That is indeed what happens.

Congratulations. I need to get over there and catch up with this one. Nice job.

This is an entertaining AAR as far as CTW AARs go, and has the benefit of having a kicking title. Grab your insert noun, lads!

Nice choice. Congratulations Griffen!

Sorry for being a day late with the new nomination, but I just got back from visiting my folks for the holidays.

I know the guidelines said to try to nominate outside of the game I was nominated for, but since I only really have recently read up on EU3 and the others I've read of the CK line are already up here, I had to go with another EU3. I noticed that Rastar wasn't up here for anything, and I thought his "WC with Malacca in IN 3.1 – Complete Insanity???"

really deserved some love. It is an in depth look at the political/military side of a world conquest using an asian power (really a minor country if anything). A lot of my current AAR was inspired a lot from his work. So far as of my last reading, Rastar has taken the small country of Malacca through conquering SE asia, completely breaking Ming and Japan, and westward into Europe to westernize. Right now I think he's preparing for the start of the BB wars, rather sooner than I expected really, but many things in his AAR will catch you by surprise. If you want to read about bold strategy and taking risks, this is definately the AAR for you.
