Feedback...
For those of you who are wondering where this AAR is going, allow me to say that I have several preliminary post planned to set the stage before the game starts. I need to do this because once the game starts, it takes off pretty quickly, and I won’t have another opportunity to do so. Stylistically I am planning on doing this as a series of wikipedia styled articles coupled with gameplay updates, so once we get through the foundational postings, then we’ll start the gameplay. But first…
I have several goals for this AAR, one of which is to do a better job at feedback, so with that in mind.

Great! I used to play as Two Sicilies all the time. For whatever reason, they were the most fun to play for me. Who are you going to try and unify as?
I find all the Italian states to be enjoyable in their own right, but for now I’m going to withhold my starting country until we get past the foundational postings.

A couple Italy AArs popping up around here. Awesome!
Good luck!
Thanks for the support. I found it odd lately the dearth we have had of Italian AARs considering how fun the Italians are to play, and the variety of gamestyles and directions that an Italian AAR can take.

Deus Vult: A New Take On Italian Unification...With the discussion of the Will of God, I can only imagine that you're playing as the Pope. Would that be correct?
That would have been a good title as well. Of course as I said earlier I’m going to withhold my starting nation for a little longer.

Wow. Another massive tome about to begin! The Encyclopaedic Conquest of the Entyre Globe by the Kingdom of the Thirty-Seven Sicilies!
Looking forward to seeing this! Rensslaer
Thank you for the support. I can promise you one thing, and that is that this will not be a world conquest. Oh and btw, nice new avatar. The Imperial naval flag has always been one of my favorites.

I just like those days, when you wake up, and discover some newly started aars ! Go on and we keep reading...
Not being a morning person myself, I’m glad to hear I made your morning go a little better.

And with mine, it's two Two Sicilies brand new started AARs! Wonderful parallel. Excited for new updates. And good luck with the game...
As you and I’ve already discussed, I look forward to seeing the differences between our two projects. I fear however that you are probably going to outpace me in the speed of updates.

ah, another Quirinus AAR! followed your previous stories and will be happy to follow this one.
Thanks, I certainly appreciate the support.

A new AAR by Quirinus! Does this signal the end of Germany's participation in the Great War? Well as you've already said that's ending soon, I'm guessing yes
...Interesting choice of country- I've tried Italy a few times, but they always seem to fall short of being able to reach the top levels (France, Germany, UK) for a Western European colonial power. But then again, you've conquered the world as Belgium so hey, I'm sure you can rebuild the Roman Empire!
My German AAR will continue, but unfortunately the Belgian AAR has died a premature death. As to Italy the hard part is dealing with the badboy associated with unification. Beyond that, I’ve never had too much trouble with them, as they have a fairly strong population, and decent starting tech. Also the French just love Italy, so they’re always improving relations for you…

Ah, your new AAR. I must say I always found Italy an interesting choice to play as in Vickie (In HoI2DD as well) especially during WW1. Great start and good luck in your grand plans for Italian J.U.D. Justification, Unification, and Domination.
Glad to have you aboard once again. I too find Italy a joy in both HOI and Vicky.

Loved the "World is not enough" Can't wait to see where this AAR goes, looking forward to the trip.
Thanks for the support, although I do want to say that this AAR will be handled a little differently than “World is Not Enough” but I’ll try not to disappoint.

Hey, a new
Quirinus308 AAR and nobody tells me?? Great! The most logical choice to unify Italy of course would be Austria.
Thanks for the support.As to Austria, I will say there are certain constants that take place in every AAR (or just plain old game playing): lots of cavalry, terrible financial mishandling, and the collapse of the Hapsburg empire. We’ll have to wait and see if the trends continue.
