    What is going on here?
    It is a slightly contrived Q-and-A session that serves as the introduction to a new AAR

    How Meta. No, I meant what are you doing here. The HOI section is over that-away.
    I know. This is an El Pip CK2 AAR.

    What madness is this?
    What better way to start this new year than with something different and arguably heretical?

    And do you have something new to do?
    I do hope so. You are not arguing the heretical?

    No, no. This is definitely heretical.
    Fair enough.

    So what is your plan?
    Take a throwaway one line joke about a CK2 prequel/sequel to a venerable HOI2 AAR and turn it into an actual story

    Is there actually enough material in that to sustain a story?

    We shall find out together.

    Do you actually know how to play CK2?
    Not as such. But how hard can it be? Plus I intend to utterly hide the game.

    No screenshots?
    No, I shall use something (hopefully) better. On which note, let us begin.
