Sounds like the majority wants Rep. Spain. Geez, people want to kill me here xD
Either way, I just wanted to note I have my 18th b-day today and therefore I'll update a bit later.
But still, continue voting Or, if you feel the voting's result is inevitable, you can propose actions to be done during those 6 months.

Happy Birthday!

Meh. I made it. Was tough, but I'll try making the update in maximum 2-3 hours
Edit: My attempts were futile, as I noticed I got 37 pictures(which will probably shrink to around 20-35). Therefore, in order to preserve the quality(huh, whas dat?) of the AAR, I'll leave it till tommorow... Or maybe tommorow after tommorow, because I had a lot of work to do and had to do some editing with the pics.

If you play Republican Spain you should try to annex france, Gibraltar and man the maginot line before WW2 begins.

Part 2 - Republican Spain
Last time, I was made to a suicidal and made to play Ethiopia. It was so damn difficult that I decided to give the lands to an owner who would respect them more later in the war.(As many of you know, in the italian-english in Africa, Italians more than too often abandon Ethiopia). Besides, a couple of months on Full IC for UK wouldn't hurt her.
But now, it's different. I am about to play Republican Spain. It is hard to classify, because it's neither powerful nor weak. That makes it more challenging to play. However, just 6 months in to the game(4th if we count in the moment I go in), in July 18, this country and it's owner to test. That test, so to say, is the Spanish Civil War against the Nationalists. The republicans which is the other side of the conflict is made from various branches of leftists: from centro-leftists, to pure socialists, left-radicals and communists. The nationalists, on the other hand, compose mostly of rightists - fascists, national socialists, social conservatives, and others.
This part of the AAR will focus on developing and fighting with the first side - The Republican Spain.
First, let's start with the usual 4 tabs I think I'll be used to show each update.
That is starting position, research, diplomacy and production.
Not bad, but considering that the armies are slightly too dispersed around too much territory, something will have to be done on that.
I have to say my ministers aren't the best. And my interventionism slider is crying. Can't do nothing about it, unfortunately, as I have no real replacements.
Who in the right mind would build AA guns and ships when the real danger is on the land? Something must be done about this.
Good for us, at least the research looks fine.
My first move is to replace one of the ministers to have at least a bit more IC.
Fortunate for Britain, unfortunate for Italy, the war in Ethiopia has been finally brought to an end.
As promised, I made some steps to be friends with the Comintern/USSR.
But that is not enough for preparations.
Scene 3
News from the spies reached Manuel, that sooner or later, a great revolution will sweep across the country and many people, including a great deal of the army, will turn against the government. Therefore, a military parade was called to assemble in Valencia. All of the navy and the army was to come and celebrate the power of the Spanish army. In the meantime, Manuel took his guard on a little expedition over Spain.
Manuel : Oviedo, adiós!
*Later*
M: Bilbao, Agur!
*Later*
M: Churches, sacrus... habemus papam... uhhh... Who here speaks Latin?
Soldier: well, we may look like we're not busy here. We're kind of f***ing our new guns.
M: Just keep it down over there. Daddy is working!
*later*
M: Ahh... The Seville cathedral. I love cathedrals... blown up! Muahahahahahah!
S: uhh... sir...
M: WHAT.
S: Could you err... not blow up Seville cathedral, this time? Maybe?
M: Why on earth would anyone NOT want to blow up the Seville cathedral?
S: Well... I'll kinda get married there. I was to drive out there this weekend. Already invited the guests?
M: Hmmm....
S: I mean, I helped with the new guns, right?
M: Fine. Your master is pleased with your work. I will grant you this penance! In exchange, why don't you call the army? I need to make a speech to the crowds!
*later, in Valencia*
M: MY MINIONS! Tonight, is the culmination of all our troubles! The resolution, of my masterful plans! See, as the weak tremble under our feet as well they should! Tonight, we win! And leave nothing! Tonight, the world, will be ours!
*awkward silence*
M:...what? it was no good? I worked my a*s off on that speech! No? Ughhh.... Now. Are there any questions? Come on, let's see some hands. Who has questions to their glorious master?
S2: *raises hand*
M: Yes. You. Begin. Now.
S2: Paychecks on Friday?
M: Paychecks every Friday!
*crowd goes yayyyy*
S3: Uhh hi sir. ah. yes. sir. Um. How do we uhhh... how do we plan to er... not screw up this time, sir?
M: Hmmm. Yes! That's a very interesting question! Quite intriguing! YOU! Execute him! And you, execute him! That's how I plan to win! MUAHAHAH! Who else doesn't feel like winning? Anyone?... Anyone? Garcia?
Some soldier: What about... Balls?
*laughter*
M: What? Who said that, answer me!
SS2: Balls!
SS3: Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalls!
M: Who is saying Balls! Stop saying Balls!
SS4: mmmhmmm Balls!
M: That steams me up. Everyone listen. If you're not the one saying balls, point the one saying balls.
SS5: It was me!
SS6: No, me!
*couple of Me's!*
M: So, noone wants speaking priviliges anymore. Is that how we're doing it now? I take things away before you behave?
SS13: Penis Party!
M: Ok. I saw you do that. You know I have to blow up Valencia now, don't you? You have ruined it for the rest of us. Everyone thank your colleague for blowing up Valencia with you in it. *descends into the shadows*
SS2342: Uhhh I think your speech was good, sir!
M:*pops up again* Really? You really think it was
SS2342: BALLS!

And so, the Spanish Civil War commenced.
The first Ballers were defeated. However, the international Ballsintern company has assembled and sent their minions to win over Spain.
Steps must be made to take the so called pseudo-balls provinces which are taken by noone.
Meanwhile, while 1 cavalry devision quickly takes seville, fortunately for our armies, the ballers have all assembled in Burgos. I have mobilised all of my air units and made them to:
- Strategic Bombers - Bomb infrastructure
- Tactical Bombers - Half to ground attack, half to interdiction
More minions!
I tried to act quicker, however I was made to retreat in Valladolid.
Nationalists come, Nationalists go.
My plan was to attack advancing armies from Burgos from 3 sides :Valladolid, Siguenza and Saragossa. It was moderately succesful, as time was short and I couldn't wait for all of my western armies to come to Valladolid.
One of my last battles....
... won
Unfortunately, one of my actions backstabbed. I forgot to stop strategic bombing the infrastructure. Damn. I won't make it.
As for the happy facts, my militia arrived and stopped the tanks advancing to Bilbao.
I'm really short on time. And the SU is really not too friendly with me Sorry, I failed you
Good for us, almighty Manuel has sent some of the Ballers to Morocco and the Canarias. Let them have their Penis parties -.- it's futile.
Ending picture:
Summary: The war is almost finished. They cannot win againt my superior army. We can consider the war won. However, I failed winning the war ultimately. It will be left to the AI... or maybe not.
Now it's time for voting. Out of the more interesting options:
Republican Spain still hasn't joined the SU. Perhaps it's time to do something extraordinary and continue playing Spain?
Italy is still pissed off with it's gains from the war.
Or maybe some completely different country? Poland, maybe some of the balkan countries? or maybe one of the less played, South American countries? It is all your choice.
Just don't pick Nationalist Spain -.-
And for a sidenote: If you demand any actions, please make them realistic so they can be done in 6 months.
Vote! And thanks for all answers
