Now this is unexpected! Thank you Paranoid Tsar for nominating me and I want to thank all my readAARs, I couldn't have done it without you. Now, I guess I've to tell something...
I'll tell you why I started writing AARs. During my last year of school a lot of teachers, most notably my Dutch and history teacher, said that I had great writing skills and they enjoyed reading my stuff. This was one and a half year ago. Up untill this year, I didn't really did anything with it, till last summer. I was bored and played Victoria, as the Dutch I managed to defeat the British in war and thought to myself, perhaps we should write an AAR about it. And so I did.
My Dutch AAR was mildly succesful, and decided to continue with a new AAR. This time I wanted a real challenge, and what a challenge I got. As the Ottoman Empire there was a fine line between success and failure. Russia always messed things up. When that game had finished, I decided to play as Persia. In the back of my head I had always the idea/hope/dream to defeat Russia for their annoyance in my last AAR, and so war errupted between Persia and Russia.
This weekend I decided to start a new AAR (again!) but this time I wanted to have a slightly easier time. Prussia was my next victim, but since there are a lot of Prussian AARs laying around in the Vicky forum, I had to be original. I chose to make the Belgian conflict escalate into a 'great war' between the three greatest powers in the world.
What holds the future? I'm not entirely sure. I've had an idea for an ahistorical AAR for quiet some time now, but it requires a lot of work to make it feasable. On top of that, I had to think of a good background story. The idea still slumbers in my head. At the same time I'm thinking of writing an AAR for EU2, as it would be something new and interesting.
That's it for now, guess I've a lot of reading to do.
