Well, this is an AAR of my first 'proper' game in Viccy. We'll have to see how this goes, because i'm still not sure of how the game completely works. I'm guessing this will be more of a comedy AAR than anything. Comedy in the sense that i'm very likely to screw up, lol.
Anyway, as i'm still not certain about Viccy, the settings are easy and coward. Mock me if you will, but i'm not gonna go for anything harder. Its the grand campaign on version 1.03 (or whatever the latest patch is)
So, why go for the Netherlands? I know its not the easiest country to play. Although she has a slightly larger empire than other countries (indonesia being the main colony, and the Dutch East Indies) from her old days of colonising, she's stuck between the future state of Germany, and France. Neither current Prussia, France, nor the UK particularly like me. However, Spain do (possibly from the old Spanish Netherland days) although I doubt i'm likely to find a strong ally in Spain who, like me, have gone past their major colonising and imperialistic days.
As well as this, the Netherlands starts at war with Belgium over its independence (I believe) and I think I can take a large chunk of Belgium and use its early industrial power adding it to my own. Oh, as well as this, something a bit more sentimental, my surname is Holland, and as that means 'Dutch Settler' I thought it would be appropriate to settle as much as I possibly can with the Netherlands
Anyway, enough of that. I'll start the AAR as soon as I get my webspace working so I can upload some pics.
