Very "eleventh hour" but here we go. Before I list, I would just like to offer the view that the quality of writing in AARland is extremely strong; there really is something for everyone and the sense of community that was present when I first joined twelve years ago is as strong (in some ways stronger) than ever.
So, here is my list; I have yet to really explore CK2 or Stellaris, more for lack of effort by me than an absence of good material:
EU4
1. Vanguards of the Revolution by @AxolotlKnight (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...onary-france-aar.1404929/page-2#post-26765231)
2. Historical Record of the Regiment de Grenadiers a Pied de Normandie by @cm_spitfire (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...nt-de-grenadiers-a-pied-de-normandie.1242741/)
Vic2
1. Echoes of a A New Tomorrow: Life after Revolution in the Commonwealth of Britain by @DensleyBlair (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...alth-of-britain.1201433/page-20#post-26770653) - on this one, this is not just IMO the best Vic2 AAR, it is one of the best AARs out there, full stop / period.
2. Annuntio Vobis: A Papal History of Italy by @slothinator (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...history-of-italy.1402469/page-3#post-26769895)
3. May the Sun Never Set: A British AAR by @Jape (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/may-the-sun-never-set-a-british-aar.1394423/)
HOI4
1. The Saar Offensive a single battle AAR by @GeneralMiller (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...ve-a-single-battle-aar.1400637/#post-26767255) - a wonderful example of how AARs can be brilliant as well as brief!
2. The Thorn of the Rose by @stnylan (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/the-thorn-of-the-rose.1385418/page-14#post-26770699) - simply put, some of the best narrative writing that you will ever see.
3. The Fifth Empire - A Fascist Portugal AAR by @Knave (who seems anything but) (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/the-fifth-empire-a-fascist-portugal-aar.1403714/)
Other
1. (EU Rome) Civis Romanus Sum (An EU-Rome Vae Victis AAR) by @Bullfilter (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...-vae-victis-aar.1102893/page-61#post-26770021)
2. (HOI3) "A werhraboo and a hat in charge of Italy" A story AAR by @Farsky (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...a-hat-in-charge-of-italy-a-story-aar.1312087/)
And finally, "the Daddy"...
3. (HOI2) The Butterfly Effect: A British AAR by @El Pip (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/the-butterfly-effect-a-british-aar.229679/) - superlative defying excellence, the greatest of them all. The ring of power, if you will, of AARland.
Thank you very much for organising and advertising this, particularly @Nikolai
