I say we unleash a plague of zombies
 
I must admit an excellent read.
Is the author still around, or has this slipped into the vast abyss that is the body of unfinished works?

Would be most agreeable to see an update or just a note from the author as to when an update might be expected.

It's almost as bad as waiting for 1.3.

Once again congrats on a fine piece of work.
 
Just here to say that, even after a year since its last update, I miss this AAR, man. I miss the old days. I remember when Grey Men wrapped up. (Dang, El Savior's been gone for a year. :() Dangit, all this happened before such time-spanning giants as Mundus Exardesco and the Empire of Fu Manchu started! I know it's a long shot, and the game's been updated twice in the meantime, and that you could have been abducted by aliens, made pregnant, and carried that hypothetical abomination to full term in the time between the last update and now, but I want closure. And guess what? Though you may not even be aware of it, or know of it, but when I said that 'Delusions of Grandeur' would update when you did, I meant it.

Please come back.

To those of you who supported me in this, my first and only attempt at fanfiction, I must apologize most sincerely for my absence, and, despite my desperate efforts, for the premature death of this work. Please believe it was never my intention for this story to peter out, but life has a way of taking over from time to time, and even for an extended time. Also, what little time I was able to spend on leisure was redirected towards event modding at the direct expense of this AAR. I am truly sorry to have disappointed all of you.

Now for the good news...It's time to Re-Jumpstart the American Century! This time I will incorporate the style used in the final few posts (multiple perspectives from all ranks with textbook-style picture captions) from the very beginning, giving some extra attention to the prewar lives of the Bernard brothers, and the dark past of the mysterious, if sometimes frightening Sergeant Baumer.

One tiny bit of bad news, however...all of the screenshots I had are now gone. Therefore, while this work will be based on the game I played so long ago, I will have no screenshots to remind us all of the wonderful game behind the story. This really disappoints me, because I had some really good screenshots! Oh well, it cannot be helped.

Look for the first post to be up in a new thread by Friday, with at least 1 update weekly after that, if not more. Thank you to all of you who kept posting to this thread, even long after it had died. I hope this second attempt will make all the waiting worthwhile.

Sincerely,
Invertigo2004

P.S. Please feel free to shower as much abuse down on me as you wish, as I surely deserve it. ;)
 
How nice to have you back, Invert! I'm looking forward to the resumption of your tale. Any interest in restarting the game?

This is most wonderful news! I very much look forward to the restart.
 
I was about to scream "necromancy!" at an unwary poster, but instead I find this.

HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH!

Nah, no need to restart the game, I did ultimately finish it and had laid the story out to fit the game long ago. What I'm doing now is going back to flesh out the beginning, which was pretty thin there for awhile, and give some of those early characters that died a chance to do a little something first. In fact, you'll probably notice the beginning has changed completely... not the story per se, just in the way it's presented.

Oh, and look for some new characters quite early on. :D It's going to be a bit before we get to the part where I left off, so instead of just reposting all those old posts, I plan on splicing in some new characters, new scenes, etc. If all goes well, this AAR will be bigger, better, and much more COMPLETE than the first.

But for now...back to work for me!! :D
