Very good AAR! I enjoy this AAR! Who is your first focus? (Enemy, I mean) Is it USSR, or France or Italy?

Your stylistic approach makes it seem like we're right in the room for all the goings on.

Patience... We betazoids still have to test ;) End testing/crashing the game remains our most important activity. More important than AAR's

Great AAR!

Love the style, and am anxious to get to some action.

Know you may not be able to complete it, due to game upgrades, but hope you at get into the war.

Regardless, keep up the good testing work!

King,

It is good to see an AAR on HoI. Just a little bit of advice however, my friend...Your dialouge is fairly difficult to read. Hearing these kind of comments coming from the likes of Hitler, Canaris, Beck, etc, is so surreal as to ruin the experience of trying to discern the game mechanics.

Ok let's give a rundown here of whats happening. I have no idea if I will be able to finish the AAR but I do plan to do some playing today (testing work allowing) and have an update for Monday.

I have no plans for when war breaks only really up to 1939. So it will be a surprise.

The names I choose were charactors in the game, but the thoughts are entirely my own. For example the Donitz, Raeder dialogues are more to do with my problems with the navy than anything else. I want a surface fleet because if I don't have one I'll need one, at the same time I know submarines are my best offenisve weapon. However submarine development and surface fleet producetion are both really expensive, I have the choice of one or other. Ok I don't but the other choices I have made narrow it down to one or the other. So please please please please, remember the charactors are me, not the people they are. Anything they say or do should not be interpreted in any historical context, but purly from the context of the game.

Hmm, I know it's nit picking but seems though I can't play the game I don't see what else i can do with this free time I have.

Achtung Panzer was first released in 1937 which makes this scene even more ahistorical than you intended. Oh, and Rommell was an ardent Nazi and was not liked by Manstein or Guderian. That conference would never have taken place.

Sorry but that's the price you pay for not giving me HoI to play!:rolleyes:

Keep up the good work King!:D

I have heard that Rommel was a relucant Nazi or is that later in his life?
