Well it has been an excellent experience having won the Showcase, though unfortunatly the creaking length of my signature prevents me adding this honour to it.

Anyway all good things must come to an end and I would like to nominate Savoy Truffle, an EU2 AAR by Fiftypence. A fine example of a classic EU2 AAR - simple, clear and well written.

w00t! Two of my favorite newer AARs nominated back-to-back! Congrats RossN and Fiftypence!
EDIT: @Ross: Have you ever thought of using a smaller font, and perhaps "|" separators instead of putting each link on a separate line? Just some food for thoght.

Thanks, RossN.
The AAR isn't really anything special though, I must admit, it's just a throwaway experiment to see how long I can find even half-relevant Beatles songs to use as update titles, which I thought would be quite an interesting challenge. Sixteen or so updates in and it's already getting difficult.
But I'm glad people like it, and the history book/narrative style seems to work well. There may not be another update for a while though, as a session I played recently (with considerable success) ended with the dreaded CTD, and the prospect of replaying those twenty or so years doesn't seem that enticing. But it'll get there eventually.

Excellent choice. This is one of my favourites. I really hope you get the motivation to continue the AAR soon fiftypence.
You're just braggin' ain't youFiftypence said:
Congratulations. I think that one of your AARs was the first one I ever read.
Oh God, who nominated this thing!??
Oh..uh...Hi Fiftypence. Nice...AAR. Real nice. I think there's some cake left in one of the birthday threads. Uh...see ya! :zips away:

I guess I'd better pass this thing on, so the new Weekly Showcase is anonymous4401's Real Men Do It Alphabetically: An AARgau, his twist on CK being that he must conquer each and every province in alphabetical order.
Congratulations anonymous. A great AAR you have doing - he has the first three provinces now!!!
