The DumpstAAR Fire Republic - A TNO Komi AAR

[Sappho of Lesbos]

The Soviet remnant goes to war.

United, we will be strong.

Who shall it be – Zhdanov, Suslov, or Bukharina?

Serov and Taboritsky are unsurprised. Gumyilov is disappointed. The leftists are pleased, as a democratic Finland should be easier to deal with.

The pragmatists make their move.

The definition of insanity is trying the same thing twice and expecting a different result.

All the far-right politicians applaud this – and few can honestly defend the Unionist government.

It must be Zhdanov. He can unite all the factions, and he has the vision to lead the Soviet Union into the future.

Ah, Yuri Andropov.

Serov and Taboritsky are very displeased, as are the leftists. Gumyilov, however, simply said “Good for them!”

 

[Golden Dragon]

I see you are going with Zhdanov. Well... Glory for the ones who look forward!

 

[blitzthedragon]

Socialism CAN into space!

 

[diskoerekto]

It’s over. Finally.

Voznesensky's republic bore the brunt of the bombings, and as soon as they're deposed the bombings stop. Unlucky faction.

Shafarevich will choose a simpler life, it would seem.

Even though he's a fascist, for some reason he was a likeable one

Serov is still at large.

He's too crazy to be a worthy opponent

Taboritsky

Ah, this was a strange character as well

It must be Zhdanov. He can unite all the factions, and he has the vision to lead the Soviet Union into the future.

Let's see where this road goes to

 

[DensleyBlair]

Alas, poor Bukharina. We hardly knew ye.

 

[Golden Dragon]

Is this dead?

 

[Sappho of Lesbos]

Is this dead?

I assumed so, due to the Cold Southern Springs update. However, it turns out that it DOESN'T break save files. So this AAR is back online!

Fortunately, Zhukov has triumphed over Tukhachevsky. The groundwork can now be laid for an alliance.

Gumyilov, ever the historian, keeps reminding everyone that this is actually the Second English Civil War. Taboritsky shouts that nobody cares. For once, everybody agrees with Taboritsky.

Democracy’s flower could not thrive in Kazakhstan's deserts.

The Italians have decided to deal with Croatia.

We will be partners with the Front.

We shall forge a united front against fascism!

The Islamic Anti-Bandit Brigades move to put down the bandits of Kokshetau.

We will greatly benefit from working with the Front.

Italy has subjugated Croatia, surprising absolutely nobody.

Together, none shall stop us!

 

[Sappho of Lesbos]

Superstitious nonsense.

The WRRF has agreed to our proposal for joint exercises.

Time to teach Vologda a lesson…

The Aryan Brotherhood strikes out.

We have our alliance. Now we are safe from any surprise attack.

The time has come. We must end the anarchy that pervades Russia (and not just Kansk and Orenburg).

So much for the might of Allah.

Honestly, they never had a chance.

Vologda has paid us tribute rather than fight. Interesting…

The partisans led by Abba Kovner have defeated one of the Nazi factions in Ostland. Upon hearing this, even Serov could not deny that there was some poetic justice. Taboritsky could, but nobody cared.

 

[Sappho of Lesbos]

We will need every trick we can to grow enough food to feed our people.

The last of the eastern fascists is no more.

The PRC moves to subjugate the Old Believers.

Having recently demonstrated our strength towards Vologda without actually killing anyone, perhaps they would voluntarily accept annexation?

Some justice in America’s so-called democracy.

Bandits against the Soviets.

You really have to feel sorry for Oyrotia.

Monarcho-Bolshevism was a stupid ideology anyway.

The PRC are probably feeling rather cheated.

The people must be know our path forward!

 

[DensleyBlair]

Fortunately, Zhukov has triumphed over Tukhachevsky. The groundwork can now be laid for an alliance.

Always helpful to have the option of a diplomatic union

Gumyilov, ever the historian, keeps reminding everyone that this is actually the Second English Civil War.

Seeing the HMMLR lose never gets any easier…

The partisans led by Abba Kovner have defeated one of the Nazi factions in Ostland. Upon hearing this, even Serov could not deny that there was some poetic justice. Taboritsky could, but nobody cared.

Oh fuck yeah

 

[generalis Julius Caesar]

So this AAR is back online!

WONDERFUL!

 

[TheStrategicMonster]

As an avid TNO-er, I have a few things to say:
1. How did Kovner manage to win out in Ostland? I have never seen him do that!
2. Very good that Zhukov won out. Not only because you're saving men, but also because he's great.
3. Once you finish this AAR, I recommend you try out the 2 West Russian War submod. In a few days, they're gonna launch an update giving Shukshin( one of the Novosibirsk leaders) 10+ years' content. But alas, 20 years might be hard to fit in.
4. Glad this is back. There need to be more people making TNO AARS.
5. Don't you dare kill Vyatka, my beloved land. This world needs a good end.

