A Limburgian AAR! What? What you say? :wacko:
Indeed! This will be the greatest Limburgian AAR on these forums to this date (if there even exists any in the first place :rofl: ). A story of great nations falling and new ones rising. Especially Limburgia.
Perhaps I should explain myself a little... well, I got tired of playing the major nations over and over again and the minors offer only little entertainment value to me so I had to come up with something new. Then it hit me - let's make it a fun game and an AAR at the same time! Make it an entirely different game for a change. Let's call it an interactive AAR: people here can affect the battle plans, join the politics, become ministers, generals, hell even a coup could happen
Whatever we can come up with can happen. Well, in some limits at least...Now, let me introduce you to our newborn nation of Limburgia.
Limburgia! - a map of the territory -
The always fought over province located in southern Netherlands. The first King, William I, gave the region the name of Limburg. After Belgium gained its independence in 1830, Limburg was split and divided between the two countries in 1839. For centuries, Limburg's strategic location made it a much-coveted region among Europe's major powers. Romans, Spaniards, Prussians, Austrians and French have all ruled Limburg although Limburgians were always defiant.
Now, however, the Limburgians have had enough! Seeing how Germany flexes its muscles right nextdoor and realizing that they were stuck with a bunch of p*ssies who lacked the guts to fight, they decided they were better off alone and declared independence. Quoting the new ruler of Limburgia, General Klijnkkelkloonk (don't ask me where that name came from
) "Screw it! We're off!"

The Limburgian agenda was quite simple indeed. Get independence, claim the rest of Europe as Limburgian provinces (hey, everyone always wanted Limburgia, now we want them!) and rise as a nation that won't take it up its arse any longer
So here we are today.
So far I've got a brand new nation with flags. Limburgia inherits its techs from the Netherlands naturally and I don't intend to change that - EXCEPT maybe the doctrines. Since Limburgians are defiant, combat experienced folk and led by the tactical and strategic genious, General Klinknjnk... whatever, they should be sporting Blitzkrieg doctrines. That is, if it's possible to do with events. Will have to see. I didn't want to create an übernation so I've only given 11 IC in the start, one infantry division and limited free resources. The plan is to give Limburgia cores from Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Austria and maybe Italy by claiming them. The conquest is up to us, of course.
So how to proceed from here? Gentlemen, I call You to do your duty! The Limburgian Army desperately needs generals and the newly formed cabinet is currently ran as a dictatorship by General Klinjkl...klonjk.. you know who anyway, and he's the only member so far. So if YOU are fit to be a general, don't hold yourself back! Post an image I can use, a photoshopped one or maybe a photo that I can turn into a photoshopped image. Anything goes. Your experience and rank will of course be determined by your post count in these forums
Same goes for the ministers. If you want to become a minister in the cabinet, let me know the name and the minister you want to be, and of course what kind of ideology you represent (industrial genious, a corrupt kleptocrat, etc..). Pictures would also be nice.
EDIT: Oh, I forgot! Tech teams will be needed as well.
Once I get enough ministers and generals I will begin revealing my Grand Battleplan and discuss it with my new generals!
Then we can really start...
