I wasn't planing on including the Benelux at all, are there any ideas on how I can do this? (The end justifies the means.)
Remember the sooner I can rig this thing the sooner Germany can start spamming it's Panzers at me.

Luxembourg is German and Belgium and the Netherlands need to be invaded as part of the original Von Schlieffenplan (they later changed it before WWI to exclude the Netherlands).
Yes I can't believe i forgot that, Luxembourg is a German claim, I think I know how I can fix this.
Yes, exams are over, for a while...
Just wanted to say something about my latest DAIM game (hard/furious), it's Nationalist China, attempting World Conquest (what else?).
Note that this does not count as an update, I just don't feel like placing it in our Reader Group.
I started off concentrating on infantry and mountains, using one of the worst sets of tech teams in the game, but still I managed to drive the Japanese out Korea by '38
Then the event fired and we were in peace with the Rising Sun once more.
After unifying china I turned on the allies, invading India and Indochina.
I don't play with puppets that often but since it's DAIMs and my TC was through the roof I thought, why not?
Pressing through the rest of the middle east while pushing back landings by the British everywhere.
I kept on concentrating on infantry, land techs and a lot of INT, CAS and TAC, I became owner the second most powerful airforce in the world!
I pressed on into Africa, crushing and bombing lots of allies along the way, even invading Saudi Arabian, which later proved to be a stupid mistake.
Meanwhile Hitler was happily unifying Europe, the French are almost completely wiped out.
After gaining some ground in Africa I diverted most of my troops to turkey, and subdued it, by that time I was also DoWed by an axis member (forgot which one).
Japan also join Axis and I engaged them by Air, reducing their fleets to scrap, grounding their planes permanently and stomping on their precious IC.
And invasion was to be done later one.
Gained some ground early on in the nearly undefended Balkan, trapped and killed a lot of Italians, and remained on the same front for nearly 1,5 years, while my bomber were pounding their ranks to dust.
Germany's troop count was rapidly decreasing, when they came from around 300 divisions.
Their Barbarossa also turned on them, and by the '42, the race for Germany was on.
The USSR managed to claim soma land but I cut them off just before Berlin and claimed the rest as my own. Aha!
The USA also joined the war, dows USSR.
I have war with everyone but the Reds, good thing to.
First thing USA does is stack Yemen and Oman with ungodly amounts of infantry, reaching to around 30 divs a province, my already slow advance is halted.
The rest of Africa also reaches a bloody stalemate, most of my troops are diverted to Europe.
When Germany collapses the cowardly allies land on the empty beaches, UK, France AND the USA all at the same time, really heroic.o
Spain goes Ally, Portugal goes Axis, you can guess the rest.
By then I also claimed most of Indonesia, using entirely Airborne divisions, no ships whatsoever.
Germany gets the Surrender Event late '38, and this is when thing that to get FUCKED UP.
The allies each get a piece of the unclaimed German land, receding the Benelux to it's former owners, still war with Belgium, not with the Netherlands.
Quite a bit of the other provinces were given to the USSR for some strange reason, a nation that doesn't even border with Germany anymore.
occupied parts of Scandinavia liberated, as well as parts of Poland and a tiny Czechoslovakia created by the Reds.
USA liberated his German provinces into the GDR, which is also at peace with me.
Here is the Diplomatic mapmode:
I'm sorry, this is too Random, even for me, I quit.

PS: I'll work on the voting and the new update tomorrow, hope this will keep you entertained.

I'm currently reading through this, very excellent indeed, only on page six though, just found your comment "Furthermore they were equipped with oversized novelty hats, therefore their morale was sky high" to be too funny :rofl: so... I naturally added it as a quote to my sig, it's properly credit to you, so I hope you don't mind
Meanwhile, back to page six... I've got a lot to read through!

They ordered the iron curtain to be made by someone who really couldn't make proper curtains?
I would like to be an Air General, but I still have to find a nice name
Now I've got a name that could be used; SweBeck and I would like to command bombers!
(sorry for the delay, I forgot that post
o)
Can I be as follows?
Von Muffin;999999;ALB;1929;1930;1932;1934;0;9;7;3;0;5;0;M87;1900;1952;x
(for non-modders, thats Field Marshal Von Muffin ID no 999999 of Albania, Promoted to Mj General in 1929, Lt General in 1930, General in 1932 and Field Marshal in 1934. He's Ideally a Field Marshal, Max Skill of 9, A Def/Off/Logistica and Skill 3 at start with no experience. He's Loyal and a Land Leader. He has portrait M87 and was born in 1900, making him 34 now. He'll potentially die in 1952)

