Fantastic start...best of luck with this and welcome to AAR writing

 

[stnylan]

Welcome to AAR writing, I hope you enjoy yourself.

 

[IconOfEvi]

Will be watching!

Allusions in the future are often interesting, since if you read between the lines, there's much that can make you wonder!

Been a while since we've seen a Union State playthrough around these parts. I'll be following with interest

 

[der Kriegsherr]

Finally! Almost never see an AUS AAR!

Things are ramping up, getting ready to fall apart.

An incredibly volatile domestic situation, with an increasingly divided nation looking for a way out of the looming crisis -- the perfect environment for a man like Long.

There's a reason FDR feared him in real life.

Sad to hear about the lost hard drive, but glad to see this will be continuing

Oh yes. The Kingfish rises from the south, ready to battle the corrupt. Very good storytelling, really enjoying this 'un. Subbed.

Great to see this back and awesome chapter Looking forward to seeing the future adventures of Long and Gang

In Kaiserreich, as in real life, the rise of a firebrand like Long from practically nothing to a figure of national renown has always amazed me. I probably wouldn't endorse his politics if he were around today or if I had been alive back then, but I've always had a soft spot for narratives of lofty and sometimes tragic ambition, and Long as a character never fails to satisfy.

Every man a King!

A good intro, let's see how the American Civil war will look like.

 

[stnylan]

The gauntlet has been thrown

 

[Crimson Lionheart]

Long performed well even despite this defeat. While he failed to win Washington, he has won the hearts of the South

 

[Maciej-Kamil]

Your writing is great - it is a really interesing story, even though we know what will happen.

I definitely agree that the China rework has made a much more interesting and dynamic situation in the Far East, though a small part of me is going to miss the Mad Baron and his insane ambitions of being Genghis Khan Reborn. It'll be interesting to see how much of that is ported over to the DH version in the long run.

If I've done my math right, there's no majority in the Electoral College, which means a contingent election and all the headaches that brings. This will be one messy election...
