A Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg 1.0 AAR.

Part III - Early Progress and the State of the World

​

The Union of Britain is internaly uncontested, is creating it's place in the World, and has resources to feed it's factories.
Finaly, those factories can be given some use!

The matter of what to build at this moment wasn't quite so easy to agree upon as the international relations one. Many opinions existed on the subject, but eventualy the "Gather Strenght" current won.
Supporters of this stance, such as Arthur Horner himself, claimed it was better to increase Britain's brute production capabilities, both to provide for the Working Masses and to allow for greater military strenght later, when our brilliant researchers had created new and inovative weapons, such as Imperialist slaves could never create.
They still had to compromise, however, with other members of goverment, like Oswald Mosley, who pointed out the state of extreme weakness the Republican Army found itself in. Also, remembering the aged navy, orders were issued for a new Battleship, unfortunatly all we could aford for now, but still a powerfull help to the defense of the isles if the need surfaced.
​

Speaking of the Navy, a complete check of all non-totaly obsolete ships and gathering of those into one powerfull fleet resulted in this:

​
Not only were these still old ships, the First Union Fleet highlighted the dire need of adequate screening for even those old ships. Resources were thus shifted from the urgent upgrading of our old army and militia units to a potentialy even more urgent builing of adequate, if not the most advanced, destroyers.

Early Advances are done in technology, and the first steps of inovative technologies are taken.






​

And while all this was debated, done and constructed by the British Proletariat, capitalism was showing signs of it's certain demise.
​
Let there be no illusions thouh - capitalists will always find new means of opression to force the working classes into a worse and worse position, and thus survive. Only by Revolution would the nightmare end, as our German comrades are painfully reminded yet again.

This reminds me. At the screen when you exit, the little ledger for "Syndicalists" shows Britian, the Commune of France, and Sicily as the three major ones. In KR, is there an event that brings Britian into the alliance?

Good to know - but I would have entered anyhow via diplomacy. I'm more curious to know if there is a way to get Bengal into the thing. A Syndicalist India would go a long way to making a Syndicalist World, but the odds of getting them into the alliance seem slim.

Also, is there anything wrong with f11 and events? I thought I had screemshoted a bunch of them but find nothing... :(
 
Great AAR, i never fully played Kaiserreich before, i guess i just got annoyed the Germany controls every colony on the planet ;)

Anywho, 20 Battleships doesnt seem enough! Also, why are they King George V class? is this just left over and unchanged?

I cannot wait until thoses imperials get what they deserve! :eek:

Part IV - The Third International

​

May is upon us, and the French have decided to host the first Congress of the Third International! On May the 1st the following posters were distributed all around Europe.

​

As expected, the Union of Britain is invited. We make sure to be represented at the highest level.
​

There, Horner and the other delegates to Congress are informed of the situation of Syndicalism in España, and pledge the UoB's support when the time comes.
​

The situation in opressed South America is also analysed, and support is pledged by all to the strengthening of Unions and Socialistist Parties.
​

White Terror is exposed and all agree it must be fought. Capitalist-Imperialist opression will do nothing but increase the People's will to trow again their parasitical weight.
​

On the subject of the Women's role in the Revolution and the new Free Society, the Congress is unanimous:
​

But the best moment for the British delegates was yet to come. Comrade Reed informed the Congress of the conditions for Revolution in the United States of America - or at least parts of it. Everyone present rejoiced at the possibility, but none more then us. A Revolution in the US would leave the Royalist scum in Canada ripe for the crushing.
​

While it wasn't a Congress Resolution, it is worthy of note that the Sicilians took the oportunity to ask France for a commitment of their defense, to wich the French agreed.
​

On May the 19th, the First Congress of the Third International ended in Paris. The general feeling was one of a great success, with all progressive nations having sent representatives, all major motions aproved and syndicalism growing all around the World.

