Thanks Tulp,

You're making me blush :p

All in all it was fun to write it, hard but fun. I didn't expect it to be so hard, all the puzzling with cryptic notes on a piece of paper, the massive amount of screenshots (150+) and the writing of all the storylines and not making it sound boring. It was all well worth the effort in the end.

The war turned out different as I thought, in the games I played to test if it could turn out in something I was mostly fighting the Japanese, I expected this one to turn out the same. But the German AI managed to do so well in this game I never looked twice at the Japs. If the war had gone on for another year or so, the Japs and the Germans would have defeated the Russians and the French.

I would like to thank anybody who took the time reading it and especially the ones who posted on occasions.

Edit: Seidita, I won't be able to continue this game, I upgraded to 1.05 not long after and deleted my savegames as I couldn't play them and they were cluttering up the list of savegames ingame. Had I continued it wouldn't have lasted long anyway, the 12 divisions I had in the end were worn out.
 
Thanks Che..


completely offtopic : Is anybody by any chance using IrfanView for editing the screenshots ? I have this problem with cropping the selection, one of the cats stepped on the keyboard while I was doing some work. Everytime when I crop a selection now it blows up bigtime, I can manually decrease the size again but I would like it to do it standard again. Help ? :(
 
Great AAR! What an Ending! Oh yes, I use Irfanview but I don't know exactly how to crop. But I digress, what a thrilling AAR, I'm sure you could have kept going and eventually have defeated the Germans!
 
Hotdog, thanks for being a loyal supporter !

The only way I could have really won was by taking military control of both the British and Americans. The Germans were powerful yes but combined the British and Americans had more. It didn't feel natural though taking control of a country's forces as being such a small nation. I too control of 9 Norwegian divisions at one point as I decided it wasn't that big of an impact and they weren't doing anything with them anyway.

The Soviets would have fared a little better if they hadn't guarded their border with me with over 30 divisions I think.
 
Very nice AAR, I especially like the minister's meetings in the beginning. This is how we should have fought the war! Too bad about the defeat at Amsterdam, btw. I really like the AI in 1.05, it seems to give you a run for your money.
 
When I played as the Dutch, the AI tried to give me a run for my money, but I danced backward while throwing punches in its Nazi face! That's the best AI, the one that likes a good scrap.
