That's where I have my RTW + MTW AAR.

Oh dangit. I thought I was the first to think of that. oh well

@frontline: like what kind of details?

Oh, like what faction you're planning to play as, the tone of the AAR, your goals, etc. Unless, of course, all of this is purely hypothetical.

I doubt anyone was ever the first to think of something.

It does make sense to keep the EB part in the EB AAR forum if you're not going to play the different games simultaneously (which I'm doing).

I actually plan on doing it, but as to what faction I have no idea. I still have to do some research. I plan on doing it like a history book that plays a realistic campaign (vh/vh) and playing the story in succsesion, starting from eb all the way to etw hopefully. I'll take any suggestions. It will be written from the faction leaders pov. It is going to be rped as a book that has been passed down form king to king that each one records what has been done during his reign. I'll occasionally give insights to the culture of the time, depending on the cicumstances of the game

Most forum members, including I, would caution you against a battle difficulty of Very Hard, as it completely skews the effectiveness and use of units. Some may even warn against a Very Hard campaign difficulty, which may leave no course outside of blitzing. 'Tis your choice, of course.

Oh, Alright. I sort of figured that that was the most historiclly accurate setting, but I didn't know. What would you say is the most realistic?

The EB team recommends Very Hard campaign, Moderate battle. Certainly I wouldn't go above Hard battle; Moderate is the best, as neither you nor the AI gain any artificial bonuses in unit stats.

However, in this thread, several members are arguing that Very Hard campaign leaves little room for role-playing/AARs, and so M/M is the way to go. Personally, I'm fine with VH/M. Depends on which faction you want to play as, I suppose.
