Due to special circumstances regarding Thistletooth, I now have the honor of picking not one but two AAR to be featured in the the Weekly AAR Showcase. I herby nominate CatKnight’s wonderful Beyond Tannenberg II: The Knight's Tale. It is a masterful AAR with a little bit of everything: great history book writing, brilliant characterization and expert descriptions of political intrigue. It’s simply a wonder to behold. Read it!
An excellent choice! I've perused the work, CatKnight, but must read the whole thing. If it is as good as the first attempt, I am sure I will enjoy it. I guess I have a new work to add to the reading list. Shame on me that it is not already.
Congrats, sir!
Congrats, sir!
Good choice, I have been reading it and I enjoy it. I say this is a good choice, congrats Catknight.
Congrats CatKnight! Sadly I only read HOI2 AAR`s and won`t start reading EU AAR`s before EU3 is out .

Congratulations, well-deserved. You have created a nice mix of history book (with heavy emphasis on the politicking) and personal account (with the increasingly bitter knight). It gives a nice slant to the more usual formats of either full-blown history book or narrative.
Looking forward to more updates: I hope this one will run longer than the last one.

Ahh, fans. How glorious.
I am Konrad von Erlichshausen, and since Cat hasn't updated this AAR lately, I am still Grandmaster of the Teutonic Knights. You may leave your gifts on the table.
This story that Fulcrumvale has wisely chosen for this award is the story of how I led the Teutonic Knights to the cusp of a glorious new age. Everything that happened up to my ascension, such as a quick slap at Poland followed by the Hussite 'Crusade', were merely stepping stones. I, of course, was the crowning achievement. I now leave it to my nephew to finish our Order's rise to greatness so none shall ever forget my name.
Our names, of course.
This is not to imply that I could have done all of this on my own, of course. In AAR, I wish to thank Paul Bellizer von Russdorf, for being too simpleminded to secure the conclave for his chosen candidate, thus finally causing the compromise that led to my rise. I also wish to thank Michel von Bromberg, the Butcher of Prague, for dying. He was in the way.
Out of AAR, I wish to again thank Fulcrumvale. His Baden AAR is a brilliant example of what not to do in game, and helps funnel folk to read about my glory. I wish to thank my other readers for recognizing quality when they see it. I wish to thank Cat's job for injuring his left ring finger, which has delayed new posts and makes watching him type exceptionally amusing. Lastly, I wish to thank Paradox for coming up with a game that required Cat to make Bohemia Sunnite if he wanted to reflect a Hussite victory. The expression on Cat's face was priceless.
Now that I'm done basking in your adoration, I have an Order to run until Cat posts. Which hopefully will be a long time coming.
Deus vult!
