Hello everyone. Recently I've been toying around with the settling accounts mod, and have decided to do a game as GER anylizing the mod as much as possible. Instead of doing just that, I decided to make an AAR out of it too. This means the first half of an update will be the story, the second half will be my latest thoughts on the mod. It won't interfer much with my UK AAR (update on that tomorrow btw!), as its just me testing the mod, then writing a story in my free time. To start off I have January 36 though June 36 (or atleast thats how much I've playes so far). I'm sorry to say, some pics were lost do to moddir being odd.

In 1936, the German Empire under Wilhelm II was agining. Yes, it had won the war, but only just. In the inter-war years, much of the army was disbanded, and varrious other cuts were made. Thankfully, all was quite. In 1936, the German General Staff decided the time was right to revitalize the German empire.
The army, while not as large as durring the great war, was in excellent shape. The only change was to move it up closer, and take control of the German protectorates millitary. The airforce was small, but compentent, some reorganization was done. The navy was the worse off, while still decent. Major reorginization was done, in the end 3 sub fleets, 2 SAGs, and 1 CTF were made. Doctorines were bad, but the staff was indecive on weather to change them.
On the political front, the new planners generaly agreeded the social choices of the day were in bad condition. Change would be slow and painfull. The ministers were ok, and no command changes made however.
Technology was decent. More is always nice however. The General staff directed that industry should be improved above all.
When asked what whould be produced, the staff has pritorties all sorted out.
1. Fill gaps in millitary (1 int ordered)
2. Improve industry (8 runs of 4 ic)
3. Create a new formation based on the barral (tank, for those who don't know)
The last created some controvery. The barral was still a new idea, and while used successfuly in America, was the old ways of Europe ready for it? The General staff wanted to develop the way, if only to keep up with the competition. Two corps were ordered. Later when more production was freeded up, five infantry corps would be ordered to appease the old guard.
(sorry, lost that pic)
With planning done, the general staff headed out...

My observations on the mod.
1. I realy laugh when some puppets have more IC then the ottomans, witch are a MAJOR central power.
2. Along those lines, shouldn't Bulgaria be a central power, or atleast a way to get a connection through there?
