Part of the sillyness is the fact that there are still the idle runs of ships and infantry before the infra. Otherwise they'd be done with the first run. I'm using it as a set-up for the story more than anything, since Its going to finish right around a certain date that will make more sense when it comes.
I'll be honest, this isn't a serious AAR full of historical information. Its real gameplay with a ton of sillyness and not-making-sense-noobness. So, please take that with a grain of salt
I'm more writing a story and playing a silly game of USA rather than trying to be a serious AAR writer lol. Hopefully it showcases a different type of AAR o.o...
dunno why I'm trying to explain so hard, its just an AAR afterall XD

January 17th, 1937
The tabloids ran through all the news stations, even those in America. Apparently, an Anti-comintern pact had been signed by the three major fascist nations. This intrigued Roosevelt, though not for the obvious reasons. Instead, he saw that the people had actually noticed an event outside of the scope of the country. The problem was that it took something extremely large to grab their attention…
Roosevelt was still glad that the event occurred, simply because it took away focus from his Railroad nationalization. Indeed, he was all giddy with excitement, as the inevitable occurred on February 28th, 1937…
The very first piece of railroad
The city of Denver, Colorado had built its first line, to the north of the city. It was now focusing on expending it in both directions – East and West, in order to integrate with the planned railroad system. People gathered there to watch the unfolding and ribbon cutting event, which was quaint if not a happy event. The very first station would open for service later that year as the existing rail lines were connected to the eventual interstate track. Mj. General TDC would later comment: “It was a great event. I never thought I’d live the day to see my horse be able to push a railcart on the international railway… today was that day!”
May 23rd, 1937
Further developments in the railroad industry led to the discovery of the “Basic Armored Railway Transport System” or, in laymans terms, “Moving Big Stuff, Yo”. The discovery once again pushed forward the building of the railroad as newer techniques were applied to old plans. Luckily, it had seemed that the delays were actually a good thing – with the improvement in plans happening before the major construction, there would be no fears of having to reverse-rig the tracks themselves. The railroad could simply be upgraded to the new design as it was being built.
The BART continued to increase building efficiency
Indeed, on May 29th, the second section of the railway in Denver was constructed. This rail would allow most of the surrounding suburbs to have a rail connection that would soon encompass the country. Several smaller stations began to operate on this rail, showing increasing profits with the large changes in design allowed for the interstate rail. Roosevelt’s hope of people beginning to see the amazing importance of such a system was increasing.
However, as before, whenever The USA had something good happen to them, something balanced the karma on the other side for the rest of the world…
Further DERP occurs. Note Com. China’s Entrance into the war ((We’ll see if they can last x.x))
But this time it was a little different… Congress responded with the Pitman Act. Suddenly, people were a little bit more interested in the outside world. Roosevelt quickly capitalized on the occasion, declaring that if the Pitman Act were to succeed the Nation would need more factories. Amazingly… the people responded positively.
The Chinese need our help, and to help them we need more rail---supply industry!
It would only further cement the way in which Roosevelt felt about his plans for railroad expansion in the United States… and beyond.
