EU IV:
Italian Ambitions: A Florence AAR by @JerseyGiants88

CK 2:
Road of Queens - CKII India AAR by @Eurasia
Blut und Schlacht (Blood and Battle): A Learner’s Saga by @Bullfilter

HOI IV:
Bound by Honor: A Japanese AAR by @xSCAR45

OTHER:
Arsenal of Technology: A Hearts of Iron 3 AAR [USA] [HPP] by @nuclearslurpee (HOI3)
Crossfires, a French AAR for HoI2 Doomsday by @AtlanticFriend (HOI2)
American AAR : AI Experiments In HoI3 by @Eurasia (HOI3)
Der Adler, der Wolf, und die Sonne: Die Geschichte des Stahlpakts by @Wraith11B (HOI3)
I've elected in this category to go for AARs that are new (to me at least) and promising, honorable mentions:
The desert Ram by @Lautipus
Honorable mentions for not-so-new AARs:
Talking Turkey: Alternate History from 1936 by @Bullfilter
“Bitter Fruit” a TFH-AAR by @markkur

As usual, many great works have passed me by, especially for games outside of HOI3, from what I have read, these are my votes. I would write a description on why I picked each of my votes, but I'm leaving on vacation in a couple of hours, so I'm a bit short on time right now. I wish you all a great holiday (if you get one), and many more good AARs.
 
CK2

As usual, I wish I could have more votes in this category – for @alscon (The Forgotten Fifth), @Eurasia (Road of Queens) and @Jokerang (Per Angusta ad Augusta: a 1097 Aragon Jimena AAR).

V2
Other

And hoping a few other HOI3 that have gone into summer holidays or (hopefully) temporary pauses resurface soon: @Lautipus (The Desert Ram), @nuclearslurpee (Arsenal of Technology: A Hearts of Iron 3 AAR [USA] [HPP]) … and of course we know @ElPip will be back with Tiso & Tuka (in slower than real time naturally, which has been slowed even more by the arrival of a second Pipette).

Thanks again to @loup99 for running these.

Thanks to all who took the time to participate in this round. Having been on vacation without internet access until now I could not make a message concluding within the announced time, so with those circumstances in mind I will take into account the later votes as well, since it feels like the most fair thing to do, my absences should not penalise the ACAs.

That said, I will now move on to compiling the results, which you can expect to see soon.
 
Here's hoping that the results are coming soon! ;)

    Fantastic-many congrats to all the winners and many thanks to @loup99 for organising these
     
    Thank you @loup99 for all the hard work you put into these, thank you to everyone who nominated me and congratulations to everyone nominated! :)
     
    For a round that I felt somewhat lacked in voting numbers, this is a huge amount of work being honored! I, of course, am thankful and humbled by the numbers that voted for mine and truly happy to share the stage with @JabberJock14 and @Bullfilter - a better class, we could not find!

    Thanks for all that voted and indeed, a huge thanks to @loup99 for organizing and running these awAARds!
     
    Congratulations to all the winners!
     
    My congratulations to all the winners and thank you to the people who voted for my AAR, it once again reminds me I should start working on finishing it too.
     
    I wish I had been able to vote this time around - but given the current state of my personal affairs I choose simply to try and continue commentating.

    Hopefully I will be able to participate in the next round.

    Thank you to everyone who voted, and many congratulations to everyone nominated.
     
    Congrats to all the victors, and thanks to @loup99 for keeping track of everything.
     
    A mistake had managed to creep into the results, which @Wraith11B was very quick with pointing out yesterday afternoon. In the "Other" category, the ARR Der Adler, der Wolf, und die Sonne: Die Geschichte des Stahlpakts, by @Wraith11B himself was wrongly listed as joint 4th with 2 votes, when it in reality received 4 votes and thus ended up joint 2nd! I have double-checked all the other votes in this category, and believe everything else is correct. Thanks a lot @Wraith11B for being reactive and pointing this out! Naturally, if you catch any other mistakes in these ACA results, you are all welcome to point them out.
     
    Congrats to the winners! Honored as always to be recognized with @coz1 and @Bullfilter!

    Thanks to @loup99 for organizing!
     
    Congratulations to all winners and a hearty thank you to @loup99 for all his hard work!
