Weekly AAR Showcase: The Necronomicon in Byzantium

[ColonelIronboot]

Thanks again, everyone! I am honoured, and will be much more honoured, if you vote Speak Lithuanian or Die! for Favorite Narrative AAR, HOI1/2 in the AARland Choice AwAARds 2009

Monday rolls in, and General Popeliucka of the Lithuanian Army has to pass the torch to someone outside Hearts of Iron. It must be noted that I've only played Victoria for two days, whether HoI has been my hobby and my passion since the HoI1. This problem made my choice hard and long.

It shall be EU3 who will receive the honour of AAR Showcase this time:
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present

Haiti, Mon Pays

A EU3 AAR by sir bofski, its idea being a lone country of Haiti resisting colonialism and imperialism: written in letters - the form I enjoy as well - great looking maps, screenshots from the game and pictures of those times neatly combined in bofski's updates.

Yes, it is a small and new AAR, but I believe it is important to support the beginners, so that they would have extra motivation for writing their AARs, rather than old comrades who're well-known.

Congratulations, bofski!

Nice choice! Congratulations bofski!! Also, our prayers go out to the real people of Haiti and all those who are risking life and limb to assist in the aftermath of the disaster in their land.

[Hardraade]

Congratulations, bofski!

[Enewald]

[Iain Wilson]

A fine choice ColonelIronboot (and a fine reason for choosing it - new AARs deserve attention too!) - and congrats to bofski

[Qorten]

Congrats, bofski!

[bofski]

Thanks everyone. That was an unexpected honor.

[tuore]

So, who's next?

[ColonelIronboot]

He still got time to choose, until 25th if I understood the concept correctly.

[bofski]

So, tomorrow, the torch will be passed on to the next AAR. I liked the surprise, as I hadn't known about the Weekly AAR showcase before. I will be glad, if you will continue to follow Haiti, not only in the AAR, but also in reality, because as soon as the broadcasting networks will forget about the terrible earthquake, people will also forget.


I am not playing any other games then Europa Universalis, but I like to read some AARs from other PI games from times to times. So the AAR I chose, will not come from the EU3 section, but from Hearts of Iron 3.

I like to present you

What you eat is what you AAR - the worldwide introduction of estonian cuisine

I loved to read this aar who combines delicious food recipes with a gameplay AAR in a most funny way. If you run out of ideas in your student kitchen, try Skabputra, Verikäkk or Güllaç and reminds you to stay away from Century Eggs should you ever cross them in a restaurant in Hong Kong. The AAR also tells us the story of how the small endangered nation of Estonia conquers the world. Truly entertaining and I hope you will like it as well.

Thanks all of you! I feel like a sharpsooter, who`s taken a shot backwards from between his legs and has hit the bullseye. I`m not going to pour my heart out, but a few words are in order, I guess. It`s been great fun to write this AAR and as a part of its name says it`s experimental, so switching between different styles of writing and trying various ways to present the AAR have been constantly occuring. It`s a process of learning how to write an AAR (it is my 1st one) and inproving my skills (I absolutely love those self-drawn ultra-cool maps some of the writers use ).

Now, ladies and gents, if you`d excuse me, I believe I`m obligated to find a successor to pass the torch on. Wait a minute ... ... where`s the torch, where is the bloody torch!?
