First, a Pre-AAR Summary.
Ok, I started in 1936. It’s now 46, I forgot to write up stuff for the rest of the years, so I’ll fill you in and then start at 42.
The Goal: To create a world Hegemony. That involves conquering and then liberating every country under the control of the Soviet Union. This includes hidden countries.
Mods/Cheats/Difficulty: As with all my HOI games, I’m not modding or cheating. Except for one. No Time Limit mod, hence I’m not on a time limit, and not in a rush. That’s why this game will take quite a while. If I was indeed on a time limit, then I would be far quicker in attempting everything.
Why: Well…. Honestly? I was bored, and so decided to ask everyone for their suggestions. And this seemed to be the most popular, and so voila.
1936-39.
It was year of quick progress. Reorganization of the entire soviet army took place. As well as the movement of the entire body to Eastern Europe, at which point it was reassigned into groups of 12 and then transported back to Asia. Although High command claimed it had strategic reasons for this, it was largely whispered among the soldiers that high command secretly just liked shoving soldiers into box cars for shipment all over the world.
Especially since nothing happened until 1937.
1936 was a boring year. Many people felt watching paint dry was infact, the new source of entertainment in the USSR. Others, felt it was grass growing. A civil war had almost broken out when in stepped Stalin, and told them that there were Villains to the South whom were arguing that inventing cell phones was infact the quickest way to solve boredom. Naturally the Soviet Union couldn’t stand for this, and so in 1937 invade Japan. Korea was hence formed, and joined the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, Mongolia decided to expand, and hence Manchukuo could not be resurrected. Eventually peace was formed with the Jap’s and a small amount of land was gained. At the same time, Mountain troops were moving into Afghanistan, (the only ones the SU had), and took Kabul quicker than god could have, if god have ever been so inclined to take over a 3rd world nation. Naturally, the rest of Afghanistan was bordered and cut off, simply to allow the Soviet Union to force itself into a war economy.
38 and 39 were interesting years. Afghanistan was taken and puppetted as well as Finland and Norway.
WW2 started, Poland fell and I received my half of it. I was very happy. Infact, there was talk of invading Germany shortly after Vichy. Unfortunately, the Netherlands and Belgium AI proved too much, and overwhelmed the Germans. Partially this was the SU’s fault, as I had cut out Rare Materials. Then France Invaded. I was cursing. A message was telegrammed from Moscow to Paris, with three words. “Berlin’s Mine Fuggers!”
After a bit of help (IE: Free resources) the Germans stabilized the line. And slowly, the French were pushed back. Back towards the Rhine. Back towards France. There was much rejoicing that day in the Soviet Union.
The next day a bitter white snow fell along the soviet line as soviet troops marched towards Berlin, and to meet the French lines. Poland, Austria, Checkoslovakia Romania and Hungary were all liberated. The Baltic countries were of course annexed and some were freed. None regained their former glory. Persia was also taken, just as additional side protection.
The next few years were slow times. Forces were rebuilt, repaired and re-armed. Dissent needed slaying, and industry building. As you can see, my industry is….well…. huge. The first Soviet Tanks, ever, were built and rolled off the line. As well, a Navy was built (Some subs and a few transports) out of need to invade both Japan and the Balkans from Sea.
And so, before Stalin realized, 1942 was upon him, and decisions needed to be made. But not before consulting his….Honey Pot.
OOC: This is just Europe. Not much has happened yet. BTW, the game is at 1946, as I said, I forgot to post. Luckily, I have saves at 1942, 1944, and 1946. So that's when each will take place until my posts catch up to my game. Comments both negative and positive welcomed, as well as any questions/suggestions for my next one when I finish this. We'll see how it goes.
