This is my first AAR and I'm playing as Bulgaria.
I hope you enjoy!

Doomsday 1.3a, normal/normal, some icon and sprite mods.

First update coming soon...
 
Interesting nation to start with. Good luck!
 
Chapter I

2003865996685122087_rs.jpg

Many Bulgarian core provinces are occupied by our neighboring countries. The situation is intolerable
and we must therefore prepare for war to take what is ours!

2003879960017832682_rs.jpg

We start industrialization and begin building a factories in Varna and Pleven.

2003841592154835855_rs.jpg

Our first slider move will be towards hawk lobby to make factory building faster.

2003875832542225104_rs.jpg

To achieve victory over our future enemies we can't fall behind in research. Atanas Burov started developing Basic Machine
Tools and Kazanlak State Military focused on Early Infantry Division.

2003832230532277850_rs.jpg

The army of Bulgaria is yet small compared to our bigger neighbors but it's a good start.
 
Chapter II

2004759409846920410_rs.jpg

Germany occupies Rhineland.

2004756332012984882_rs.jpg

A coup happens in Greece.

2001849096313022080_rs.jpg

Italy annexes Ethiopia.

2004789415308795890_rs.jpg

We have researched Basic Machine Tools and start researching the improved ones.

2004783673994326498_rs.jpg

The Spanish Civil War started

2004762469965816772_rs.jpg

Research on Early Infantry Division is completed and Ivan Vulkov starts thinking how to improve our tactics.
(I chose Grand Battle Plan because Vulkov is a perfect match for that path. Too bad he's just skill 3)

I can't post the whole update at once, another post will follow.

The civil war isn't going well for the Nationalists.

2004736910614598930_rs.jpg

We use all our money to improve relations with Germany. We hope we can ally them some day.

2004731980435145616_rs.jpg

Roosevelt is re-elected

2004776480358922428_rs.jpg

The British are fed up with their king and force him to abdicate.

2004278424706676462_rs.jpg

After the new year's party those who could rise from bed gathered in a meeting to decide our politics for the year 1937.
Another slider move towards hawk lobby.

2004272404727456581_rs.jpg

First of our new factories is ready. We start immediately building another one.
 
Just keep gearing up. When war comes, it looks like you'll be ready.
 
Hm... I think Bulgaria is one of those nations that could use an early expansion. Perhaps an alliance in the Balkans somewhere? With Romania against Yugoslavia, or with Yugoslavia against Romania, or all against Greece?

I think Yugoslavia is eager for war. You can always crush or betray them later on :rolleyes:

I don't know if it would be vice to start an early war in the Balkans
and Yugoslavia and Romania don't want to ally me. :(
 
Or maby just Bulgaria in all the Balkan Area! :D Just wait until Barbarossa to expand in the area, then the allies and the ruskies will already be at war whit you, so tere should be no problem in that. And Italy will already be in youre alliance whit germany (if you are allied too him)
 
Bulgarian AAR... interesting. I hope you won't conquer everything you can, but reclaiming historical Buylgarian lands may be a good goal.
 
Chapter III

2005631396943632293_rs.jpg

Unfortunately for the industrialization of Bulgaria czar Boris III and the Head of Government Kioseivanov know nothing about
industry and therefore we can't use our full industrial capacity. Armaments Minister Gounev does his best to make sure they won't do too much harm.

2005664113485562349_rs.jpg

We have finished the research of Improved Machine Tools and start developing Advanced Machine Tools

2005624827960209841_rs.jpg

Ivan Vulkov has ended the development of Grand Battle Plan and focuses on Trench Warfare Doctrine

2005647702438699542_rs.jpg

Another factory is completed and we start immediately to build another one.

2005670130913813416_rs.jpg

Japan attacks China and USA offers the Chinese some assistance.

2005650999880322106_rs.jpg

The Anti-Comintern Pact is signed between Germany, Italy and Japan.

The Spanish Civil War has become a stalemate.
Both in the north:
2005690543999274133_rs.jpg

and in the south:
2005654960460364174_rs.jpg


2005638162890699353_rs.jpg

Japanese soldiers slaughtered Chinese civilians in Nanjing, the capital of Nationalist China. Americans are horrified.

2001305376256801438_rs.jpg

"What if our soldiers attacked in a mass?" Vulkov thought and started developing the Mass Assault Doctrine.
 
Another update coming! But just because I'm a nice guy and I'm on summer holiday.

Chapter IV

2005928973144040046_rs.jpg

After Advanced Machine Tools were finished our scientists started thinking ways to make our agriculture more effective.

2001336049137245307_rs.jpg

Some Hungarian scientist decided to defect to Bulgaria and we sent a group of Japanese dressed in soldier's uniforms to welcome him (photo on the right side).
According to them the man ran straight back to Hungary but he dropped a blueprint for Census Tabulating Machine.

2001300003963183388_rs.jpg

Romania had a coup.

2001372337107442804_rs.jpg

Italy decided to influence us and our hawk lobby slider moved back to right so my last slider move was worthless! Thanks a lot Mussolini! :mad:

2001354710930803947_rs.jpg

Stalin purges most of his highest ranking and most capable commanders. Is that man mad or something?

2001316961400137094_rs.jpg

Germany annexes Austria.

2001319879201027250_rs.jpg

Mass Assault Doctrine is finished.


2001359951037774360_rs.jpg

Now we have as much IC as Yugoslavia.


2001305897271179057_rs.jpg

Our Non-Aggression Pact with Turkey got out of date.

Second part coming shortly...
 
2005956937971867681_rs.jpg

The research of Mechanised Agriculture is finished. Kazanlak State Military starts developing Basic Infantry Division.

2005999874183458936_rs.jpg

Nationalist front in the south collapses

2005943998757280382_rs.jpg

Italy influenced us again and moved us towards standing army. Because of this I might forgive them what happened last time.

2005924194426265924_rs.jpg

We got a breakthrough in the research of Basic Infantry division. Yay!
