In other news, Bukkhara pays off her debts. No one is quite sure who Bukkhara owed money to. But it no longer matters, because the debt is now paid off.

Great news! A flurry of young men in the Samarkhand region rush up to their local recruiting offices and sign up for the Bukkharan Army. Kokand complains about this, daring to insinuate that the fine young volunteers were forced to join the army by a process known as conscription. Of course, only the vile Kokandish...

Kokanderian....

Kokanda....

People from Kokand could ever imagine such a horrific concept as forcing people to join the Army! Why would peaceful and prosperous Bukkhara ever do so, when its fine young men in Samarkhand willingly volunteered to join the army by the tens of thousands?

These volunteers have been organized into four 'divisions' of 'irregulars'.

Have you tried a hand at guessing my birthyear yet, General Guisan? Since no one has guessed it yet, I'll give you two chances.

Years that are not my birthyear:
1978
1980
1984
1986

Basically it's somewhen before 1991 and after 1975.

You get two guesses.

*sees the funny man dancing on one leg with both hands tied behind his back*

Funny and effective. I feel I have the flavor of the game better than in a lot of AARs where tons of ink was spilled.

1974?

Sorry, Gen. Guisan, but both of yours are wrong. However, you only missed it by one year. I'm not telling you which, though. ;)

I should have an update later today.

Ah, and I'm greatly enjoying your AAR! Keep it up!

Also, it's fascinating that you've done BOTH this and the amazing ethiopian one.

Great news everybody! The nation of Kokand is having a party! A gigantic celebration to be celebrated in the cities of Alma-Ata, Kokand, Tashkent, and Chimkent! The entire army of Bukkhara is invited, and tens of thousands of eager party guests travel east to celebrate.

bokhara32.jpg


It was a great party, during which many deep-seated insecurities were revealed. It turned out that the people from Kokand were frustrated with their lack of a noun form. Were they Kokanderish? Kokandian? Kokandlanderesian? What were they? But in the end everyone agreed. It would be far better to be Bukkharan than to keep arguing over what they should call themselves.

Rule Bukkhara! Bukkhara rules the....

Well, in truth, all Bukkhara rules is a desolate patch of barren steppe only good for raising sheep located deep in the armpit of the world. The only difference this made was that they now rule more of it.

Sigh...

In other, much more boring news, Egypt has managed to choke a good part of Mesopotamia from the Ottoman Empire, even though Ottoman troops are clearly visible in Egyptian territory.
