Well this indeed a great honour.
First of all thanks to Drake Rlugia for nomination me.
Then I would like to say thank you to you all for your support, it means a lot.
The story was one I began back when EUIII came out. Influence by the competition held by Singleton Mosby I started thinking that an AAR made in the time of Cardinal Richelieu could be very interesting. So I decided to give it a go and fired up EUIII. The reason for starting in 1625 and not at the Paradox created starting date at the beginning of the Thirty Year War was that I wanted the game to start out with the Kings of both England and France the correct one, this giving me a possibility to play around with the historical monarchs and more importantly their advisors at the beginning of the game… So far the game has been very interesting, I have to admit that I have played bad in my dealing with the Huguenot uprisings that started, but as that makes the story much better I think it is okay
As for me I am a 19 year old Norwegians who have been writing AAR for some years already, as some of you know I still have a Norwegian HoI2 AAR running, it was started back in the summer of 2005 and it seems that it might end this summer after 2 years…. It sure has been a long and nice story, I had never thought it would become such a project when I started my main goal was to try to defend against the Germans and now Norway is invading the Soviet Union. Well I guess you can say the two AARs are very different
At the moment I am pretty busy unfortunately, exams are coming up and in the afternoons I am at work so for the next couple of weeks I will have little time to write on weekdays, but I intended to continue both AARs and they will be updated in the weekends.
So once again thank you very much all, although I have a week I think I shall start looking around already today for the next winner…. I have to admit that I already have some candidates on my list. There are a lot of great writers on Paradox and I try to read at least some of their works… but I will use my week well and then you shall get to know next Sunday who will be the next writAAR of the week…
Once again thank you very much
