AAR History

Defenders of Freedom and Democracy - A Democratic German AAR


In this HoI2 AAR a Democratic Germany brings back the Kaiser after a Civil war against the Nazis and allies with Britain against an enlarged Communist Block consisting of: USSR, France, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Belgium and Italy. The Anglo-German alliance later fight Japan and Rommel crosses the Himalayas with Panzers. This alliance then breaks up during a Cold War in the mid-40s when Britian sides with the US. The AAR then ends shortly after the finaly showdown between Germany and the Anglo-Americans begins.

The Greatest of Endeavours Demand The Greatest of Sacrifices - A British AAR

In HoI2 again. The British Empire stands alone against an enlarged Axis consisting of Germany, France, Italy, Hungary and Turkey. There is also a Sino-Japanese alliance (at war with the Soviets since 1936) to contend with at a later date and of course the Americans and Russians if Britain is to secure world peace under British rule. Its going to be a long ride ...

Through Rivers of Blood and Mountains of Gold - The Story of The House of D'Albon

I've now completed this AAR and loved every update :D. Starts out with the usual rags to riches story as the D'Albons quickly advance from petty Counts, to powerful Kings and then glorius Emperors. The Empire then gets divided with the AAR following the D'Albons in the Holy Land. D'Albon Jerusalem expands and becomes the Roman Empire. Last few decades of AAR see world dominance ensured. Featuring Schisms, Crusades, fratricide and all sorts of Medieval fun. :D

Austriae est imperare orbi universo - a Habsburg AAR

I'm really enjoying this - even more so than my CK one. Follows the Habsburg dynasty rather than Austria and shall feature major wars, Austrian colonialism, dynastic rivalry and religious chaos - and this is just Part One!

Part Two meanwhile follows the Age of Revolutions. It features numerous Revolutions in the Americas but much more importantly the French Revolution. The French Revolutionary Wars lead to the rise of Napoleon which in turn escalates the conflicts in Europe as the Continent remains ablaze until the French Empire finally falls once and for all in 1815. Meanwhile after this the Age of Revolutions grinds on but at a much slower rate - Part Two ends with the ascension of an Emperor who means to turn Austria into a democracy.

After a century of wealth, opulence, social change and Empire Austria hurtles into the disastrous Great War. Following defeat in the war (1912-1915) Austria enters a Civil War and the Habsburg dynasty collapses.

Let the ruling classes tremble – an Interactive Revolutionary AAR

A departure in style for me as I look to revive the interactive AAR genre. This tale begins in the Rhineland in 1850. After two years of hard fighting the people of the Rhineland have thrown off the yoke of their Prussian masters and have stepped out into a brave new world. The region is ruled by the People's Party - a hodgepodge coalition of Anarchists, Socialists, Communists and Trade Unionists. You, the reader, have the power to use your vote to influence the future of our glorius revolution, you, the reader, have the responsibility to point the revolution towards either paradise of disaster.

This has turned into quite the phenomenon. The most popular AAR in the V2 forum for over a year and the most read thing I've ever made.

I really loved this AAR and it ended in very unfortunate circumstances.

Sadly it died during my exam period in the Spring of 2014 when I wasn't able to keep up with the thread and keep it under control - resulting in its closure, a temporary ban for myself and a permanent ban from running IAARs (perhaps for the best).

Well, be ready to grab the riches, and lots of it. The Betting Sun is the first and most popular betting game in the AARland.

Baltikja:

