I guess it's kind of half and half. I mainly wanted to introduce the great CORE mod to people who haven't tried it yet.

I'll try to cover the basic differences between vanilla and HPP in this AAR. But other than that, it's my usual gameplay AAR

I think that BarrosRodrigues's world conquest with Portugal can qualify as a learning AAR, mainly due to its countless screenshots, rigorous and heated discussion of game mechanics and what is and what's not "gamey".

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?647374-Portuguese-World-Conquest-AAR-(TFH)&

Both Albania and Luxembourg AARs share the above characteristics, but the Portugal one is extremely detailed.

Are there any tutorial AARs for DH (even HOI2) ? It would be very much appreciated as its been many many years since I 've last played HOI2 and I am struggling (only a bit ) with DH.

Genre - Mostly gameplay with interactive discussion of strategy (NOT an interactive AAR though), and likely some narrative scenes with characters of the times.
