The Revenge of the Bear: a BeAARhug just for you!
This here shall be the first ever meaningful AAR of yours truly. For the layout of the AAR I shall most blatantly and inexcusably theft and steal and pillage from other great AARs, for I am just a completely unoriginal person.
I never intended my game to turn into an AAR, and just thought that I'd have a game in VIP:R 0.2. However, when the Crimean war struck, for the first time in all of my games, I was suddenly faced with something I’ve never faced before. I shall not say what, you’ll have to read the prologue that shall be posted pretty much in the coming minutes. But after this, I somehow had this idea of taking revenge and… Revenge of the Bear it is! The AAR shall start pretty much in the year 1854 and shall speak of an alternative history Russia that changed far more drastically than it did in the aftermath of the real Crimean War.
As you already understood, the game shall be modded, maimed and tortured at will depending on what I need done. However, the aforementioned processes shall be done simply to improve the game and not give myself unfair advantages.
All in all, I hope that this AAR will give me the courage to finally finish at least a single game until 1930s and not just hop off to another nation as my interest span dies out >.>
The pace of updating shall be slowish until the 4th of June as I am kinda in the middle of exams (next one on Tuesday). So… yeah. The Prologue is already done and Chapter 1 is in the phase of being finished, as I have already played into 1860s, the crucial first years of the new Russian Empire. So, actually, this part might be covered regularly, but once I ran out of notes and screenshots, you'll have to wait for me to play the game again
