Hello there. I recently played a campaign as russia in the excellent MDS mod, and thought that it would make a pretty good AAR. I have seen many other MDS aar's recently, and thought I would take a shot at one myself. I hope you all enjoy reading it.
Setup:
Modern Day Scenario v1.5
difficulty/aggressiveness: normal/normal
mods:
-Industry costs 4ic each and builds in approx. 255 days, and when completed creates 1ic instead of the default MDS setting of 0.5ic. I am hoping that this way, many countries including my own will be able to fight with large amounts of fairly expensive units.
-lots of sprites that I found floating around on the internet.
cheats:
nofog, so I can see if the other nations' AI's are doing anything stupid, and because I hate the fog of war. Besides, its the modern era, and Russia does have spy satellites.
With that out of the way, lets begin!
When the new Russian Federation was proclaimed in december of 1991, it had been turned into a shadow of its predecessors, the Soviet Union and the Russian empire. Many of its territories had fallen away from its control, and some of them, such as Georgia, the Ukraine, and the Baltics, were actually coming under the orbit of the western powers, and especially the united states, who now rule the earth with complete disregard to international laws.
It is now march of 2003. The US and its allies have begun their adventure in Iraq, and new powers, such as China and India, have begun to grow in strength. Russia has recovered somewhat from the economic turmoil and military stagnation of the 1990's, but there is still much to be done. The time has come for Russia to raise like a Phoenix from the ashes, to reassert its power on the world stage, and eventually, replace the United States as the worlds sole superpower. Once again, nations will tremble before the might of a new Russian Empire!

confused: ). Hopefully this one won't go the same way.
