----------Laurence and Vincent said:To all new readers: Welcome to the Channel Pact. We are currently in the process of revamping our front page to make it a bit more informative for newcomers.
What is the Channel Pact?
The Channel Pact is a co-op narrative/gameplay hybrid AAR set in an alternative timeline where the German Empire and the British Empire attempt to establish a new world order. The AAR is based on several important principles, namely:
World War II... only better
Artificially beefed enemies, fronts spanning over 10.000 miles, armies counting wel into a thousand divisions, massive fleet and land warfare: Everything is possible in the Channel Pact. We do not care about 'historical realism' or 'gamey', we just want to deliver you a spectacular AAR filled to the brim with countless intrigues, epic battles and over-the-top offensives
Unlimited nuclear warfare
All sides will actively research, and use, full-scale nuclear warfare. Care for a game of chess?
Know what's going on
With strong graphical support, we attempt to give you a complete and very accurate insight into our World War II, without letting story elements sever the tie between the Action and the After Action Report
Two is better than one
The Channel Pact is played with two and written with two. Not one, but two humans will decide the outcome of the Second World War, and take on the ungodly AI hordes with all their fiendish cunning
Be part of the Channel Pact
Through our Reader's Group and Collaborate! projects, we attempt to draw the community into the AAR You don't just read The Channel Pact. You are a part of The Channel Pact
Update hard, update often
The Channel Pact is one of the fastest updating AARs in AARland. This is because we work with a large buffer to post from, making sure we never have to push ourselves to deliver our readers their daily dose, and that we can update with regular intervals. Combined with extras like requested alternative scenes and Channel Pact Weeks, our readers allways have something to do.
Interested? Then start with the index below, and enjoy your read!

If you want to skip straight to the war, begin with chapter "The Beginning of War". You will miss out on some crucial events though, like the Valetta Summit, which are vital to the later story.
