the possibility of having them till most likely 1939.
3: You are negotating with a minority of Canada, which Canada has been apart of my nation since 1583. No mater who you negotiate with, they have been a part of my Empire for almost 400 Years!
4: I have 5,000,000 Men, 10,000 Tanks, 10,000 Artillery, 1,250 Mobile AA units, 1,000 Mobile RADAR units, thousands of AA batteries on the border, thousands of AA batteries at all cities, big towns, military installations, and airports, and hundreds of RADAR sites all along our border, throught Canada, and on the coasts, thousands of anti-ship guns at all the ports, and coasts, border posts, observation posts, and listen posts all along our border. It is obvious that we would detect you atleast as you begin the invasion, and most definitly before we will see your buildup.
5: You claim to the Quebecois that your fleet would be able to destroy or turn my ships around, but if I use just one of my fleets, I could take you, not to mention if I used some of a second fleet I could destroy yours, then Attack you.
6: I could move in atleast 3,000,000 more troops to reinforce Canada, so your claim that you could take us easily is unfounded.
7: By deploying most of your forces to take Canada, you leave yourself open to Attack from the coasts, and by air.
9: Toronto is a British possession, not American.
10: You claim that the Quebecois contacted you.
11: You wouldn't be able to get to the Parliament building or even effectively carpet bomb Canada due to the thousands of the Anti-Air guns all over the countryside, border, and cities.
12: The half the Atlantic fleet is stationed in Hailfax, Nova Scotia, with the rest back in England, so it is not possible that you could take Nova Scotia so quickly.
13: How is it possible that I am incurring thousands and thousands of casualties while yours are in the thousands when I know your coming.
14: How have you not had many casualties of ships and planes when both my navy and Airforce in the area is larger?
So, these were my problems with the posts.

