Well since my first attempt at a Polish AAR was cripled by a virus, I have reformated and reinstalled HoI, and installed the new CORE 7.1 patch, and I msut say the events lead for more and more interesting routes, especially as Poland! So here it is, my second attempt at an AAR.

Difficulty : Hard
Enemy AI : Agressive

CORE 7.1

Polish AAR(with CORE this time and hopefully no virusus)


THe Belvedere Palace - May 1935 -


The old man lay in his bed coughing. With each blow his face withered with pain.

Suddenly the door opened:

"You called for me General?"

THe old man laughed at the dress of the man before him.

"Yes Beck, I did. I have some grave matters to talk to you about."

Beck knelt on one knee beside the bed.

The old man began.

"Our situation is fast deteriorating friend. And so am I.
I have nothing left to give this country anymore. My hands are writheled.
I cant even turn in bed. My insides are all eaten up, but my soul lives.
This is why I cannot bear to leave the world without leaving some instruction
to help guide the people."

Beck Replied:

"Jozef, what are you saying?"

Jozef(Pilsudski for those that haven't guessed yet) replied.

"The international situation is terrible. Poland is crammed
between two superpowers. We have to options: To be crushed
like a bug, or infect the predator with a lethal dose. To
live on our knees, or die on our feet. YOu must maintain
a good relationship with France, our well being depends on it.
Listen carefully Beck, no matter waht, do not sever ties with France
and Britain. It is essential-" The man was cut off by a coughing spasm.

A nurse ran in, but he motioned for her to step back. Catching his sense of
rythm in breathing he began again:

"We must not fail in the struggle of keeping Poland free. The west is
blind to what brews in the East... They're tuning a blind eye. We
must no fail..." he coughed again "You may leave..."


Beck got up a little frigtened by what he experienced, he said to himself
"We must not fail..."

He exited the room promptly.


May 12th 1935

A radio announcer in Warszawa

"It has jsut come to my attention, and the attention of the Nation, that
Marshall Jozef Pilsudski has passed away. He was a great figure in out Nation
and shall be sorrowly missed. He is to be moved to St. Johns Cathedral, and a great celebration is to be held. Lets all remember this great man. Lets all remember:
Polands First Marshall, Jozef Pilsudski."

January 3Rd 1936 - Warszawa

Marian entered the room. It was a cold January evening and it showed.
His nose was red and cheeks rosy. He wiped his nose with his sleeve. And
reached for a handercheif.

"Gentlemen, welcome to the first meeting of parliament of the new year. Meetings will ajourn every three months. Now then we had a little problem with civilian unrest, but over the months, it has quelled to acceptable levels. Now then, we shall set forth a new plan for governing the Nation. As you
know we are currently not necesarily "in power" , this will be coming to a vote on May 3rd. There are two other oposition parties. But donot worry, I am sure we will win. Afterall , democoracy must prevail. We are
surronded by millitary regimes. We are the beacon of hope in this dark time for Europe."

Jozef Beck, the Minister of inteligence, stood up in agreement
"Of course! No matter what we must prevail, it is a wish of Marszalek Pilusudski! Poland must, and will prevail in light of democracy!"

Marian happily replied
"Yes, we shall, so then friends, for today we are ajourned. In 3 months."

Marian left the room flanked by Beck, they would talk rather avidly over the next few months until time came for the May 3rd decision of how the country would be run.
 
March 3rd - 1936

08:00


The last of the ministers came and sat in the room. Marian looked up form his seet at them.

"Well then, whats on the schedule today?"

The Minister of Inteligence stood up:
"Yes sir, in the past months we've been communicating through to Britain and France, and they were, as I'm sure you will be too, to hear news that we have cracked the German enigma code."

Marian replied
"Very well, anything else?"

Smigly stood up.
"Yes sir, the KOP is reporting a decrease in border skirmishes with Lithuanian and Soveit millitants. It comes as welcome news to my office, hopefully soon we can start negotiating with Lithuania more openly."
(Note: For those uninformed, KOP was a special "Border Protection Unit" Formed after the Russo-Polish War in 1920-21, to protect border provinces from raiding parties from the Soviet Union and lithuania, it was extended in the late 30's to cover all of Polands broders and then moved completley West which left Polands backdoor open completley to the invading Red Army.)


Marians expression was unmoved, as if something was bothering him
"Yes hopefully, It will help us greatly."

THe Minister of Inteligence stood up.
"Also, we ahve sent a team of scientists over to France to help improve their inteligence" (Share research option! :D)
Jozef Beck stood up at hearing this:
"Good! If Europe escalates to war, they shall be our strongest Ally!"

The room was brought into a big uproar.

Marian calmed the ministers
"Gentlemen, lets get back on track, we have more important things then Mr. Becks speculations" he chuckled.

"Lets worry about the May elections so to speak. THe long term governing of Poland is more important and more at hand then anything else."

THe men noded in agreement.

Marian asked
"Anytihng else to report ?"

Smigly stood up
"Yes, I have called into training more conscripts. Allthough war is hopefully avoidable, we must be prepared. Reports form the KOP say that although skirmishes have died down, the Lithuanian army has ammased in Kaunaus. They could strike fullforce into Wilno in moments notice. All percautions must be takken."

Marian agreed
"Very well, intimidation is necesarry to survival, but try not to make it escalate into war."

"If thats all" He looked across the room.
"Then we're finished for today, good day gentlemen."
 
