I didn't intend this game to be an AAR in the first place, but since things went pretty interesting I decided to share it with you guys.
Mind you that this is my first AAR and I rarely read other people's AAR, so just bear in mind that I will not be as professional as other people when it comes to reporting progress in details. Besides, I don't have that much free time to write or even play (I should really be studying instead )
So this is my first attempt for a one-colour WC... AS FRANCE! Yes, you heard me right. France, usually a neglected country because they get raped by Germany pretty much all the time. But I shall attempt to change France's fate by ahistorically defeating and annexing Germany to create a new French Empire greater than anything Napoleon dreamed of.
Settings are: N/N, 1936, no mods except GFX stuff, no edit or f12.
I'm actually close to 1942 in my game, but I'll introduce my game from the start. Ummm... I don't have any screenies until 1939 because I didn't think about making it into an AAR the first 3 years. In fact, I actually don't have a lot of screenies because I forget when I'm in middle of action and I don't want to spam pictures. So... sorry, I'll have to fill the blanks in with words and you guys have to use your imaginations (As I said, this is not professional).
Okay, enough gibberish and to the game itself. I inched my slider towards dictatorship from the start. I got rouge politician giving me extra moves towards dictatorship and ban communist/fascist party events that let me move LEFT. Now what I did was to reform French Army by abandoning the entire Superior Firepower-Grand Battle Plan doctrine and starting from scratch with Mobility focus and slowly advancing towards the Blitzkreig doctrine. No more French turtle, we're going Lightning. Other researches besides the obvious include Rocket, Nuclear, Carrier, CAS, etc. Now that I think about it I think I should have switched my Naval doc. to Base Strike .
Anyhow, first three years were boring as usual. Nat.Spain actually WON the civil war. Stalin got possesed by an Angel and didn't go with the purge. Everything else was pretty historical when in September 1938, the Treaty of Munich event happened. Instead of Sudetenland, this is what Czechoslavakia gave Germany: ..l., Then all hell broke loose: Germany DoW Czechoslavakia, then Poland DoW Germany, then USSR Dow Germany, Romania joins the Axis, Bulgaria DoW USSR, Portugal joins Axis, Spain joins Axis and Italy joins Axis. Now just take a minute to absorb that..... During the midst of all this chaos, seeing the change in situation, I moved my 100+ div. stack that was ready to invade Germany to borders of Spain and Italy. Then it was my turn to DoW. Feburary 15 1939, France DoW Axis dragging all the other poor souls into the war.
French Army poured into Spain and Italy at the same time as if a dam just broke. And here is my first Sceenshot:
As you can see, the brave Czechs and Poles are gone already and the Germans are fighting the Soviets now.
Both peninsulas annexed:
More next time, I don't want the first post to be so big.
