At the risk of sounding like a pedantic cock, the Rio Grande should pass south of Laredo, the Nueces to the north. Probably entirely cosmetic.
But thanks a many. This will definitely be a release day job.

Cool, and it almost seems as if historical leaders are in the game afterall...
Next time lets have a longer AAR eh? Maybe China, an AAR we can read all the way until release. Have the office tea-boy do it!

Go somewhere else, we don't want people like you here that complain about free things.
I must say it was kinda short (who wouldn't? we all want more!), but it was indeed quite amusing Thank you!
Thank you!
Wow, that map looks gorgeous.
I hope this doesn't mean that Texas is going to get annexed that quickly in every game, though.

Thanks for the AAR. I very pleasant surprise. I'm dying to see the national focus in action. Maybe in the next AAR or DD?
Very nice! I like the eyecandy in Vicky2. All the icons make the game looking very good. A huge improvement compared to EU3, EU:R and HOI3.
I dont agree with Prinz Wilhelm, it was an interesting AAR even if it was short, but I think it was an unfair reason to ban him for.
Johan is considerably better at designing games than at beating them, which doesn't mean he is a weak player, far from it, but that you cannot draw conclusions akin to the one you seem to suggest.
More to the point, perhaps, is that given Texas' apparent starting position it is probably going to be the Orleans of Victoria 2, and its survival as a player nation will depend on getting a few lucky combat or diplomacy rolls at the start of the game or possibly the use of some tricky abuse of game mechanics, while it'll die as an AI nation nearly every time.
Then again, it is possibly that Johan has played suboptimally on purpose just to give us a good teaser (or specifically to tease the Texas fanboys
). He is a rather cunning fellow, after all.But let us see how it goes.
Hopefully the next will last longer but anyway V2 looks great, thanks for this.
I would like to know if the modifiers from V1 will be in the game combat system(for example having additional bonuses from artillery, shore bombardment, dig in, etc. )

Reminded me of that EU3 Byzantium AAR on Very Hard done in February by someone:rofl:.
2 regiments and a population of 15k, that meant almost half the Texan population was in the army.