Yeah, I can totally remember having like 70 pages of this stuff to read through (or was it 60? more likely...) Anyway, good luck, it'll be fun!
There's still the bigger AAR left, though: The Channel Pact, in which I'm going page 50 or 60 or something, haven't been able to read it for a while...
So yeah, good luck reading this epic piece of art!
Just came from the Estonian-Albanian football match, score was 0:0 in the end. We had a pole hit and a goal, which didn't count because the referee, well... the mods wouldn't appreciate me saying the exact words, but lets just say his gender preference was put into question and he was told to perform a sort of intimate action with himself.
Now what would be the fun in that?
yeah, I didn't have a lot of inspiration for the map, but a random "?" never fails.My god, they could roll under entire regiments and swallow them into the eternal black abyss, oblivion.
Nope, but that would be cool, give him Greenland and northern Canada!
Correct! At least someone remembered.
And where might said photobucket archive be?
Now that would be bad, really bad...
This would almpst certainly result in a German WC by '40Just make Germany's IC Level OVER 9000!!!
Naturally one can't be very happy about a nation consuming half of Europe, but they know all too well that declaring war on us would result in their own demise.
They think that in order to drive fascism from Europe, they have to let them finish each other off first...
Hahaha, great reply!
Indeed the Germans would be scared shitless!
this ^I for one don't really care about the national sovereignty of my home country, let the Germans have it!I vote for option B, though imo the lower countries should be included too... shame though all that pretty orange
Anyways
Edit the green stuff, make it a country with santa as leader and elves as ministers. And give it like 1-3000 offmap IC's & helicopter tech
Then make them elligble to attack any communist or facist state... only those goodie goodie 2 shoes allied states are not under threath by evil-santa :rofl:
ma 2 cents
Democratic Santa? That doesn't make sense, he rules over his elven minions with an Iron fist!
His damned slaved work day and night in his cursed workshops, worked to death!
Does this sound like a happy democracy to you?
No. No it doesn't !
Thanks for the reference, I hope you enjoy the rest.I'm currently reading through this, very excellent indeed, only on page six though, just found your comment "Furthermore they were equipped with oversized novelty hats, therefore their morale was sky high" to be too funny :rofl: so... I naturally added it as a quote to my sig, it's properly credit to you, so I hope you don't mind
Meanwhile, back to page six... I've got a lot to read through!
And when you are done, don't forget to read The Channel Pact, but to be honest, it is a little larger than this one.
Indeed, you were on my list but I still needed a name. good.Now I've got a name that could be used; SweBeck and I would like to command bombers!
(sorry for the delay, I forgot that post
Normally I don't take any new leaders, the list is long as it is, but I can make an exception for you.Can I be as follows?
Von Muffin;999999;ALB;1929;1930;1932;1934;0;9;7;3;0;5;0;M87;1900;1952;x

You mean when is there going to another Interlude update, or what happened to the tiny nation in my China game?What happened with Estonia??
If Albania and Estonia should duke it out in a full scale war, who would win?
(Not taking into account Emperor Konstantin and Emperor Zog.
)You just read the overview of my recent China DAIM game, and it is not a part of the normal updates.
The thing is posting this in the Reader Group wouldn't spam my thread, but it will get a lot less attention, so this will have to do.
Just to be clear on this:
CENTERED PICTURES = UPDATE
NON CENTERED PICTURES = NOT AN UPDATE
NON CENTERED PICTURES = NOT AN UPDATE
Note: As an indication on which game I am updating, notice the subtle borders my screens have, and the color of the rapidly expanding blob on the world map.
I will try to play through an update now, update tonight!

August 21, 1938, Tirana Albanian Empire
With a loud thud Emperor Zog of the Albanian Empire threw open the gates of his widely decorated Throne Hall.
All the surprised minions turned their heads as their Master walked toward his Throne, dragging behind him his Crimson cloak.
"Emperor, you have returned already?" one of his advisors asked
"You observed correctly, have you done as I asked?" Zog replied and sat down in his comfortable seat.
"Yes we have my Lord, the declaration of war has been sent to Italy, after we gave the orders to our troops to attack."
"Excellent, what else?"
Zog drew his trusty sidearm, the Combat Shovel, and started cleaning it for bloodstains.
"And the Italians have even sent us a message back." The advisor handed Zog the document, entitled "Event 3500"
Zog carefully read through the ultimatum, apparently Mussolini proposed that They would not harm Albania if we lay down our arms now, otherwise they would retaliate with an attempt at force.
"How fucking old is this thing?!" the emperor shouted
"I'm not a King, was this document made in 35 or something?!"
Zog threw the document to one of his cowering minions, and continued cleaning his Shovel.
The loyal advisor was he first to break the awkward silence that had formed "The first reports from the front are also in Sir, we have achieved overwhelming successes against the cowardly Italians."
"Of course we have, they are not supported by Germany, how else can they achieve a victory?"
"Good point Sir." The advisor looked through some other files he carried with him "Ah yes, and today the first field test of our Tanks have been completed"
Zog sheeted his sidearm "Excellent, tell me all about our newest weapon!"
"Apparently our new "Boar" Parzmore seem to fight less affectively as the rest of our already veteran troops, and they are slower to."
Zog was rather disappointed "Oh well, they will get better if we upgrade them to Scorpions, who is leading the charge by the way?"
"The new Parmore Leader my Lord, a certain "MastahCheef" as he calls himself, he is a loyal supporter of our cause and has great ambitions"
"And more importantly, he has an amusing mustache!"
"So he has, I guess time will tell how he performs on the battlefield."
Zog glanced at his cloak "Speaking of battlefields, does my cloak have bloodstains? hard to see if it's crimson you know."
"I don't think so Emperor" the minion replied "I trust you had fun fighting the Scourge in Karabük?"
An evil grin appeared on Zog's face "I sure did, I should do it more often!" He said and leaned back in his throne.
Field Marshall Benjamin Shehu, leader of "First Human Wave Army"
After some initial successes in Italy, our great Albanian forces encountered a large blockade in Milan, where over 120 000 Italian troops had gathered.
The enemy is equally good equipped, but have more elitist divisions, as all Albanian Commando's are currently still in New Turkey.
Our major advantage was that of numbers, much to the dismay of Zog, the Emperor prefers the swift efficiency of fast commando's and Tanks over the brute strength of the mob.
But in order to win this, we don't have a choice.
Our forces have spread around the fortified province, there is no way they could possible stand against this!
Meanwhile the Albanian Airforce has rebased in Split, will the Italian Airforce prove inferior? Or will our planes be grounded permanently?

Mussolini must not have read the new map, Albania is three or four times larger than his nation.
Every Albanian male, excluding Zog, is fighting in Italia?
Including those cool moustaches.
