Hearts of Iron III AAR - Israel; rise of the zionist superpower - Games

[b]Due to problems with the game I had to reinstall and the Israeli AAR has to end with chapter 3. This thread will now be used for any future AARs, the OP will be updated when ever their posted.[/b] Other AARs: Peru (The original chronicles of the pluckly little South American country that saved the world) Chapter 1: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16813117&postcount=1]Peru's global invasion-spree[/url] Chapter 2: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16814070&postcount=7]Peru persistently plunders Portugal[/url] Chapter 3: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16816563&postcount=12]Old enemies die and new friends are found[/url] Chapter 4: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16822509&postcount=24]"We're halping!"[/url] Chapter 5: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16825594&postcount=41]Peru's darkest hour pt.1[/url] Chapter 6: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16832860&postcount=52]Peru's darkest hour pt.2[/url] Chapter 7: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16841534&postcount=78]Peru, liberator of Europe![/url] Chapter 8: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16847252&postcount=97]Turning the tide of war, and the big red bear awakens[/url] Chapter 9: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16857586&postcount=113]Rise of the 12th Airborne Division and the war on Sweden[/url] Chapter 10:[url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16863655&postcount=144]How Peru saved the world[/url] Peru 2.0 Chapter 1:[url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16948800&postcount=96]"Because we can"[/url] Chapter 2:[url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16960823&postcount=106]"If we invade it, they will come"[/url] Chapter 3:[url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16970994&postcount=125]No rest for the West[/url] Chapter 4:[url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16978273&postcount=130]The world at war[/url] Chapter 5:[url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16985448&postcount=135]Soviet's wrath[/url] Chapter 6:[url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=17012808&postcount=157]Death from above[/url] Chapter 7:[url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=17031635&postcount=161]Sky soldiers over the land of the rising sun[/url] A new AAR as constant game crashes stopped mighty Peru's claim for the world! I asked which nation people would most like to see played next and Israel was chosen. [i]"But Crisis!"[/i] I hear you scream [i]"Wasn't Israel established in 1948?"[/i] Why, yes it was, but as is apparent in my last AAR I like fucking with history. So due to some reason or another the Britain Empire infact established it in 1935 now, along with giving independence to all the other Middle Eastern nations. Not only that but now the holocaust isn't going to happen, because Israel shall be joining the Axis. And leading the invasion in Europe. Less talking more fighting Arabs. Chapter 1: Superior firepower and oppression shall be the stability of thy times Chapter 2: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16896655&postcount=20]Israel's Oil Monopoly[/url] Chapter 3: [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showpost.php?p=16901461&postcount=38]To the edge of hell and back[/url] Here we are, back in the promised land at last. [img]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/4258/84076337.jpg[/img] We are surrounded on all sides by nations who would take no greater pleasure than killing us all. But we all have nothing, the British have given us our independence and left us to fend for ourselves in the desert. However some of our diplomats managed to smooth talk some of the British engineers leaving Israel to give us blueprints for various vehicles. Low and beyond, we know how to make ships! Construction of an aircraft carrier begins,[i]The INS Independence[/i], expected to be complete in anywhere from four to five years. [img]http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/4876/52394277.jpg[/img] Before we invade Western Europe alongside Germany and Italy we need to build up our resources and forces. We shall take control of the entire Arabian Peninsula, this also means we will be controlling the majority of the oil in the Middle East, and we'll only be selling it to those offering the most money. However, our first order of business is to clear the holy land of some illegal tenants. [img]http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/1723/14765664.jpg[/img] Israel's industries are still in far too much disarray to produce much, so we order troops and vehicles from aboard [img]http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/383/93871167.jpg[/img] The battle for Gaza is going well, the Palestinians with their sticks and stones are no much for our superior soldiers, however a number of months have passed and the battle still rages on. [img]http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/7213/64788902.jpg[/img] Eventually we beat them into submission and they retreat, Gaza is ours. And, the first part of the new Israeli Defence Force is complete as well. [img]http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/434/79131641.jpg[/img] We begin to align ourselves to the Axis, we are sure our mistreatment of the Muslim people will impress them greatly [img]http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/474/62733442.jpg[/img] The best defence is a good offence. So let's invade Yemen. [img]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/55/74489856.jpg[/img] The IDF lands in the undefended docks and marches onwards to the capital [img]http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/1923/90423252.jpg[/img] And of course they beat the Yemeni army without a problem [img]http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/1631/12978094.jpg[/img] Lets invade Oman [img]http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/4636/87841368.jpg[/img] They cannot match our military brilliance [img]http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/8391/89343122.jpg[/img] Within hours of our arrival the Omani surrender as well [img]http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3701/75654485.jpg[/img] Lebanon shall be our next target, our campaign across Arabia could not be going better! [img]http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/5707/88658258.jpg[/img] The Syrians seem to have something wrong with their heads, they think they can stop the will of God. [img]http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/1343/83307008.jpg[/img] Regardless of threats from Syria, we storm the beaches of Beirut and engage the Lebanese [img]http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/4981/18606953.jpg[/img] Syria declares war on us. They are fools, the IDF can fight Lebanon and Syria at same time! [img]http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3452/60569429.jpg[/img] Silly Syria, we would have considered treating your people fairly upon the eventual invasion of your country, but because you declared war on us, now we shall have to enslave you all. [img]http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3569/52733430.jpg[/img] With them out of the way the IDF capture the rest of Lebanon. [img]http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/464/74678672.jpg[/img] The IDF annhiliates their forces, while losing one of own. [img]http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/7614/61850064.jpg[/img] Lebanon fails and Israel expands. Soon we shall strike Saudi Arabia, but for now we return to Jerusalem.

