Reply to What are AARs? in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

Initially, AARs, or after action reports, were really just that; a report on a game that someone had played complete with pictures and/or maps. Eventually this grew into people building up fiction around their games. For most games this works out rather well, but beware, starting an aar and seeing through to its complete end is more work than you may think. Often a writer is torn on waht to include and what to leave out of the story. one doesn't want to make the story dull and boring and at t

mambaman: if you'll recall correctly, at the beggining of the AAR Nolan was desperately trying to escape an unknown power. What I wanted to do is take us moments before his flight to understand what it was exactly that had frightened him so. I took this moment to be the best because in the game the Korath did in fact declare war on the Altarians thus bringing them into the game and making it impossible for me to ignore them. The next post will go a bit deeper into the war currently be

TEN MONTHS AGO Uncharted Space TFS Quebec Captain Nolan commanding "What you're saying is that I have to come with you. This whole talk of esteemed guests is really just the political rabble you and I think it is." Nolan stood closer to the Emissary. he could hear the faint buzzing of his personal guards' body shields. He was amazed at the technology. Would they be able to stop bullets? Is that why he had only come with two guards, and the whole

Ten months ago Uncharted Space TFS Quebec Captain Nolan commanding The image of Primero Xavier Corrin's face filled the flatviewer on the bridge. It was him but it wasn't him at the same time. His face had changed. It was somewhat paler than any regular shade of facial colour might be, and the eyes were a deep, blueish gray. With those eyes he pierced Sebastien's gaze. He let a low laugh rumble through the commline. "The Guild... My boy i

Ten months ago Uncharted Space TFS Quebec Captain Nolan commanding The atmosphere on the bridge was lax. The state of decorum that existed on every Navy ship had somewhat ceased to exist. Sebastien had long ago allowed for minor "dress code violations" aboard his ship. He sat in his captain's chair his head tipped into his right hand half propping it up and his left hand drumming fingers on his armchair. His sensor officer had his earphones on an

lol I like the constructive criticism mambaman I think i sort of threw it together as best I could to get back into the story. I also wrote it before actually playing the game which I hadn't actually done since July. Now I got a good hour's play in so it was much easier to write this next one. I hope it meets your standards! cheers and sincere thanks it's the reader's responses that make an AAR wrote writing (that and the fun of writing it of course).

The aftermath of the debacle at the United Planets Assembly sent shock waves throughout the entire galaxy. The Socialist Republic of Drengia protested loudly and exclaimed that the People of the Republic should not expect stability from the traditional galactic power of the Terran Federation. N-6 had caused substantial damage by crash landing in the middle of the assembly dome. There had been loss of life and the leaders of the Republic had not taken kindly to it. Helios was a

Rest assured all questions will be answered before the end of the AAR. In terms of time, this story begins at least five years after "From the Ashes". That AAR lasted approximately eight years with the last two being the Drengin War and the fall of the first Drengin Empire headed by Torlek Kona. As of now it has been five years since "Ascension and Evolution" started, the Terrans are in a precarious position. [URL=http://img810.imageshack.us/i/quarterlyreport.png/][IMG

[quote who="Maiden666" reply="84" id="2645757"] On a side note. The title of Oberkommander comes for the German OKW (Ober Kommando der Wermacht" in WWII. I thought this was fitting for a man like Klaus Muckler. The correct german word for his rank would be "Oberkommandant", just FYI.
