Yes, my next attempt at an AAR. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish this one...

Anyway, the stats:

Country: Bavaria
Scenario: 1836, VIP latest version


Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it? HAHA! That's were you're wrong! In order to provide you, the reader, with your daily recommended supply of AAR goodness, you should go read Rensslaer's AAR.

But, if you want to see a mediocre Vicky player set impossibly high goals and likely crash in a spectacular spout of flame, then you've come to the right place.

My Goals/Restrictions:

1. Be #1.
2. Enter into no alliances, save for the starting defensive ones with the German states, or with satellites.
3. Satellite at least 4 of the Major Powers. (Austria, Prussia, Russia, France, Britian, USA)
4. Tech trades are limited to 1-for-1, once every 10 years.
5. I will buy no more than 2 provinces every 10 years.
6. No colonial wars.
7. I will defeat all 6 of the Major Powers in war.

The only mod I'm using is an event I wrote to declare myself Germany if I hold Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Cologne, and Hanover.

The first chapter (1836-1846) will be posted tomorrow!
 
Ooh! I am intrigued, Sir!

And you give me too much credit! I, too, am a mediocre Vicky player. ;) Thank you, though!

I will look forward to a tale of the slightly crazy, and slightly more schlossched King Ludwig.

Rensslaer

Intresting...

Is there a possibility that you could post that event?
 
Those are some mighty high goal posts you've constructed, but Bavaria is fun win or lose. I'll be watching this one.

SecArmy: What's with the king?

SecForeign: He's a little crazy.

King: Show a little respect! *draws sword*

Aide: Sir, a crayon drawing of a sword won't hurt anybody.

King: *looks, paper flops* Just when I needed you most...

SecInt: *cough* Anyway, I've balanced the budget. We're now making about 3 gold a day.

King: If money talks, it ain't on speaking terms with me.

Scientist: Indeed, sir. But, we've started researching Mechanical Production by taking apart some Austrian vehicles.

Poor guy. :/
 
So pretty much every province is a high risk of revolting. How revolting. ;)

I like the subtle references to songs in this, especially Queen. :) I want to ride my bicycle...
 
Very amusing, please continue.
 
Indeed. It's been two days. For a new AAR, this is inexcusable. :mad:

ScreenSave18345235325.jpg

King's Sock Puppet: THEY...SHALL NOT...PASS!

Hell, quite a bit did happen as you say. Those sound like good goals, for the short-medium term.
