Its tough but it can be done!

I tried, but never finished mine :(
 
Yes man I enjoyed reading yours! Quite ingenious with the soviets there! And also very funny, you should finish it some time!
And now, in shameless self-promotion, I will go out on a limb and say I will finish the world (muhaha etc.) before 1950! You can't believe it? Neither can I, but I need more readers :D

I have to admit though I'm not a real kiwi, but a German living in New Zealand! Maybe that's where the fantasies of world domination come from ;)

In any case I already want to write the next update, but I have to wait for people to catch up ;) South America is almost finished, and then the real fun starts! Keep it up guys, you're in for a surprise! Or maybe not? You'll have to see!

Heh, I did it, just never finished the AAR. The pics are around here somewhere...
 
Germans and their world domination, surprising choice to use New Zealand for it though!

I wonder what's next, now that South America is firmly in the control of NZ.
 
Hey dude! I'm from Cambridge, Waikato. It's good to see some good old fashion Kiwi humour up in HOI2, mixed with some intense military strategy and domination.

Kinda like me and my mates road trip to get a feed from Wendys in Auckland, but going through the some what dodgy neigbour hoods my friend has dealings in such as Otara and Mangere! haha.

Love it! Keep it going bro!
 
Hey guys sorry for the long wait! But I'm writing on my Master's thesis right now and don't feel like even more writing in my free time! But I haven't forgotten you of course - here's a mini update.

@Raaritsgozilla: damn it and I thought I'd be the first one to do it :( congrats though, and rest assured: my strategy will be quite different!

@Ehart42: currently in Auckland but moving back to Germany in 2 weeks...

Savage: Very nice Freyberg! We finally sacked Argentinia - that means we're now the no.1 supplier of rump steaks in the world! Our economy will boom!

Carr: I like steak :)

Savage: Now let's get some chile sauce for my steaks! Get it? CHIL-E! Haha!

Freyberg: Yes sir, very funny sir... :eek:o

--------------

With only 4 divisions in Santiago and 4 more in Antofagasta the Chileans have lost the war before it even begun.

chapter5-12.png


Freyberg: Just a cleanup job...

Down south however...

chapter5-13.png


Freyberg: Wow they're really tough! No wonder, they're even more south than NZ's south island!

The north, though, is firmly under NZ control, and Freyberg achieves his first encirclement - probably the first in NZ history!

chapter5-14.png


Freyberg: Just like the Nazis, only we use horses instead of tanks :D

The Chilean divison in the south is brave, but after a diversionary attack from Santa Cruz, they have to admit defeat.

chapter5-15.png


Freyberg: Well that's it for South America!

chapter5-16.png


--------------

May 1940, the magnicifent NZ Reich!

Subscribed!

I love this AAR. :D
 
I approve, oh boy do I approve :cool:

If only HoI2 had the changing map names feature, then we'd have "New Zealand South America" or some other unwieldly construction sprawled across the map for all to fear.

Next question: Whats next? Africa? Mehh thats mostly colonial. These Dutch, French and British provinces do ruin the map though!
Interesting,
 
Is this dead? 'Cause that would be a shame.
 
Interlude: The current state of things

It is the end of 1940. South America is conquered, and Freyberg is taking a well-deserved rest from his holiday home in Caracas.

Freyberg: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

----------------------

Carr has taken his boys on a trip to Europe and is busy sinking the Regia Marina.

chapter5-18.png


Carr: Lol! Bombing ships is awesome, they don't fight back :D

chapter5-20.png


---------------------

Meanwhile, in Wellington, the industry workers (sheep?) are busy.

chapter5-19.png


NZ has a heavy focus on aircraft, also the best research teams are aircraft specialists.

chapter5-21.png



Freyberg: Man Carr gets all these shiny toys and I still have horses!! :mad:

chapter5-22.png


----------------


And finally, in a small office near the harbour, something is brewing. It is the calm before the storm...

The face was red and swollen, not unlike a tomato. Usually, Freyberg was a good-natured man who did not complain too often, but this time he was steaming with rage.

Freyberg: Bloody hell I can't take it any more! This is madness!

Savage: Whoa easy there! What's the matter?

Freyberg: You know bloody well what the matter is! It's the grotty holiday home you set up for me in Caracas! The stinking hell-hole is driving me nuts! Mosquitoes everywhere! Frickin Spaniard servants don't speak a word of English! You can't even ask them about fish&chips! And did I tell you about the weather? It's hot and humid in spring, hot and humid in summer, hot and humid in autumn, and do you know what it's like in winter?

Savage: I think I get the point-

Freyberg: HOT AND HUMID!!!! That's right! And I do all the bloody work while all you do is cackle like a maniac!

There was a brief moment of silence. The general was breathing heavily. He had made his point and was running out of steam.

Savage: Freyberg, look here. I can totally understand your point, but you see I'm the new dictator. How can I be a dictator if my subordinates can simply have what they want? That wouldn't be very fearsome and dictator-ish, now would it?

Freyberg blinked incredulously. This whole affair was getting more ridiculous by the minute.

Savage: BUT! As it so happens, I have good news for you. We will simply resolve your porblem by attacking Mexico!

Freyberg: :eek:

Savage: :D

Freyberg: What does Mexico have to do with my holiday home?

Savage: Easy, we conquer it and you can set up a new one. How does that sound?

Freyberg: Well, I reckon that's kind of reasonable...

Savage: Of course, I will order you to do it. After all I'm a dictator!

Freyberg: So... I can just ask you for what I want and you order it for me?

Savage: Yeah! I'm a dictator! I love dictating! Muhahaha! :D

Freyberg: :wacko:

Savage: So that's settled then. Now Mexico gets it!


--------------------


Mexico is the perfect target. A neutral country of 20 IC, directly within grasp of the mighty NZ transport fleet.
chapter5-23.png


Freyberg: I just hope they don't sink this time!

At first the landing looks troublesome. It is raining in mountainous Acapulco, and the NZ army is struggling to secure a beachhead.

chapter5-24.png


Freyberg: I need half the army to beat a single horse!? Oh man! :eek:o

But at long last, the troops conquer the shore.

chapter5-25.png


Freyberg: Nice, 6 infantry entrenched in the mountains, together with an airport. Mexico, you're toast!

Carr: I like toast :)

--------------

YES FOLKS YOU SAW RIGHT! Savage and Freyberg are back! I'm done holidaying and the crazy road trip will continue soon! BIG UPSET in next update - stay tuned!
