Well friends, this is going to be my first AAR and I'm going to put my ass out there in a serious way. First, a few things about me:
1) I've never done an AAR....EVER
2) I've owned EU2 for 5 years, but I've only played it seriously in SP for about a year. I've recently played in two aborted MP campaigns.
3) I've never played anything other than vanilla or AGCEEP.
As far as many are concerned (and they aren't far off at all) I'm a newb. So this AAR will be fun for veterans to watch a newb squirm and struggle in the face of normal degrees of difficulty. I won't try for WC or anything remotely that absurd for my experience level. Rather, I will do my best to guide my nation to the greatest glory possible. So I shall lay the foundations and framework for my campaign...
First, I plan to have my first update by Wednesday / Thursday of THIS week. No exceptions on my part.
Second, this campaign will be AGCEEP, latest edition. I'm not familiar at all with the events of any nation with this mod as I've mostly played vanilla.
Third, this campaign will be played hard / normal.
Fourth, I have set no particular house rules for myself regarding CB, DA, FA, or the like. If my tactics seem gamey after the first 1-2 updates, the readers can chime in on house rules.
Finally, as I am not a glutton for noobish punishment (I don't want to play Xhosa) , I will give the readers the decision for what nation I shall play, within my playlist. I will take the majority vote by Tuesday night (EST, North America). If there is a tie I shall decide for myself. The nation list is, in no particular order:
-Denmark
-Dauphine
-Burgundy
-Sweden
-Aragon
-Brandenburg
Yes, I know. All Latin tech groups. Spare me the derision.
You decide. Looking forward to your replies.
P.S. In a test run for screenshots I notice I can take screen using F11, but not while major events pop up. Is there a different command for this?