Marians Office 12:00 March 4th.

In walked a man, shorter then Marian, but not a small man.

"Good morning professor!" Said Marian

"Hello and good day" Replied the old man.

"Have you made your decision? Its of great importance to us."

Marian replied
"I have friend, don't worry, its a decision that will please you. Allthough you are a minority, you are equaly viewed in my eyes. So, My decision stands that the University can be created in Lwow."

The man happily ansewered

"Thank you! This means alot to Ukrainians. I am greatfull of your kindness, and as I promised, I'll gather support for your May election amongst the Ukrainian population."

Marian slyly smiled

"Thank you friend. Thank you."

The old man left the room, and entered after him a well dressed man. In a Police officers uniform.

Marian looked up

"Hello Mr. Von Kempf" (Totally made up name :p)

"Hello Mr. president, thank you for having me..."

Well thats it for today!
 
Poland the beacon of democracy? Bah
 
Oh I enjoy it, I just like giving people grief some times. :cool:
 
May 3rd 6:00 1936

"Janek! Janek what the hell is wrong with you? The train leaves in half and hour and the horses foot is lame! We'll never make it!"

"Queit for once! God Pawel all you do is whine and complain for Gods sake I jsut woke up"

"Janek do you want to go to this or not?"

"In all honesty I rather go to the -"

"Shut up and get in the wagon!"

"Fine! *to himself* God damn psycho, bah! Who cares whos running this country, my friends in Czechozlovakia say nothings gonna help us, Democracy or Dictators"

"Janek! GOD DAMNNIT! Move it!"

The two man loaded into their wagon and set off on their journey.


Out side the Kings Palace in Warszawa

Marian took to the stage and sat at his table.
"gentlemen, this will be a decideing moment in our countries future. We musn't fail friends."

THe other parties took their tables, and people filled into the square. THe various leaders took to the podium and made thier speeches. Then Marian was last.

"People of Poland, countrymen, brothers and sisters..."


Ciesyn - 10:00

"Come on kdis! The speeches are being made" said the man at the table.

"You too dad! C'mon already will ya?"

The old man turned to him form his place in the chair
"Ahh damned you and yer damn devil box, in my day couriers came to tell us waht happened, bah the devil with that I say!"

"Quiet dad, its on"

A man could be heard craclking over through the airwaves

"People of Poland! I promise if you choose us to run your nation we shall reform it in a way to make it great. Poland must shine as a free republic in this dark age of Europe, we are smashed, cramed between two devils who wish only to see us destroyed. I hope you consider our party to govern our great nation so as we may improve the industrial secotrs. Yes we need a strong millitary and many defences, but ONLY if this helps getting people in jobs. We need prosperity! Friends , Prosperity. Among other things we also..."

THe radio station started to cut out and the old man erupted in a mild sarcastic anger
"hah! See! That damn devil box! Hah, the electronic age eh? A horse and courier will never be bettered by a little talking box!"

a short little update. Its hard to catch upwith an AAR to your current games... lol.
 
Dec 1936 - Star Swipe! Flash screen, skip to future.

-Nothing interesting happened in the last two years. Except for an election campain. Technology build up and Army build up. My IC is high at this poin and so is my troops org. Very surprising to say the least. Also, Germeny ceded Elbing and Oppeln.-

August 28th 1939, 08:00.


A page walks into the office.

"Sir! An urrgent letter has arrived from the Reich."

"An urgent letter? Hand it here"

He took the letter and read it over... Cautiously as if he was trying to find the urgency, in a sarcastic way he said.

"Urgent? About as urgent as a threat of Lithuanian armed skirmishes. They have no claim to this land, we will not be cut off so easliy form the Baltic. Its our coast, to hell with them."

He looked to the page, Call an emergency meeting of the ministers, we're going to war!

March 28th, 12:00

"Men, I have called you here to show you what evil is brewing in Germany."

He tossed the letter to his right to Gen. Sikorsky, who replaced Smigly in the elections as minister of armed forces.

"Your first task General, defend our borders."

"Right sir, the troops will be ready and mobilized in a matter o fdays sir."

Sikorski got up and left the room. Grabbing his coat and hat on the way out.

"Alright men, we go to war, so make all preperations, get me on the radio..."

The hustle and bustle in the office continued for a few hours, a statement was made to the people announcing the state of war. A letter was sent hurridly back to the Furher:

"Dear sir, Adolf Hitler.
Poland will not stand by and let the Reich claim from her lands which are her blood right. We, avidly deny your request and opt for your ultimatum of war. Poland will surrender to no threat great or small, and shall stand and fight for freedom."

Meanwhile Sikroski called all his Generals ot a meeting.

"Men! We are at war! Let us move to Defence Plan Red. Rigly! YOu will take your twelve divisions through Kaunaus and Siluail and into the port city of Memel and the sourronding areas, a dispatch has been sent to the Lithuanian government asking for access, I left a line in their if they shoose to, deny the request consequneces could be dier."

"The rest of you! Man the forts in the border provinces and dig in. We wont let the Germans break through our wall. THe troops to the south are to imediatley move into Slovakia, and Hungary and hopefully over extend the Germans front. Also hopefully France can be of some use to us distracting the German Wermacht until we can start putting the pressure on them."

The men got up soluted and left. General Sikroski stared at the map of their section of Europe

"God I hope this works."
 
Is this going to be turned into a script?
