Dreams of Empire: A Portugal AAR in Screenshots Discussion Thread

[unmerged(17581)]

Hello AARland. This is my first HOI2 AAR, and my fourth simultaneous one. However, unlike my others, there will be absolutely no text. Absolutely none. Just 1024x760 .PNG screenshots, one after another.

The AAR is of Portugal, Normal/Normal, version 1.1, Road to War(1936).

The AAR can be found here:
Dreams of Empire: A Portugal AAR in Screenshots

Viewers with slow connections beware, as you will be loading five full-size .PNGs per post. I suggest changing to 5 PPP if you are experiencing troubles.

This thread, by the way, was created so that the other AAR could be as 'pristine' and text-free as possible. So any viewer comments, and any writer comments will be posted here. So would a kind moderator move the viewer comments from the AAR to this thread, and add the words 'in Screenshots' to the end of the AAR's title?

I like how you stabbed the Nationalists in the back. How do your respective forces stack up on paper?

Keep up the good work! seems your neckdeep in trouble by the way

 

[Sir Humphrey]

Nice work!

Heres a thought, since your uploading them with image shack, why not use the thumbnail version so people with Dial Up can actually read it in time? Just a suggestion. Great stuff.

Good idea! When I have time, I'll implement it.

As you can see in my latest installment, the Nationalists begged for peace, even though they were about to take Burgos back. How kind of them. I do have a question for y'all, though. Do I need 40 IC to get 2 tech teams or 20 IC?

 

[Ezzezze]

I think you only need 20 IC for the two tech teams.

What now? The evil republican spanish are going to get it now?

 

[unmerged(17581)]

20 IC effective or actual? Because I reached effective 21 IC, and still only one tech team.

 

[Usually_Insane]

actual, base, the number to the rightest...

I know...

 

[unmerged(17581)]

Yeah, I figured it out now. My actual IC hit twenty, and now I'm researching with two teams.

 

[unmerged(17581)]

Three more installments. When I have time, I'll probably trim some of the less vital screenshots out. Also, I've opted against the thumbnail-click. That thread will be screenshots after another, that is if the moderators will fulfill my plea.

You released Angola

You released Angola

*is in the same state of shock*

Could you please explain why you released Angola? I see no advantage from this act.

 

[Usually_Insane]

uhm, I get a strange frog telling me to start using thumbnails...

perhaps rehost the pictures somewhere else?

I see no disadvantage from this act. Angola has no, NO resources. Not a single point of IC. Not a single bit of energy, steel, oil, or rare materials. I'm not even sure if it contributes manpower, and if it does, it would be 1 or 2 at most. Also, it lowers my belligerence.

Though in retrospect, I should've waited until my belligerence was even higher before releasing Angola. Still...
