An American Heart - A tale of War, Adventure, and Bravery with supplemental graphics

[Sharur]

Well I've never been in the army, but I'm not bad at Goldeneye

Great battle description, Sytass. The pictures make it very easy to understand, and your prose is superb. I want more! *Goes mad*

Great battle. Gripping. Before long I'll know all the gaming titles in your collection

Oh you recognized it? The two maps are from three games, however....

Oh, and the black/white one's tactical markers were red for the English and blue for the Continentals. However, after applying the "aged newspaper" filter they looked the smae and I saved over the old before I noitced.

I am glad you've enjoyed my version of playing out a defeat.

very good update, especially the pictures, very nice.

Hey, friend!

I did'nt know you were so active over here....I'll read all your stuff sooner or later, but this one is great. Love to read about the Americans kicking British butt.

Hi, Greg, nice to see you. Have you been converted to the One True Faith finally, i.e. have you bought EU2 finally?

Yes, my time is limited, and what time I have I spend relaxing while writing my humble stories. I am glad you like this one.

 

[unmerged(295)]

For shame, my German friend! I bought EU 2 as soon as it came out in the stores over here! How did you get YOUR copy, since it has'nt been released in Germany yet?

Right now I'm fiddling around with some nations in the 1.03 patch and waiting for the MP function to get restored so I can start a new game.

If you want a challenge, you should try Japan.....or another one of those tiny Germany states. Barvaria looks tough to play -- it never surives a game I've seen.

We could use some screenies....any chance?

I ordered my game from a German online dealer, for a hefty 50% extra cost - which I found well worth it.

Screenies wouldn't offer much at the moment, as the map's still unchanged. I am no friend ofarmy-moving-screens in my AARs, either, though I like them in other AARs. I ususally make maps of dramatic changes in the political landscape (like in the War and Peace AAR).

I played a game with Holstein, and I did fairly well. A game as Saxony failed miserably. Currently (besides playing my part of Fellowship of the Kings and American Heart) I play a major for a change. Spain, seeking to establish a land route to India instead of going west. 40 years into the game, Algiers and Fez are mine already, and there are going to be long wars against the Mameluks who border me in the east. And a lot of money spent on missionaries, because north Africa just has to be Catholic.

Damn, I hate being outranked by you here when I can pull strings with your posts on UD's site.

Looking forward to the next part, when you have the chance to write it. I wish I could ask for inclusion into your story somewhere, but my last name (Polander) just does'nt fit.....

Greg

 

[Syt]

Well, why wouldn't it? There were some Generals with very Polish names, for instance.

I'd beg you for another update...but of course I already know what you're busy with

Great stuff! Keep 'em coming.

 

[Syt]

Don't worry, MrT, I am almost through with my part and will hopefully finish writing tomorrow or the day after, so things look good for an update soon.

 

[Syt]

Sorry for the lack of updates, but week time is work time. Coming home at 7 pm and having to get up at 5 am doesn't contribute well to keeping up the pace of writing. Next installment coming this weekend, promised.

 

[Sorcerer]

Aaaaah!

Here I am, sharpshooter in the Continental army, and I didn't see that you have re-written your American Heart AAR. Shame on me!

However, I have caught up now, and will never again miss an update! Great writing, this board is a home for the undiscovered literature jewels.

 

[unmerged(295)]

Bad news, Sytass has had to suspend all of his AAR's due to real life. Hopefully, he'll come back to this again at some point, and we can continue to read how the Americans kicked the British butts.

(Notice how no one from England has the guts to post in this thread? )

 

[Faeelin]

Because everyone knows the British win in the end.

 

[Sharur]

*laughing*

Heh heh... That's a good one, Faeelin! The Brits win... boy, that's funny

 

[das]

They could. Sytass, remember, your Saxony was a fiasko!

 

[Syt]

We will see.

Coming up next (don't know when, though):

The Skirmish at Gaynor's Ford

 

[Sorcerer]

Cool, now we get 3D graphics! Glad you're back...

 

[Syt]

Don't become too giddy yet.

This will be a busy week - tomorrow I'm off to see King Lear, and on sunday I'm embarking on a three weeks' trip to North Carolina to visit my sister.
