AMERICA: An Absolutely Ahistorical AAR
Started 17 January 2010
Nation: USA
Version: 1.3 + self mod
Scenario: 1936 GC
Difficulty: Normal

Type: Gameplay-Historybook?
AI: Everything in the country is human controlled.
Goal: Defeat the worldwide Axis.

I've modified the game as follows:

• Extended game end date.
• Lowered USA neutrality to 0.
• Removed all historical (non-random) decisions and events.
• Allies initially at war with Axis.
• USA and Philippines start in Allies.
• All other countries start in Axis.

Could someone clarify the difference between Narrative and Historybook?

Title: To Hell and Back - The Story of the 101st Airborne
Start Date: December 1941
Link: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...d.php?t=468192
Style: Fully Historical Narrative
Description: This a completely historical account of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne through the eyes of fictional characters of 1st Squad in narrative form. I have been influenced greatly by the HBO Miniseries: Band of Brothers to take you along the journey of the 502nd who fought alongside the famed 506th Regiment. It has been written as through the use of diary entries in the form of a book written by the grandson of one of the soldiers! ENJOY!

Hello all, and welcome to Germany's New Order Of Battle
You were thinking perhaps that NOOB meant something else?

Germany 1936 GC
1.4 Patch
Normal Difficulty, No Mods
Almost Exclusively Gameplay, with explanations.

My intent with this AAR (my first, BTW) is to walk through a starting setup for Germany, focusing on those critical first few days, months, and years of gameplay. If there's sufficient interest shown, I will continue, otherwise I will summarize short and long-term goals and end the AAR around January, 1939.

I have played dozen's of HOI3 games, but this will be my first with the 1.4 patch. I will try and point up differences as I notice them in Game.
