Beat the AI after 1.5yrs, if anyone needs tipps, ask...
Alright, managed to hold the East Coast quite easily, dug in at the Florida border and retreated into the Rockies at the West Coast while churning out rifles for massed inf divisions. Once the fronts stabilize it gets pretty easy since one outproduces the AI. In 1943 I took back Florida, early 1944 Nova Scotia. November 1944, I am back in LA despite Mexico and Brazil joining Allies and opening new fronts, I have more than enough reserves and total air dominance.

This was a slightly suboptimal run, will probably stream a better one in the next days. If you need tipps, please feel free to ask. Happy to help.

I restarted. xD The fun part is pushing them off US soil. Went worse this time but managed to secure most of the US by the start of 1945.

Don't have that save anymore, but it was I think about 40-50 factories on rifles, 10-15 on Support Equipment, 5 on trucks, 15 on artillery, initially 5, later 30 factories on fighters (you have 50 air XP to quickly design an OK fighter), 5 on AA, 5 on AT, 5 on trains. Main priority is getting all divisions properly equipped and new ones churned out ASAP plus some fighters. Once the fronts stabilized I threw 40 factories on CAS which started melting enemy divisions.

There is no reason why it should take you to 1945 to push them of US soil. Pay close attention to the California front. Beacuse there is one point early in the game when the Japanese completly abandons their positions to move their divisions around (not sure why they do it). This gives you a moment to push to Los Angeles since moving around their divisions put that at very low organization, and then you can cut off the Japanese from their only port.

You can kinda do something similar to the German Boston front, where if you attack their division you can send in one to take their only undefended port (right at the start of the game). Then send your east coast army to quickly clear out Florida.

Yeah but that's kinda gamey.^^ One can keep up the challenge with just removing the Boston landing. The West Coast isn't particularly important anyway. The real threat is Florida.
