Thanks for all the compliments. Unfortunately I think this is AAR will be marked complete. I tried military control over the allies and after a couple of CTDs I made an organized assault. Everytime I get far I'm faced with the same problems. The Germans make a breakthrough and I'm not told about it and loose 40 divisions. I even put the game on slower speeds and am faced with a very frustrating lag when selecting new leaders for the US or any other country with a lot of leaders. So I'm putting this one down. I completed as Ireland more than I ever expected. 120 IC is amazing, the most before this was taking Portugal and Greece , big change.

Don't worry my next AAR will have a little bit of a twist.

gee, Mr.G, i thought we were going to have a green revolution. :D what happened to your pause button? :wacko:

that said, excellent AAR. and, i look forward to your next AAR. :cool:
 
Ireland?

Wow, I'm so honoured. Except you should have taken N.Ireland ;) hehehe

The most I've done as Ireland was take Haiti and the Dominican Rep. and Portugal. Then I utterly fail... somehow. I never built a carrier... thats really strange and funny to see that...

You took Japan... lol, oh God that made me laugh! The IDF is a pile of shite... seriously, you built more planes than we have in our army today! Our Naval force... today, I think its 6 little ships... hehehe a carrier...

Nice trigger, ending the Economic War. I wonder what would have happened if you voted in the Conservetives... but that would be impossible since the next elections of the time were at '39 (Yes... a 7 year term...).

Irish girls, nice looking!? God... thanks for the compliment, but I don't want to see what your girls look like if ours are good looking! lol. 25% of Irish girls are nice, and then a lot of those 25% are bitches... :( Hey, maybe thats just the girls in Dublin... I hope so *Moves to the country*.

Ireland joining the Brits? Hmm, might be possible. Although they offered us N.Ireland if we did, but De Valera told them to feck off... lol. He gave a famous speech... that I forget. If we accepted we would have had a lot of trouble on our hands, since we wouldn't be able to cope with it. Riots, terrorists... and the like. Then Britain threatened us with invasion... hehehe...


Brilliant AAR!
I laughed through it all! (No offense, its just funny to see Éire do so well!)


Ireland Neutral? - ME ARSE IT IS!! *Evil laugh*

*Invades Portugal*
 
Chorus :
A nation once again, a nation once again,
And Ireland, long a province, be a nation once again.
1. When boyhood's fire was in my blood, I read of ancient freemen,
For Greece and Rome, who bravely stood, three hundred men and three men,
And then I prayed I yet might see our fetters rent in twains,
And Ireland, long a province, be a nation once again.
Chorus
2. And from that time through wildest woe, that hope has shone a far light ;
Nor could love's brightest summer glow outshine that solemn starlight ;
It seemed to watch above my head in forum, field and fane ;
Its angel voice sang round my bed, "A nation once again".
Chorus
3. It whispered too that freedom's ark and service high and holy,
Would be profaned by feeling dark and passions vain and lowly ;
For freedom comes from God's right hand, and needs a godly train ;
And righteous men must make our land a nation once again.
Chorus
4. So as I grew from boy to man, I bent me to that bidding,
My spirit of each selfish plan and cruel passion ridding ;
For thus, I hoped some day to aid, oh, can such hope be vain ?
When my dear country shall be made a nation once again.
Chorus.

nice AAR ;)
 
Well Ireland is a great power now and it needs a navy, what's funnny about the carrier is that its a converted battleship with a flightdeck, except I don't have the techs to make a battleship.

Seeing this AAR back made me decide to properly finish the story with a proper defeat of nazi Germany, plus I need to distract people from my Soviet AAR that I haven't updated in weeks.
 
This AAR is out of retirement. I figured it was nowhere near the end. To catch up on things I find most of my divisions in the Asian theathre while a strong garrison of 9 divisions protect the rather useless Greece. On the other side of earth the US spread it influence into France, it's thundering armies move foward while the Germans make stiff resistance.

Invasion!

Of course I might be exageratimg a tad bit, the Americans make a strong invasion but aren't good at the whole liberating thing. But lets get back to me shall we. My conquest of Japan was textbook. I mean taking out the capitol makes everyone run out of supplies, brilliant!

Push up the --- WTF?

Guess I'm pushing up the mystical river of #NA, maybe thats the portal to middle earth but thats for the post war. My 6 divisions turn the tide of the Japanese invasion and my troops gain worldwide prestige, seeing how nothing is happening in any other front. My commando divisions are ready to bring alot of whoopin on the makeshift Japan capitol. Of course spirit alone can't win battles and I lost alot of good men, okay maybe not men more like percentiles.

Man, I got spanked so badly I can't sit down

After loosing and now waiting to reorganize I decide to do something about Korea and that NZ division toasting marshmallows or rice paddies what ever they do up there. First I decide the 7 divisions stuck on a island should go on my mantlepiece for biggest capture.

Come out with your hands up!

and

I guess this significant

More importantly my divisions show what I like to call "intelligence" and expand on the oppurtunities at hand. Now Manchuko is in trouble and so is the division in between. And just to note, Korea in not Irish its NZ.

Asia looking good

Of course that picture wouldn't of worked if it wasn't for this:

Crap wrong picture

Err... you didn't see that, I mean this:

Military Control

I figure I deserve promotion and I really couldn't afford loosing MP. After my thrid attempt at cracking the last victory point, I succed and now I get lots of electronics!

I can see it now: MicNintendo

Now it's the fun part of moving a quarter of a million men half way around the globe with about 8 transports. Destination: Greece!

Operation: ____________ (Fill in Operation Here)

Taking control of Norway and Eygpt for more men for this grand offensive. It's gonna take alot of work but I think I can do it. Well actually not me more like those cannon fodder Egyptians without and leaders. An before I end this rather crappy update I must say that the US was wiped out of France, Russia and Germany; you guessed it haven't moved and Italy has seen some major battle that greatly reduced the Allies divisions. But Nazi Germany beware, it's a known fact that us Irish are stubborn and that we will not relent. Hopefully the other curse of the Irish; laziness will not infer.

GOOD TO SEE SOME MORE! :cool:
 
Finally the last update of this AAR. I left of with Operation ______, the grand campaign to defeat Nazi Germany. After the slow gains I started to run on men me and the ANZACs. It was time to call upon m nieghbors to the East, the Brits.

British Americans

The plus side of taking control of the Brits was not only the ships it was the men, the Americans to be more specific, Expeditionary forces under British campaign were coming over from Italy to battle on. But what the hell lets just take control of the US too. It is time to push foward.

A Bridge of Ships

That is one thing about taking control of your allies, the reorganizing of the military. But once I'm done with that it should be easy sailing, I decided that my Irish divisions had enough fighting and give them some R&R in Beograd, eventually the AZACs would come too. The Allies move foward, slowly but surely, sending men over the Atlantic is a big job even with a 40 stack transport group.

Everybody likes Progress...maybe not Hitler now

When the American tanks arrived, it was all but over, I reached Berlin fairly quick. Then of course you know what happens now.....CTD!. Thankfully I learned to autosave and the losses were minimal.

Guiness Revolution!

I pushed further with my tanks and my gigantic pockets of infantry. It seems the Germans fell asleep along with the Russians. I also fell alseep when I didn't make any screenshots of the game after the one above. But don't worry, I hope I make it up with the one coming. What I basically did until then was land in France and slowly pocket the stacks. The end results are seen below. Caution, wide picture.

Before I end this AAR I would like to thank Wolfhound once again for showing me a great photoshop technique.
