Interactive HoI 2 AAR!

[ArneHD]

Country: Brazil
Scenario: 1936
Tech Team Takeover: Yes
Full IC takeover: No
Difficulty: Normal/Normal
Goal: First: To unify South America under Brazil, Second: Steamroll everything else!

Ok, so this is my first attempt at doing a AAR, but that won't stop me! Now, to make this more interesting, I will make it interactive! Sort of. Your avatars can be interactive anyway.

What I will do is that I will mod you into the game, if you can provide me with a picture that is 96 by 96 pixels. Then just provide me with what kind of ingame representation you want: Military Leader, Minister or tech team, or any combination thereof. (Note that the picture has to be bmp).

We will also do this democratically, we will decide on a nation to play, and I'll mod the files, etc.

Note that I'll be playing HoI 2 Armageddon, so we have some extra options: Tech team takeover on annexation and full IC from non-national provinces.

My recomendation:
Country: Brazil (excellent expansion opportunities, assuming we can avoid being crushed by the Americans)
Settings: Normal/Normal, 1936, Tech team takeover (but not full IC (messes the game up too much)).

So, what do you think? Anyone interested?

Current roster:
SuperBeaverInc: Head panzer leader, Chief of Army and Minister of Security

Rhinemetall: Head panzer tech team and armaments minister

PrinceScamp: Head air marshal, chief of the Air force and Foreign Minister

Nodikus: Head Naval man, chief of the Navy and Head of Military Intelligence.

ArneHD: Head Commando leader, Head of State/Government and Chief of Staff.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

I'm interested.

Subi, the military leader

 

[ArneHD]

Right, your in. Any thoughts on skill and specialties?

 

[Hitti-Litti]

Can you assign pics to other nation leaders? I'd be so happy if that'd be possible!

Sure, want to be Finnish Head of State?

Ok Subi, you're a Brazilian Lt. General with Panzer leader and Offensive Doctrine.

PS: You could sign up as a doctrine tech team.

No, I was just thinking something like Perfection as the leader of USA, Raisin Bran in Canada, Swedishguy in Sweden etc.

Sure, I'll be a doctrine tech team too. I'll figure out the traits when I get back to my home computer.

I think we should save that for a CFC HoI game. Perhaps one when I am done with this one.

I'd like to get in even though I don't own HoI2. I'll be happy with any job involving tanks.

Can give you a job as a general of some sort with panzer leader, OR you could be a tank tech team OR you could be a pro-panzer minister, which will it be?

Oh, and what ideology should we get?

I'm thinking a free market oriented paternal autocrat. How about you?

 

[Rheinmetall]

I'll take the tank tech team. Will whip up an avatar shortly.

I will order my copy of HoI2 soon.

Go for the anthology box, you get HoI 1, HoI 2, HoI 2 DD, HoI 2 Armageddon. And a medal!

With 4 skill points I don't think I will be using this one much
Muniz;T4400;4;1930;1970;aeronautics;technical_efficiency;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;x

More decent than the last one, but still not good
4401;CCNA;T4401;5;1930;1970;aeronautics;technical_efficiency;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;x

As good as CCNA when researching tac, or CAS, worse on everything else
4402;CCNC;T4402;5;1930;1970;aeronautics;chemistry;electronics;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;x

I might use this one for a few Industrial techs

Not really that usefull
4404;Departamento Nacional da Produção Mineral;T4404;4;1930;1970;industrial_engineering;management;mechanics;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;x

Decent, but not good naval tech team, probably my main in this area

I can use this, I suppose

Main for machine tools techs

Comes in too late to be very useful

This one is great for spearhead

Worse than the one above

Can someone say "Infantry"? Well, not for the first half of the game.

What we really need is infantry, tank and, well lets be honest, just about everything, but infantry and tank are the most important (we are likely to be using a lot of infantry given that this is south America we are talking about).

[ArneHD]

Great, you're in. Hope you like Brazil.

I have decided on a tech team! Skill: 5 General Equipment, artillery, mechanics and training, for some BADLY needed early infantry techs. Fir myself that is. You can have Artillery, mechanics and technical efficiency at skill 5.

Could you resize that, as my Photoshop is uninstalled, and my bro hasn't installed the new one yet? And make it the Finnish head of state, please.

I also have ideas for other nation leader photos...

Charmer of course, can't you see the charm in his photo?
