Well, I woke up this morning with that silly 'Tetris' song in my head https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWTFG3J1CP8&index=1&list=RDhWTFG3J1CP8 (thanks for that, Master Random...) so it must be the Spirit of the Revolution making clear that 'The Complete History Of The Soviet Union, Arranged To...

Thank you, andateip, for reading and commenting on this AAR. I have yet to beat the White AI (after five games!) but I have high hopes for this particular conflict. The enemies of the people will be crushed and the dictatorship of the proletariat will rise from the ashes of reactionary oppression an...

Nikel, thank you for reading and for your historical commentary. I suppose it was silly to use a Russian abbreviation for one committee (SOVNARKOM/SNK) and an English acronym for the other committee (RMC). But since I have already started and made the graphic templates using those titles I will peri...

I neglected to post these earlier. All commanders are activated, Standard Attrition, Historical Pool of Units and Historical Stats for generals. The AI is at 'Sergeant' level, 'Normal' aggression, and is given more time and a low detection bonus.

Thank you, Master Random, for sharing that interesting take on the history of the USSR. But if that is what the liberated Proletariat is doing with their time then perhaps labor camps aren't such a bad idea after all... And welcome, Nikel, to my feeble effort. I will try to keep things moving along ...

Introduction Well, with Mrs. Ripster8 being back East visiting relatives thus giving me plenty of free time for a few weeks, I can no longer in good conscience delay my task - to bring a new AAR to these august forums!

Ah, Master Random, my faithful friend and foil! "Better the blows of a friend than the kisses of an enemy," says the Good Book, and so I accept your blows thankfully. Perfection is not a destination but a trajectory and I seek only to stay oriented in that direction. And besides, as you have so fait...

Thanks to all who are continuing to read this AAR. I have read through it again and found numerous typos which I have corrected and for which I apologize. But I probably haven't found them all so I will keep at it!

Thank you, jokeon, for reading and for commenting. I recommend TYW as a unique game covering an interesting period in European history. The AI will give you a good game for a few years, and I believe Leibstandarte and his crew are working on a new patch to further improve game play. Thanks again!

LoyalSoldier, thanks for reading my AAR and for the kind comments. It was a pleasure to do, even after I had to start playing both sides!

I believe Cordoba is 'Sent to Flanders' along with the troops. I think he has a % chance of disappearing but it must be pretty high because he always seems to go after a few months in Frankfurt. And this is also a good reason to avoid buying replacements for Spanish troops at this point in the game ...
