Painting the world Orange…
A Dutch HOD AAR by Quirinus308
Hello and welcome aboard to my first foray into the world of Vicky 2. For those of you who know me, I spent years playing and writing about Vicky/Ricky but got sidetracked when Vicky 2 came out and never even gave the game a try. So here we are several years and two expansions later, and I am finally returning to my first love, the Victorian era.
This AAR is not intended to be a massive tome, but rather a light hearted gameplay AAR about what will essentially be a learning experience for me. I’ve played the game enough to familiarize myself with the mechanics, but not enough to master the game as I had in Vicky 1, so needless to say, this should be interesting. Any advice or pointers would be appreciated.
Since I lack experience with the game, I was looking to play a second tier nation with good potential. There are a number of countries that fit this description, but in the end I decided to run with the United Kingdom of the Netherlands.
So there we are… Unfortunately you may notice that half our kingdom is presently in rebellion. This has been the case since 1830 when the southern half of the kingdom rebelled against his majesty William I. They even went so far as to crown their own king, which is generally considered treason in most countries.
First order of business will be the reunification of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. Of course there are some outside the kingdom who enjoy seeing the nation partitioned, and have threatened to intervene militarily should we attempt reunification, but why worry about that for now?
