Hello AARlanders! I’m volksmarschall, your host and author of this AAR. For those who do not know me, I hope we might become acquainted through constant interaction on the forums – at least when I’m around. Back in 2008-2009, I started my first AAR on these forums in the first Victoria, and as of this post, it is the only AAR I have finished – Saints and Angels, which was a narrative of the American Civil War. While that game and this Victoria II game are obviously not related, this AAR is intended to be the sequel to Saints and Angels, just transplanted, if you will, to Victoria II. For anyone who may have read that AAR, some of the characters I created in that narrative will be making their long overdue reappearance, hence making this the sequel.
This will be a narrative AAR, and there will not be any in-game screenshots, so if you are expecting such an AAR, stop and double-back unless you want to take this journey with me. This AAR will also serve second fiddle to what I expect to be working on for an indefinite period of time in EU IV: The Decline and Fall of Roman Civilization. I have decided to start this AAR as another release from EU IV and my work – and I always loved reading, and telling, (hopefully) an engaging story that will make me happy – and I would hope, make all of who read this happy. For those who have not read my original narrative, there is no reason to unless you want to subject yourself to cruel and unusual punishment – although some characters will be making their reappearance, the background of that story will be interwoven into this; and the backstory from my first AAR is not critically important to this story.
I will try to update this story once a week, or every other week, generally when I find the time to and when I’m not over in EU IV. I generally like to reward bonus points to the first commentAAR who realizes cultural homages that I have a habit of including in my work – so first when to know the movie that I pay tribute to in the first post gets the bonus point (hint, it’s a Western, and the title of this AAR has nothing to do with it – a brief monologue from my main character should give it away if you’ve seen this great Western)! So, without further ado – I present you with: The Last Angel.
