This is your punishment for dragging me back into Aurora4X.
At least you have retained your taste.
It would be interesting to see how China would do if forced to face a Japan under the wise and benevolent leadership of only the IJN. But then such geniuses would never get sucked into a land war in the first place.
- In recent arrivals, it is my pleasure to direct the readAARs to RustyHunter's Republic of China HPP AAR, featuring the HPP mod which can always benefit from greater exposure on the boards. Join RustyHunter and the rest of us as
conclusive proof is given that the Imperial Japanese Army should have been disbanded and its assets folded into the far superior Imperial Japanese NavyChina kicks ass.
I can thoroughly recommend not clicking on this. While it is indeed most excellent it would also serve as a gateway drug to Aurora itself, and that is not something I could have on my conscience.
An excellent choice, congratulations indeed @roverS3 a richly deserved win.

All right. Ladies & Gentlemen, time to pass this on, but first, a brief intermission to advertise new and brilliant works on this forum.
They first appeared on my radar back on the 1st of September 2019 (I checked), when they politely corrected an error in my writing, which is something I encourage. There were a few more questions that day, and they vanished from whence they came. (I might have chased them away...)
This nomination isn't so much about their brief foray into my own work (which isn't everyone's cup of tea), but about their recent comeback, in the shape of a run of quality comments on Talking Turkey: Alternate History from 1936, @Bullfilter 's main HOI3 AAR (there is a second active one...). These include insights about game mechanics, jokes, and well-chosen period photographs, to the benefit of all those reading.
Come on up @37th Armoured div , and take this thing off me before it breaks my back.
I'd like to thank those who congratulated me:
@Le Jones , @Specialist290 , @Idhrendur , @RustyHunter , @TheAnguishedOne , @The Number 9 ,
Finally, I would like to thank all the fans who take the time to comment on the works they read and enjoy.
I wish you all good health, and many interesting comments.
- A Gentleman's War : The Middle-East Command (HoI3 TFH - UK AAR) by @Eurasia . After the brilliant and often (un)intentionally funny interactive story of Utsunimiya's Japan was cut short, it's prolific authAAR bounced back with a comedic take on the British Middle East Command, which doubles as an AI experiment to find out how things work out when you only run one front and let the AI run the rest of the empire. The appearance of characters from the popular tv series Blackadder is icing on the cake. Need I say more?
- The King's First Minster by @El Pip. Here, the AuthAAR asks the question: What if you told an alternate version of the events of 1066 as a tapestry? (based on a CK2 game) And what if it was actually a comedy? Some light-hearted fun is to be had, though I do hope our lord of slower than real time would return to this recent masterpiece of his. (though I'm not complaining about the pace of updates on TBE)
- Echoes of A New Tomorrow: Life after Revolution in the Commonwealth of Britain by @DensleyBlair. I'm still catching up on this masterpiece, but so far it's been great. I'm not sure what the link with Victoria 2 is, but the alternate political reality in which a socialist revolution grips Britain is brilliantly written. It is told through the lens of those who live in this alternate reality, be it through excerpts from memoirs and books, transcripts of tv programmes, documentaries and interviews etc. Well worth a read if you have the time, and have even a passing interest in politics, state-building, or alternate history. (so most of you)

Ever wake up one morning and realise that someone’s given you something you knew nothing about?
Well, thank you very much to @roverS3 for bringing a happy , surprised smile to the face of an Aussie !
And same to @TheAnguishedOne, @Midnite Duke, and @Eurasia
and especially to @Bullfilter, for making the aar that got me this unexpected prize.
There’s so many better acceptance speeches out there, so I feel a bit bad at writing, but oh well.

Don’t worry, it was mainly me falling off the hoi3 train onto the eu4 wagon. Sorry if I made you think otherwise.

Many congratulations to @37th Armoured div ! Anyone active in the Talking Turkey thread is obviously a person of keen intelligence and good taste
Belated congratulations also to @roverS3, and thank you very much for your kind words about Echoes. In answer to your question about the actual link to Vicky 2, the timeline started out as a 1920-start UK game. After 1934 things start to move off into fantasy land
