Well, I can annex them (it's easier to do right at the beginning of WKII because they didn't capture any VP outside Britain), but it's sometimes tedious to go all the way the Pacific to annex them. A few surrender events would be good.

Do you control London? You need the capital under your control as well as them not having any VP points.
Is there an event which allows Canada to gain cores on the UK in the event of annexation in 1.02? Or am I basically boned into liberating the UK and not ruling from His Imperial Majesty's new seat of power in Ottawa

The developers are VEHEMENTLY opposed to any form of Canadian-British Union. You can either occupy the islands with increased revolt, or set it free. They're less open with it than the Allies were with Germany post-WW2.
So I just played an interesting round as Poland. I got the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth back (I regret not being able to be bilingual, but they'd be overthrown by totalitarians otherwise), and I got the historic land back (I'll admit I used cheats here, since there's no way to do it peacefully at this point). Then I found myself at war with France, Spain, and Britain (RSI had dropped Syndicalism and joined the Federation).
The Spaniards helped the French keep the war at a stalemate, and I hardly had a big enough army to make a difference. Then I noticed that Germany was getting the crap bombed out of its industrial centers, and it was doing little to stop the British marauders. This would not do! So I built several wings of interceptors and set them on Air Scramble at all regions with large amounts of IC. I also built up AA and Radar in Warsaw, Lodz, and Kaunas, since they kept taking cheap shots at me (and only having 71 base IC means you can't afford to lose a lot, especially when building up an air force).
The defensive stance was successful in that I preserved both our IC. But it was still a stalemate. By 1943 I knew it was up to me to be the tie-breaker. But how? I only have 5 divisions on the front as a token support force, and my army was obsolete. That's when I decided to see if the Syndies could take what they were dishing out. I set about researching and building strategic bombers. I created 12 in all divided into 4 wings of 3. It took awhile, and I didn't get my last set until late 1945.
I started out by bombing Paris. I quickly learned that the French could do little to stop me. British interceptors would occasionally catch me, but about 50% of the time the escort fighters were able to drive them off. Soon 21 IC was turned into 0. A few months later, I discovered that my bombers had the sufficient range to literally reach any province in France. Rallying all available planes, I took to the skies, vowing to leave no factory unburned! My campaign of epic carpet bombing was a resounding success, with only a few interruptions due to accumulated damage. By the dawn of 1946, France's base IC had dropped from 180 to 10. They began experiencing massive supply shortages (Britain picked up the slack for a short time before I started carpet bombing them, too), and this was the edge the German's needed to break through. Just in time, too; the Communards had just made headway into Alsace-Lorraine.
Progress was slow for several months, but I kept the bombs falling steadily day and night, smashing every factory my bombers could catch in their sights. Finally, during the late summer, the Commune's army began collapsing. The army's size had been halved from 160 infantry to 82 during the first big supply shortage, but they were able to hold the Germans at bay (since I see that manpower has been buffed for the French), and the Reichswehr kept getting itself encircled and crushed. The constant lack of supply eventually won out, though, as their numbers continued to decline in an effort to conserve usable IC. Hell, my token army was even able to act as a spearhead into Spain before the year was out! As I post this, France and Spain are in ruins. Portugal has been liberated with a new king, but the Spain annexation event hasn't fired yet.
Right now the Brits are taking the full force of my aerial wrath. I hope to starve out their ships and airplanes (one of my bomber wings is constantly cratering the runways; I'm going to start on their ports when I play next). There hasn't been a British air sortie in a long time; I think most of the RAF is too badly damaged to fly, since they now only have 8 or so IC from all the bombing, so they can't repair whenever they get mobbed by my interceptors. I plan on constructing a few fighters to secure air superiority, as well as some transports and paratroopers. My hope is that the Germans will start landing troops if I open up a spot for them.

Hi, I don't know if this is the right thread to ask, if it's not, just ignore me: I want to write a Kaiserreich AAR, but I don't know any screencapture programs and image hosting sites. I would much appreciate if you could give me advice. Thanks a lot!
This isn't really the right thread but imageshack has always been good for when I uploaded pictures and screenshots to it. I forget what button lets you take screenshots though... I think it's the printscreen button on your keyboard.
Just download FRAPS, and bind a good screenshot key, very handy.
Okay, sorry for taking so long but here you go. I've finally gotten the mod mostly fixed and got it sorted out.
Eventually I would like to make a few changes, fine-tuning the equipments available and also put ALL of the equipment options listed in the casualty list to use, but everything's currently tracking just fine and I haven't noticed any issues. I might add further modding to set (warships) to the 1:1 level, and also increase transport fleet sizes to larger than one vessel eventually, but at the moment all values should be Vanilla. I'll also be getting in touch with the KR folks on their forums for as much of the background military information as I can so I can restructure the entire things as best as possible.
To install: Open the Kaiserreich Casualty Tracking 103 folder and copy the contents into the Kaiserreich folder in your Mod directory for Darkest Hour. Requires the v1.03RC2 compatability patch for Kaiserreich, of course.
Enjoy! Any questions, comments, problems, etc, just let me know here.
EDIT: Problem seems fixed.

You could have probably taken out France and Spain faster by investing all those IC/days you used for the strat bombers into INF. You could have made a good 50 divisions if you had the manpower.
EDIT: It wouldn't have been as cool, though. Rule of cool is why I insist on using a ridiculous amount of mechanized infantry even if it keeps me from having a reasonably sized army.
I tried fraps, set a directory for the pictures to be saved in, set a hotkey (standard f10), pressed it a few times (while fraps was running, of course)... and nothing happened! Any idea what I am doing wrong? Please help!
It's probably that you set it to F10. F10 is usually (I think) the pause menu key. SO hitting it will bring up the menu does nothing. Remap it to something like insert or delete, then try.
