okay, now i must finally know who from KR team hates Reagan :D
Nobody knows :p
Even on the KR forum last time it was brought to attention no nodded could remember that. That must be old, very old
 
Well maybe they just prefer the works of Gary Cooper to Reagan.

I think the Japanese "Democracy" is sort of like OTL were there was a parliament, but it was very limited in power.
 
National France, Japan, Australasia, Portugal, Ukraine, Delhi, Canada, who isn't going squishy or outright red?! :mad:
I mean, good on the Swedes, Russians, and MacArthur's America, but still!

Well it's still early in Japans development. They still may cordon off islands and force school kids to fight to the death sometime in the future, depending on how dystopian this world gets. I think it's also too early to tell with France, they may still select a monarch.

But the others... Yeah, Canada isn't going Crown Atomic for sure. There's still hope Oswald Mosley will take over the Union of Britain, and El Duce is still in the game. Plus the AOG. :p

But good on Sweden for embracing viking style manliness.
 
Interesting Reagan detail, I guess that in this timeline he did reach much celebrity, although if he is mentioned in your paper, he must have had some significance.
 
Democracy!Japan? Or will this be the dystopian state observed in the Battle Royale movies? Only time will tell.

I assume that after the Niigata riots the parliament of Japan is going to be carefully watched by the military to ensure that the wrong party - i.e. the Syndicalists - won't have a shot at power. Most of the real power resides with the government anyway which serves at the Emperor's pleasure. The OTL IJA/IJN conflict over resources will likely happen again as Japan will have to decide if it wants to be a maritime or continental power first. A conflict that could lead to more power for the parliament (or less democracy).

At least the situation in Formosa and Korea will likely be far better for the inhabitants so that's a net positive. Also, Japan will sooner or later have to take the interests of its puppets into account. While it is stronger than any single one of them, together they are strong enough to stand up to the Emperor if they choose to do so. I don't see this happening immediately but it is something to keep in mind.

Only time will tell which road the Empire will take.

Not every country in the world needs to be either a fascist or syndie dictatorship. ;) Democracies are fun because they add an element of uncertainty every election cycle. Which is a good thing for the post-war plot.

Having said that, there'll be plenty of bad stuff (tm) to come.

Not everything is important. I do like to include insignificant or simply weird stuff if I have the space for it. Many of the flavour events are pretty interesting. Besides, who wouldn't want to watch the Kaiserreich version of Plan 9 from Outer Space with Reagan?

Good work, Philippines, handling that (presumably) peacefully (after all, the garrison and administration still exist to be sent home). And getting recognized by Japan is a good sign for the future, too.

Funny thing is about the whole "Iron Guard Romania" thing is that Codrenau was a monarchist himself, but its the KR team's call, not mine.

Fair enough, but they're absolute murder to regularly program for a one-man modding team. I speak from experience. :(
 
A Pan-African concept might be more viable in case increased hostilities in mainland Europe start.
 
I have a question: How do you write this AAR? Do you write while you play? And the messages of other nations often have only a short text, not the whole event is described in detail. Tell me how you produce your AAR :)

Considering that the nearest US-friendly port can be found in Liberia and the US navy is busy sinking itself, the takeover was very friendly. Now all the Commonwealth has to do is to *stay* independent.

I just assume he is this history's version of Adm. Horthy who was after all the "Regent" taking care of the Hungarian throne. That didn't stop him from doing everything in his power to make sure no Habsburg could actually claim that throne.

A Pan-African concept might be more viable in case increased hostilities in mainland Europe start.

As both Mitteleuropa and the Entente would like to keep their colonies and can slap around any uppity African state rather easily, the chances of success have to be rated low at the moment. Once the Weltkrieg starts, who knows...?

You know, it's only been a month and Commie Jack is already on the run. ;) Wonder how that darn Kingfish is faring.

See below. So far he seems content to watch his opponents bleed each other dry, which is not a bad idea actually. Reports of Reed's demise are a bit premature though.

No, I don't write as I play. The entire game log is duplicated within the save file which I then can parse at my leisure to find interesting things. It just contains the event choices and not the full text but it is a good place to start.

As for the events themselves, you can look them up in your ...\mods\Kaiserreich for DH 1.7\db\events\... folder where they are sorted by country and/or fire them via the console (F12) at any time if you know the event-ID (which can be found out in aforementioned folder). For example typing "event123456" into the console immediately fires the event with the ID 123456 for the current country, regardless of its intended recipient.

Brazil's reforms are quite radical to say the least, so they will most likely cause more tension internally and across Latin America. I wonder if an insurrection might not erupt.
 
Such a warm and fuzzy Japan this time around; I love it. Glad that the Civil War isn't going to be a cakewalk for the Feds, either - it's always more interesting that way.
 
Imperial Japan is a weaboo apologist dream come true! Bah.

1942:
Bravely the heroic and outnumbered IJN tries to hold back the unending hordes of the American dictatorship that is trying to extinguish the shining beacon of democracy across the Pacific... ;)

It's still early though and lots of things can go wrong / right.

IMO it is good if the Civil War triggers early as there is less time for the US to build ground troops and stockpile manpower while the number of rebel divisions is fixed. Of course it helps if the US makes some questionable troop deployments early.

Yes, not everybody will be pleased by that action - least of all the people whose land is getting confiscated.

On the foreign policy front you are right that not all of Brazil's neighbors would be unhappy if the socialist experiment suffered a setback or two.

Hey come on the Enigma was not that bad!

Ah, with the death of von Seeckt will there be changes within the Imperial Army?
 
German imperialism even in Antarctica! May the Syndicalists crush it.
 
I'm really liking this style- its pretty impressive how much detail the KR developers put into it. Also, has anyone figured out who you're playing? My guesses would be Russia or Delhi.
