***Approved by Qorten***
Hello!
This thread is where the actual game updates will be posted, when this AAR begins properly. This AAR is an alt-history Soviet Union AAR; the point of departure is Sergei Kirov's murder in 1934. IRL, this is widely considered the trigger for the purges. In our timeline, it doesn't quite go as planned -- the first update will be a prologue that sets the stage. As a result, Stalin is not a dictator, for various reasons, in this AAR -- he is bound by his fellow Politburo members. He is first among equals, closer to historical Khrushchev than historical Stalin in terms of what he can and cannot do.
As a reminder, per HOI3 AARland rules, there are certain topics which may not be discussed. Before posting, please check here.
(Yes, I'm Stalin. )
House rules:
1. No cheating.
2. No reloading.
3. Nothing excessively gamey (as determined by the active participants).
4. All armies and above on AI control; exceptions are marines, paratroopers, and the opening stages of invasions.
5. All trade is automated.
Feel free to comment here, but not in the admin thread (unless you're a player); that will keep things tidy. I will also announce all position vacancies in this thread; please respond via PM if you're interested. At present, I have eight openings for candidate members of the Politburo; again, please PM me if you're interested. Do not reply in-thread.
Peace time updates are six months; war time updates will be two months.
Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the ride!
