To test out 1.3, to see if it offers a good model for the Soviet-German war and to apply some of the ideas I've got on what constitutes good defensive tactics in HOI3 .. oh and to raise the red flag across most of the globe.

Restoration of Democracy an American AAR

Title: Restoration of Democracy an American AAR

Start Date: November 24th 2009

Country: United States of America

Max German Allies via Diplomacy / Espionage

Play as Germany 1936 at max difficulty. The link is http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=445949 .

The post lists all decisions and events relevant to bringing in as many influential German allies as possible, with a special emphasis on either getting the US in as an ally, or at least keeping it out of the allied camp.

The chronology ends Nov. 1940 when the game crashed at French Surrender.

Because i copied in from a document, the formatting in the post is somewhat messed up. Please bear with.

Bottom Line: the axis had brought in 10 allies by Nov. 1940, and the US was halfway there.

In other news, a holiday and a bout of the flu has inhibited me from making an update recently. Will hope to get one done this weekend.

Due to a lack of time and dissatisfaction with 1.3, I am stopping this AAR. Hopefully 1.4 will be better. I may play Nationalist China again, or perhaps give India a try.