Baltikja-2.png


Baltikja was set in an alternate history where Morcar, Earl of Northumbria, leads his people out of England and into the Baltic Sea. There his people fight, conquer and eventually marry into native Baltic tribes. This leaves a unique culture in its wake and a line of very ambitious Kings from the humble Meinekinus to the pompous Karnak, from the master tactician Sviendorog to the master diplomat Gunvald.

~~~~​

It was officially abandoned in August of 2013, with an apology and a final, rough outline of where the history was going (since I had played and plotted out until roughly 2016 or 2018, I have forgotten at this point). Around that time of my life I had just been laid off and presented with the black abyss that was suddenly having a lot of free time, I turned to writing. But not Baltikja. I began writing a fantasy series which I am still finishing up five seven years later.

Baltikja, in the meantime, remains both one of my favorite projects for its scope and content, and also one of those things that I don't exactly show off to people. It was, for lack of a better word, a foundational work. I had written before Baltikja, but this was the first project of such massive scope and time commitment. It's hundreds of thousands of words long, often unedited and raw, and often rambling and plotless. But it was fun. And people seemed to love it. So in no way do I ever regret putting it up here for everyone.

I remain proud of Baltikja and of myself for having created it. I also learned a lot, and I've grown better and stronger as a writer.

Since then I have not really been able to commit to another AAR, though several have gotten as far as initial chapters and a decent amount of planning. My fantasy series, which as of writing this is currently toward the end of the project (I'm writing and editing four books simultaneously to be released on a tight schedule).

So with all that said, I want to reiterate some of my closing words to all my readers: Thank you. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your time. I appreciate all the comments, views, and everything that I got over the four and a half years that I committed to Baltikja. Many of you followed from start to finish and you mean the world to me.

Cheers, and hopefully we meet again.

The Oracle

Hi, I'm using this opportunity to advertise my AARs. I'm a happy owner of HoI2 ARM *Unfortunaly on steam so I don't get a pretty pic under my sig* and I'll buy AoD as soon as it comes out. Hearts of Iron 2 is one of the few games that I never really stopped playing and I wanted my first AAR to showcase my home country the Netherlands, because there can never be enough Dutch AARs.


Je Maintendrais. An a-historical Dutch AAR

AAR.jpg


Je Maintendrais is imprinted on the royal Dutch Shield. It's French for "I will persevere" and that is exactly what I plan to do. For too long have the Dutch sit by and permitted themselves to be used as a playball for the other European Countries. No more! With the kidnapping by Belgium soldiers of the Kaiser in 1925, the Dutch have grown more resistant to the influence of the Allied countries and in the 1930s increased cooperation with the Germans. But as European tensions rise, is the Netherlands ready for the change it will bring?

I will use mods to improve the historical content of the game, for the Netherlands is certainely not a neglected country in HOI2 but could be a lot better. It's also important to me to keep some kind of historical plausibility.

Although invading Belgium in 1936 is fun, historically the backlash would be the end of the little nation. But, I will say, an invasion of Belgium is definetely in the works. Because what's a Dutch AAR without the invasion of Belgium? Blasphemy, that's what it is! I'm a big fan of keeping AARs neat and organised and I will do my best to make the layout of the AAR easy on the eyes. There will also be plenty of pictures.
 
AARs by me, famous Tuore:

Europa Universalis III:

The Sun Rises in the East - IN AAR with Japan *dead due to accidental savegame removal*

The Creek Coast - IN AAR with Creek

Audacity of Pope - A IN World Conquest AAR with Papal State

The Orange Colony A HT³ AAR as Holland/Netherlands *Dead*

The Legacy of Lancasters A HT³ AAR as England, includes pretty pictures.

The Epic of Ethiopia A MMP2 AAR with Ethiopia. With pretty pictures.

Sweet Home Alabama - Another Creek AAR, but in HT³.

They're Not Gonna Get Us - A Ryukyu AAR in HT³, to see if Ryukyu really is the hardest nation in the game. Getting annexed in 1417, I have to say that it is.

They're Not Gonna Get Us Again! - Another Ryukyu AAR, after I learned a new thing on religion changing.


Hearts of Iron 3

Wehrmacht, Strategy and Europe or How I Learned To Love Large Invasions - HoI3 AAR with Germany.

Fort Survivor - HoI3 AAR with Belgium *DEAD*

Blue and White - HoI 3 AAR with Finland.

Quite a lot of them.

Arya V.'s Inkwell

Hey guys, and welcome to my Inkwell. I'm a student in High School, started playing Hoi2 first in 2007 and branched off to different games; I never really started AARs untill 2008, where I noticed that writing AARs could in fact improve my writing, which I like to do very much, while playing my favorite type of games. I like writing, reading, playing drums, violin and piano, playing chess, and I used to program; I was working on a game called "SimNation", a simulation of population happiness and the general politics of the world, but unfourtuanately it is now discountinued. Glad to be a part of AARLand, and hopefully you guys like my AARs. :D

_______________________________________




First AAR and completely abandoned, trying to create the Persian Empire in the Modern Day Era using the MDS mod. Just putting it here for the record but it was really my first AAR so it largely used as a staging ground for my later AARs. All the pictures have in fact been deleted, so by now it should be a very boring read.​

_______________________________________




Second AAR and abandoned... for now. Trying to potray Rommel's Tunisia Counterattack narrated by myself. Personally, I thought this was a good idea, but because Hoi3 isn't looking too good now, and because I lost my notebook with all my writing of it in it, I just decided to move on. I intend on finding that notebook however, so maybe one day this can come back on the scene​

Austria Under Fire: A History of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine

1836-1914



Suprise, surprise, another abandoned AAR. My third AAR on the Austrian Empire in Victoria. I consider this my first real AAR; all other ones were just tests, really. Still trying to find a style I really like, so there's a lot of switching from narrative to history book, etc. Very aggressive gameplay, so expect to see a whole lot of wars.​

A short while ago I was playing an HTTT-game with France when a series of events happened that were in such a perfect coordination with each other that I began thinking up a story behind it all. It takes place during 1570 and 1650 and involves all your favorite elements: France, catholics, huguenots, foreign interventions and court intrigues. And it is possible that the Cathars might have a role in this all.

Enjoy!


Protestantism was a rising power in France, until the king decided to act against it. General de Pellefort broke the protestant chain around Paris, smashed their armies, took their cities and gave the final blow at Caen. This religious war however dragged the whole of France to the edge of the abyss. Most of the army is destroyed, a generation died on the battlefield. France needs to rebuild and reunite so it may grow strong again.

In the south, Spain has been united and rules over a global empire. Empires are like men however, born into this world through blood. In the past, Aragon and Castille have seperately been crushed by France several times. Now united, they seek to enact their revenge at last. They wish to break the back of the nation and have amassed an army of almost 100,000 men at the borders. Skilled veteran of many wars general de Alva stands ready to invade France.

Ten Years would this war last, France was standing at the abyss