Thanks!
The designs for the Ship were indeed finished still during pre-revolutionary times, and so every working document still hosts that name. It's a pity, but still preferable to just advance with those reactionary project names then to waste precious time renaming papers wich will only been seen by a hand-full of people anyway.

More troublesome was the Strategic Bombers division, wich the commander still insisted on calling "RAF Bomber Command". A bullet solved that problem.
 
Why? It is the Republican Air Force after all.

No trouble. However, did you have a look at the unitnames? Somehow I dont think that the Republican navy will like a ship thats called HMS Prince of Wales.....

Look at post #21 of the thread - you'll find a screenshot of a British Fleet. All those royalist names are gone, replaced with proper revolutionary ones. :cool:

I see, but what about newly built vessels?

I'll just change their names manualy.

edit: I must anounce another delay in the AAR. I've found a bug in one event that will make me have to reload the saved game (only a couple of weeks) and correct said event.

edit2: I can't mod my way out of the problem it seems, so until the KR folk see my post in the mod's thread and solve it, the game's on hold.

Very interesting AAR thusfar.
 
Some of your screenshots are very fuzzy. Any idea why that might be?

And denouncing terror is ALWAYS a good thing, even if you're a complete hypocrite. Admitting your hypocricy is, by comparison, not a good thing.
 
Cool, a Kaiserreich AAR! I haven't tried the UoB yet so I'm looking forward to seeing how your game goes. :)

Fuzzy thing might be me saving them as progressive .jpg - that means they'll load fuzzy and get better as you load the rest. My image editing program tells me that option makes them smaller, that's the only reason I do it. If they don't load at all for you or anyone else I can just stop saving them with the option.
And yeah, that option kind of had me wondering. What kind of Congress would aprove the motion to declare the participants hypocrits? :D

Glad you're glad. I never played KR at all before, so we'll be finding out at the same time.

With any luck, the solution given in the KR thread will work and I'll continue to play tonight. Until then fair comrades!
 
Yes! The red banner of the working masses shall vawe all over the world. Today - it's Europe, tomorrow - who knows? ;)

Your support is much apreciated fellow syndicalist, but perhabs some refraining of your short-term expectations is in order? The World belongs to the Working Man, there's no doubt about it, but "Today" we don't quite hold Europe... More like Britain, France, and half of Italy. With a big nasty Germania right at the door. :eek:

But We shall Overcome you know.

And Germania just needs a few nudges for the oppressed workers to throw off their chains!

I understand your concern, but we sholuld help our comrades in Europe - this is "Today" - millions of suffering human beings are exploited by reactionary governments of Germany and their puppets - but I tell you, comrade - this capitalist nightmare will come to an end much sooner than some of us expect - their economy cannot survive without support of the people - and this is our chance - this should be our goal - to send resources and advisors to weak underground organisations in these countries and spread the good word of syndicalism all across the continent!

Part V - Internal Progress and External Bonds

​

The Third International left every progressive force of the World in the best of spirits for WorldWide Revolution, but as we well know, the Plight of the Working Man isn't solved in one day, nor is socialism built by sheer willpower. Most of the crucial actions are, after all, tedious day-to-day work. Building guns to arm the Masses and advancing Science for the betterment of all.

Or, if you have any relationship with the US of A, signing some massive trade deals.
​

Research goes forward:
​

And the Army and Navy are expanded:

​

The Union is not closed on it's own shell though. Diplomatic and Solidarity Trade relations are improved, and a special program on supporting Socialism in Norway is started.
​
(this was the bugged event)

The efforts in South America prove far more rewarding then anyone could have ever hoped for, with Brazil joining the Socialist Community!
We send representatives to Centroamerica aswell.
​

Meanwhile, Imperialism proves it can lead to nothing but futile wars once again. How many will die for the petty fights of these fools?
​

And Salazar does something that would make his version in some alternate universe turn in his grave - he sells Angola to Mittleafrika!
​

And Britain prepares for the Congress of Trade Unions...