 

[blitzthedragon]

I'm SUPER excited to see this is back on! I love your style and your sense of humor.

1. He didn't. He just defeated one of several factions.
2. There's still the final matter of unification...
3. I'm aware of it.
4. Glad to be back. I will make it a priority to get this done soon, as we don't know when Toolbox Theory is coming out. That update WILL break saves.
5. They stand in the way of the future. However, Vyatka would be an interesting choice for an AAR later. But for someone bordering the Aryan Brotherhood, I will need a better way of nixing swastikas.

 

[Sappho of Lesbos]

Well, it was never very likely that they would voluntarily submit. War it is, then.

The last light in Ostland is snuffed out.

It’s probably for the best, anyway.

Books are vital to an educated society.

Everybody is rooting for Vyatka. Well, except Taboritsky.

The Boers have lost their last war.

The notification got overridden by the South Africa one, but the defeat text reads: “There remains some justice in the Russian Anarchy”. Also: no more swastikas around here!

Their end is at hand.

The collaborators fall to the fanatics.

The puppet Tsar eyes a glittering diamond.

 

[Sappho of Lesbos]

Our allies make a move against the monks.

The North strikes out.

Not only has the Order fallen, but Marshal Zhukov has opted to ask us to administer it!

Their ill-gotten gains shall serve us well!

We march!

Four of Italy’s colonies have revolted!

It seems people don’t like living under a fascist dictatorship! Who knew?

One down.

And two.

Our troops have marched into the city of Vologda. Our victory is inevitable.

 

[Sappho of Lesbos]

And three.

The idealist against the prisoner. Inevitably, the leftists (and Serov) all favor Buryatia, while the right favors Chita.

The final battle for Central Siberia. Suslov, Bukharina, Serov, and Gumyilov all prefer the PRC, while Taboritsky is indifferent. The betting is running heavily towards Novosibirsk.

Montgomery takes command.

I’m not sure why the WRRF took it, though.

The collaborator who calls himself Tsar has ruled for too long.

Democracy returns to England? (This might actually be a bug)

The Soviet remnant in Kazakhstan is no more.

The uprisings have been put down.

We’ve never raided them before…

 

[Sappho of Lesbos]

The river crossing will be particularly difficult. However…

For some reason, the option to raid Yugra has disappeared. However, there has been one advantage to the WRRF seizure of Vologda: it has given them a small border to attack Vyatka. Currently, the entire Vyatkan army is at that border. We may be able to sweep in and secure the rest of it with very little fighting.

Gumyilov favors Aktobe, while everyone else prefers the Poles.

Once more, the workers will bring down a Tsar.

The best hope for Germany, as bad as it was, is no more.

Unfortunately, Vyatka has noticed our troops on their border, and decided to redeploy. This will not be quite so easy.

Two military dictatorships, one marginally less oppressive, face off. Whichever one you might prefer, the winner is a foregone conclusion.

Literally nobody thought Wales stood a chance, although Gumyilov and Serov did get into a discussion about the racial characteristics of the Germanic and Celtic peoples.

The time has come. The Tsar will fall.

Unfortunately, the SS has triumphed in Ostland. Taboritsky is rather pleased, although that might because of the pack of cigarettes he won from Serov.

 

[Sappho of Lesbos]

While the SS rampages through Ostland, we will rebuild in the lands we have taken.

Through a daring motorized assault, we have seized the enemy capital. It will be renamed Rykov, in honor of the revolutionary leader Alexei Rykov.

Unsurprising. Also, Heydrich was taken out of the German Civil War (another case of overlapping defeat messages).

The hardliners against those who have fallen away. Serov, Suslov, and Taboritsky favor Tyumen, while everyone else favors Sverdlosk.

Maintaining a strong industry will be critical, not only for the success of our campaigns, but the success of socialism itself.

The English prepare to throw off their last chains, save the ones that they themselves have forged.

Perm, former capital of the Aryan Brotherhood, has fallen. Victory is near.

(Also, I nearly missed a swastika. It has been replaced with an angry face.)

The People’s Revolutionary Council is no more.

Central Siberia has fallen to the forces of capitalism.

Victory is ours!

 

[Sappho of Lesbos]

Among the prizes is the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, further upgrading our military industry.

Unsurprisingly, the Poles have lost.

Martin Bormann has won the German Civil War.

Our wars have been costly. We must replenish our arms.

The last Nazi foothold on Britain is no more.

Workers of Siberia unite?

I love how all the SWF focuses are named after lines from the Internationale.

The final piece of Kazakhstan.

We will not make the same mistakes that the barons in Novosibirsk clearly have.

Germany declared war on Denmark and the Netherlands. The former is a bit of a surprise, as Denmark is ruled by Danish Nazis.

Neither Denmark nor the Netherlands lasted very long.
