The Great Race, Transvaal! (For real this time)
As you may or may not know, I once attempted a Transvaal AAR over a year ago, during the summer of 2006. It was ultimately an abortive endeavor, as I started up my senior year of college and electively chose to stop playing . Thus, the AAR sunk into oblivion, though it is available in the libraary
But now I’m graduated, single, and without a TV. So, I have a good deal of time on my hands during the weekday evenings, I’ve decided to take Victoria back up once again, this time with the Revolutions expansion pack installed. Transvaal has never lost its place in my heart, and I’d like very much to see a new Transvaal AAR through to its conclusion.
I’ve played a game through the expansion pack as Prussia/Germany, so I believe I have a handle on the basic mechanics of the expansion. I do not claim to be a great player, but I will be playing this on Very Hard / Normal. I choose to do so because I think the game can be altogether too easy on the Normal difficulty, and that it’s still quite playable at Very Hard, even as Transvaal. I think that I'm up for the challenge.
I should be posting again tomorrow with an ‘opening’ to the campaign: a short historical description of Transvaal, its situation at the beginning of the game, and my goals to achieve by the end of the game.
Until then, happy trails!