1) Fair enough. I was unaware you retracted the post about your conflict with France in the S.E. Asia. 2) This is an alternate history I can build tanks no matter how heavy in any year I want so long as its reasonably posted. And it is reasonable. We aren't repeating WW2 This is an alternate WW2 I can have heavy tanks a few years early with no penalty. So be careful because your post earlier about building an 'expensive' and complex defense in Canada and the North Pole sounded pretty unreasonable. England doesn't have the manpower nor the resources to build such a large defense. But I left it alone because this is Alternate history. So again don't pin me for having a Medium tank or a heavy tank in 1937.
3) Someone being a part of your Empire for 400 years does not guarantee they won't rebel against you. India is a prime example. They were a colony for centuries but still rebelled against the empire and gained independence. Peacefully, but a peaceful rebellion is still a rebellion.
4) Your huge unrealistic defense along Canada could not just 'poof' into existence. England doesn't have the resources, manpower or money to construct this overly elaborate defense. So if you want that defense I suggest you earn it. I'm not saying you can't have defenses there, go for it give me a challenge, but you cant say that you just have them there. You gotta work for it. Build it up. 'Can't just say that have that many troops there overnight for no reason. Besides this RP started in January 1936, and we are pretty much just reaching January-February 1937. YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS ELABORATE DEFENSE IN PLACE...(yet) THAT IS GUARANTEED.
5) Don't underestimate the US Fleet. In real history the US was selling ships to England to fight Germany. So really England's manufacturing capability was lacking. Again manpower and resources. Now in this case, you want to have a bigger fleet fine, I see that you have reason to have it. You have been aiding German and Russian advances by use of the navy. However, don't claim that your navy is stronger than mine. Here in an RP Game its about wits (like it is on the battlefield) Just because you say you have the 'bigger' navy means nothing. its all about how you deploy it. Besides England was not known for its aircraft carriers nor its long range aircraft capability. The US was. and I believe it still is in the RP. I have long range bombers. I could wipe out your fleet with dive bombers from my air craft carriers and then high tail it out of there. You don't have that option. or at least not many of those options.
6) In the real war, England struggled to maintain an army of 3+ million. Now here in the RP I don't know if you made it clear how you are sustaining them. You got 3 million 'service men' in Canada alone, then what is you population like in England and Australia. England did not have and still doesn't have a large population in the. Even in RP terms. At this point in History RP or Not the US has a population almost 3 times that of England. I could raise an army of 38 million men in a worst case scenario. More than enough to crush your forces with. But I can't just say I have 38 million troops that's 'god moding' but I can conscript or draft at least 4 million men in bulk for a year. More than enough to still out number your troops in Canada.
7) I didn't deploy most of my troops to take Canada. Long before I launched my attack, I shuffled around troops. I have troops all over including Japan, Philippines, Cuba, Mexico and the US. I'm not stupid enough to move everyone at once and leave myself open to attack. If anything I have troops in reserve.
8) Toronto as far as I'm concerned is inside American territory on the map. I'm not sure why but I exploited that opportunity to use the city as a stepping stone. The RP has been up for a while already no one apparently noticed. Now that the out break of war is inevitable, its kind of too late to change as it will require too much work to go through so many old posts just to edit them. If you want Toronto now I suggest you fight for it.
9) No, not necessarily. The Quebecois didn't contact me. Read my posts carefully. The Diplomacy thread begins with them restating a question to me. I reached out to them first. Its a matter of wording your sentences. Technically I reached out to them with an offer. My Diplomacy thread just opens with them restating my offer and then continues with the two sides negotiating on the terms.
10) I would be able to get to any building I want. Anti-air defenses are never impenetrable. Also again see my earlier point about it being too elaborate to REASONABLY construct in a one year time span. Reasonably you wouldn't even have half of that defense operational or in progress yet. So technically your anti-air/ship and personnel defenses are at a minimum. (Especially if you have defenses in the country side, cities and border. That's a lot of ground to cover and build on requiring more resources than I can guarantee England even has at its disposal.
11) And your telling me I'm leaving my nation open to attack. If you claim you WHOLE Atlantic Fleet is based in Halifax then what have you been aiding Germany and Russia with? In that case you are the one who is undefended and Spain or France could sail across the Channel and bomb England.
12) Carpet Bombing tends to warrant maximum casualties on ones enemies. I carpet bombed you before sending in my actual 'boots on the ground'. So if I am carpet bombing entire cities whether you know I'm coming or not your casualties will be higher than mine. Especially if I catch you with the element of surprise. In Reality The US had overwhelming defenses at Pearl Harbor AND we knew the Japs were coming but lo and behold they managed to maintain the element of surprise. So don't say I have impenetrable defenses and I know your coming you cant surprise me, my casualties are lower than yours. Not always necessarily true. As I said before, It doesn't matter the size of your army, It matters how you deploy it and fight. Again a battle of wits more than anything.
13)Again look at #12...If you don't catch me coming I could easily overwhelm you. Plus keep in mind I have been mentioning UDT's a lot in my posts (not keeping them secret) UDTs are the origins of the Navy Seals. They began operating around this time. If I wanted your ships gone and if I wanted to do it quietly they are who I'd send in to do the job. Which I did. So when my ships arrived half og your ships if not all of them were already sunk.
-These are my rebuttals...

1: We agree on this 2: I now agree 3: Yes but the rest of Canada enjoys being part of the empire, and you can't conduct negotiations with part of my empire. 4. Oh Absolutly it is not finsihed, but the aa guns are in place along the border, and Mobile RADAR to support them. The part with the North Pole, agreed. That part of the defense isn't and won't be done for atleast another year. 5. This one is just debatable and depends on the first strike, where they are deployed, and how they are deployed. 6. With my focus on defense, and huge population, I can maintain a large army due to my focusing a large chunk of my budget on the military. I have built up agriculture, and am continuing to build up more of my other infrastructure and support systems. 7. Understood, sorry for the misunderstanding. 8. No it's not. Just because a mistake was made making the map, does not give you the territory. If the mod made a mistake making the map and gave India to the Chinese, does that give India to the Chinese? Toronto has not been mentioned in any old posts, only current so we could disregard that part of the post, or fix them. 9. Okay, that part is true. But it wouldn't happen due to their not being organized enough for them to form an effective resistance. 10. That is agreed. The majority of my mobile defenses have been focused on cities, with the permanent ones on the border. The countryside and North Pole defenses have barley had any work done. 11. Only about half of my fleet is there, so I understand that point. 12. My defenses aren't invincible and un breakable, but unlike the Americans, if I knew you were comming, I would scramble my fighters and prepare some form of defenses. 13. Half of my ships could be destroyed by UDTs? I find that unlikely.

No problem. I understand. I myself work in a high school and plan on returning to college for my masters degree this fall. I understand the busy schedule.
