Version: Vanilla DD Armageddon with different skins, my colourscales and the New Nations Mod.
Welcome to a miniAAR. Why a MiniAAR? This is more a documentary of my current game which I thought I would share with the community. Its not an epic, its not an engaging story with likeable and hateful characters. Its not even well writen in flowery or historical text.
No.
Its a game, with summaries and a set of screenshots.
Just to show how much I suck at this game.
Now some of you may (likely not) have remembered my first AAR report as I played Germany and inched my way towards Moscow in excruciatingly slow time. It was humorous in nature (as this likely will be) and was inspired by a set of posts in the HoI2 expansion subforum. This is no different - it is inspired by screenshots of failure posted in the Awesome Screenshots thread.
So without further ado.
The story so far.
I am playing the British Empire, whos reign spans the continents. The usual Road to War ensues from the 1936 Scenario.
Relatively few surprises leading up to 1941-1942. One interesting note however is my silly idea to get the victorious Republic of Spain (who won the SCW) into my alliance. This would have repercussions when war started as the Germans steamrollered them and took Gibralter.
But why the negative title to the AAR I hear you ask? Surely loosing Gibralter isn't THAT much of a big deal?
Well it was.
Most of my Army is on the Egypt-Libya border failing to push back the Italians. Racking up some nice experience, but no land.
I get a pop-up report.
"We have lost a battle in Norwich..."
And the Road to failure begins......
