An Event in the Mountains - Bulgaria 1936 AAR

This is a very simple update, nothing fancy about it.

April 9 1937 Construction begins on expanding the air base in Sofiya.

May 3 1937 sees the Republican forces defeat Nationalist forces in Spain.

October 19 1937 the decision is made to begin aligning toward the Axis.

I'm off to play some more.

I have another years worth of play to post up. I'll see about getting to it as soon as I can.

My apologies for not posting a new report yet. I'll see if I feel up for it today sometime.

Seeing the moves that were being made by Germany under the command of Adolf Hitler, Danail had approached some of those in the Army Central Command to discuss aligning with the German Reich. On March 9 1938 Germany absorbed Austria in the Anschluss which further pushed Danail and his army allies further toward allying with Germany. Approximately three weeks after the Anschluss of Austria army command approved for production trucks for maneuvering infantry more quickly then those on foot could maneuver.

One month after the approval of the infantry trucks for warfare German diplomats approached the Bulgarians offering a strong alliance between the two countries. After much pressure from both the military and civilian leaders Tsar Boris III gave approval for the alliance to be signed. Several weeks later army command approved the production model of a new fighter for the air forces(Multi-Role Fighter).

Early June saw Germany and Japan enter into an alliance against their common enemies. Things remained tense but mostly quiet until late August and early September when German populations in the border regions of Czechoslovakia came under assault. This led to the signing of the Treaty of Munich which ceded the border regions of Czechoslovakia to Germany.

March 24 1939 saw intelligence services operatives deliver to Danail a package containing the schematic drawings of Germany's newest infantry anti-tank weaponry. Ostensibly they were "stolen" but given the relations between Germany and Bulgaria this is likely just a ruse to throw off other intelligence forces. Two days later saw Germany annex Czechoslovakia with the Slovakian's declaring independence receiving Germany's blessing. Hungary laid claim to Ruthenia while Italy annexed Albania.

April 13 saw Italy sign an alliance with Germany followed two weeks later by Hungary. The day before Hungary signed their alliance with Germany army command approved a new service rifle for use by the troops. September 1 sees the first shots of the war which had been looming fired by German forces against Polish troops. Significant Polish resistance came to an end on September 29 as Polish troops began surrendering en masse.

I just finished playing through my first war. I'll work up the post for it when I feel up to it. A lot of tinkering with graphics.

It may take me a few days to sift through all of these screens.

I hope so, I went to war with Yugoslavia. Carved out a nice chunk of them for myself too.

I'll see how I feel about sifting through all my screens tomorrow. First step is eliminate the useless ones.

Things may have to come to an end. My laptop won't boot up after downing it for a storm.

I just checked my hard drive and my data seems to be intact.

Glad to hear that you've saved your files. Seems we AAR writers are cursed with harddrive crashes these past few weeks!

It wasn't a hard drive crash, not sure what it is but I suspect that it's related to the failure of the cooling fan in the laptop.
