Post war stuff
- The Soviet Union and Russia will fight it out without interferance (no repeat of the post WW1 business).
- Poland is pretty much in the same boat, ethnically, as it was before WW2. I don't have a feel for how cohesive the nation was then.
- Finland has surrendered. A surrender on terms (quite reasonable terms), but still a surrender. The treaty provides for non-interferance in Russia, including Karelia but does give Finland back her pre-war territory, largely due to their self-control during WW2.
- The colonial empires of Britain and France are doomed. The only question is timeline.
- Britain is a victor in this war. A half-shattered victor, but a victor none the less. Northern Ireland won't be changing hands.
Responses to various requests
- I will get around to writing up a small trade FAQ at some point.
- I hear a request for a recap/self-critique, but I'm not really sure where to begin. I do confess to being very shocked that I managed to get 588,000 of my boys killed. Honestly thought I was being more careful than that. *looks sheepish*
A request of my own
- If any of you have the ability to create Adobe PDF files I would be very grateful if this AAR could be turned into a document.

Thank you to you all, the many, many wonderful readers who have shared the story of the Smoking Cobras with me! It's been so inspiring and energizing to introduce HOI2 to new players, share the word about HSR and the Naval Beta, and get Brazil (and indeed Argentina) some long-awaited recognition.
It will be quite a while before I write another AAR, due largely to my new HOI2 modding project. Some of you have already discovered it at
http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=280943 . When I do start another AAR, I will certainly adopt the wise counsel of posting a link in this thread.
