Writer of the Week: Maximilian I

[unmerged(15561)]

This weeks nomination for writer of the week has written one of my favourite AARS on this forum.

His Italian AAR was another reason, I started my own, but his style brings his particular game to life. It manages this by having members of the forum partcipate as individual ministers in this cabinet, vying for every point of his economy to be spent on their particular responsibilty of the war effort.

A truly unique AAR in this library full of great stories, check it out at:
Nows the time to step forward and introduce yourself.
Forza Italia

And read the comments here:
Forza Italia - Comments


His other piece of graft is a Beta AAR of the German Blitzkreig campaign of Poland, which reads like a sick report in a similar vein to Math Guys Winter War Diaries. Check it out here:

Operational Warfare: Fall "Weiss"

Well done, sir!

Nows the time to step forward and introduce yourself and enjoy your moment in the spotlight!

Bravo, Max! I loved Forzia Italia!

 

[Maximilian I]

ok... here´s the short form of the story of my life... (blackmailed to do this on irc by valdemar)

born in beautifull bavaria in 1970, I´m now married and life a happy life as scientist... so far I achieved a MoS in Chemistry and a MoS in Engineering (the german Dipl-Ing (my titles) is a bit t higher rated iirc).... atm I´m finishing my DSc (2 months to go, yay!)... my greatest success was overpowering germany in HoI against overwhelming odds , my greatest failure was my try at strenghtening the Holy Roman Empire in EU2.... I blame Sapura and his sweden aar for getting me into this mess (paradox games that is), which at times really hurt my social and professional life... now I hope to have found a balance between my real life and my addictiveness to this companies games (even if quite a few betas might disagree on this ....)


edit: the screenies for the italy aar are still up: http://www.angelfire.com/realm2/strat0/italia.html


disclaimer: here are a few of the "house rules" I used:
- need a inf div for every 10 ICs conquered as garrison
- manually directed ai´s unit buildup
- didn´t use killer stacks
- limited air actions (e.g. rebasing didn´t cost org at that time)
...
lots more...

edit2: there are lots of typos in my aar
