The Avatar of the Palatinate of Enerjak and Emperor of the Kalmar Union completed their short but sweet meeting. They had decided to take the plunge and enrich eachother at the expense of various third parties...
Kalmar, citing a religious casus belli, invades Canada, triggering a chain of declarations as news travels across the Caribbean quickly. Enerjak, at the same time, declares war without a casus belli on the Antilles; everyone's too occupied with something else or has consumed their resources.
Both sides call on Scientific allies if necessary; Kalmar promises the British some colonies in exchange for their technological assistance - 3 to be exact. Not a bad deal given the Kalmar Union saved 50+ TC using British technology... much of that will also be made up when they get a share of Canada's spoils!
Both Canada and Kalmar have Army 11, and Canada uses its full force to repel the Scandinavians from their base in the harbor, which has 8 protectors.

The hunch proves correct; Kalmar loses its base in the Americas.
However, much of Canada's armed forces have vanished into the void of war. Kalmar has a surprise in store... a naval invasion!
1 ship, armed with six soldiers, goes along the coast and captures settlements all throughout! This includes the undefended capital city.
Canada orders whatever forces it has left to strike at the Scandinvian forces; they MUST be repelled!

The capital of Canada is retaken, but the rest of the country is left undefended.
Meanwhile, more forces from Scandinavia proper arrive, and take 4 undefended provinces.

While Canada implodes from poor military leadership in the face of Scandinavian invasion up north, further south, Enerjak, as a co-conspirator, splits the Pan-American forces apart by assaulting the Antilles.
1 ship, armed with 8 groups of soldiers, takes up position near the Antilles! In total, Enerjak enjoys a +4 advantage.

Antilles are annexed.
90 Army tech and 108 Econ tech are seized as spoils! Enerjak reaches Army 16, allowing 4 moves per turn.
With armies ready for the inevitable counterattack, Enerjak awaits as the Colombians march on Palatine territory.
"You think you're so clever! I defeated Super SonicShadowDr. EggmanFinitevus the Antilles!" Enerjak gloats as his foes approach.
Enerjak gets +3 to all rolls and is on the defense, meaning things will favor him slightly.

4 armies are destroyed but a new province is seized.
The Mayans reinforce their allies as possible, but focus on protecting their own lands first.
The first move Enerjak makes is using a well-poised army to seize the Colombian capital, which will shake their stability.

He then crushes a Colombian force and blockades the coast of Colombia.

The former Incan capital is also taken.

Enerjak's last attack reverses yet another gain.
Enerjak has crushed two nations in one turn, and is on his way to absorbing Colombia, which will leave him as the sole power in South America. Meanwhile, Kalmar is rampaging across the North, and it seems there's no end to the chaos of war as nations struggle amongst eachother for resources.
Three juggernauts - the Turks, Enerjak, and Japan - are scattered at equal distances around the globe. Will these powers one day rule a tripolar world, or will the nations of the Earth contain their motives?