How did you get Israel in the first place?

[QUOTE=sgman91;16888607]How did you get Israel in the first place?[/QUOTE] Started as Britain(As well as other European nations), made all it's occupied countries into puppet states, then saved the game and opened up the save file in notepad and deleted all the new nations from the puppet states section and moved them out of the Allies, so they were completely independent. Then reload the save and click on Israel rather than Britain.

Aw, alright... thanks. I'll be looking forward to the star of David hanging over the White House.

Though the anti-Israel jokes you used weren't funny, seems like a good AAR. Just a question, is the AI any good? I want to buy this game, but I fear it might be like Empire: Total War; good game with effort put into it, but non-existent AI. I've read several professional game review sites, and all I've heard are good things about the AI, but still, if I'm wrong, that's $39.99 wasted.

JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY! Can you guys just stop with the damn AAR's? It's really getting a bit out of hand. Better yet, make a HOI Subforum.

Wewt. Still not using that F12 key I see. [editline]09:27PM[/editline] [QUOTE=deepneau;16889532]JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY! Can you guys just stop with the damn AAR's?

The last picture, is that the world screenshot you found out after your last AAR? EDIT: Do you still have the save? Might come in handy when trying to play the middle east. Considering that there are mostly super powers like france and brittain present there it would be nice having a possible game without editing it yourself

I love you for making an Israel one :buddy: Israel shall defeat all the puny muslim weaklings!

Be careful with that statement, it could be seen as racism. Apparently.

Is the AI any good like I asked?

Why, they ARE weak if they get defeated. Survival of the strong it is

[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;16889784]Is the AI any good like I asked?[/QUOTE] Seems fine to me. They try and outflank you while blocking your advances.

[QUOTE=Crisis;16888668]Started as Britain(As well as other European nations), made all it's occupied countries into puppet states, then saved the game and opened up the save file in notepad and deleted all the new nations from the puppet states section and moved them out of the Allies, so they were completely independent.

I really have no clue where the puppet state section is or how to remove them from allies :frown:

nice work Crisis, another fantasmic aar

Let's see if it will be as orgasmic as the Yugoslavian and Peruvian AARs.

I like your AAR's, but when you took a screencap of how the entire Peruvian government had vanished, it showed you were playing on very easy. Kind of disappointing, you should try on a harder difficulty, I would like to know that you are earning your victories ;)

[QUOTE=Gmod_Fan77;16889784]Is the AI any good like I asked?[/QUOTE] Yes the AI is very good.

So where do you get this game.

Chapter two: Israel's Oil Monopoly The first brigade of our Russian tanks have arrived, they shall help greatly in the war against the Saudis. The new tanks are attached to the IDF and they set off from Tel Aviv for Saudi Arabia. [img]http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/781/97300379.jpg[/img] Saudi Arabia has two major docks, one on the north and one of the south coast. The northern one is nearer to Riyadh, the Saudi capital so the IDF docks in occupied Oman before moving on to the docks and landing [img]http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8004/44426727.jpg[/img] From there the IDF advance towards Riyadh. [img]http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8818/37185789.jpg[/img] We out number the Saudis two to one, so the battle for the city is easy. [img]http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5441/95925417.jpg[/img] However they attempt a counter-attack to recapture the city. Due to the help from our new armour they are unsuccessful though and Saudi Arabia falls. [img]http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/1665/67176595.jpg[/img] [img]http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/1691/38951538.jpg[/img] Insurgents have arisen in Syria, we'll have to put them down at once. [img]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/7616/65501979.jpg[/img] By going through Iraq [img]http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/4568/41910554.jpg[/img] Upon our arrival on the Iraqi shores, Turkey begins to mobilize it's armies. [img]http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/3849/46173254.jpg[/img] Our powerful forces make quick work of the Royal Iraqi Army [img]http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8634/24128111.jpg[/img] Our second brigade or Russian tanks have arrived and they are sent into Syria at once. Turns out we didn't need to invade Iraq. But we're here now, no point in turning back. [img]http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/6260/45442083.jpg[/img] Israeli troops and tanks march into Baghdad and claim the city without any loses [img]http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/4923/36498758.jpg[/img] However the war in Iraq isn't over yet, the remaning Iraqi forces move into Syria to try and aid the uprising there. Unfortunately for them our tanks have already dealt with the insurgents and are now free to help in the Iraq war. [img]http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/5309/39808775.jpg[/img] The IDF defeats the Iraqi army in the northern provinces and without their capital or military Iraq surrenders [img]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/4179/32960185.jpg[/img] The IDF moves back to Tel Aviv while leaving behind a small infantry detachment to keep Iraq secure. Back in Israel the IDF reboard the transport boats and head for Egypt [img]http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/4641/59796828.jpg[/img] We claim the docks and quickly move for the important provinces in the country. [img]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9251/96182321.jpg[/img] Egypt surrenders before we reach the capital and we win another nation, without a single shot being fired. Wise move Egypt, we shall consider making you a puppet state in the future.

Persia Turkey is too dry

[QUOTE=deepneau;16889532]JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY! Can you guys just stop with the damn AAR's? It's really getting a bit out of hand. [/QUOTE] I finished my other one (unconditionally, but still its over). So this is more a replacement of an old AAR than a new one. [QUOTE=hurts;16889630]Wewt. Still not using that F12 key I see.[/QUOTE] But I am, I colour all the (current) unimportant nations grey. [QUOTE=Fijgum;16889661] Do you still have the save?

Apparently.[/QUOTE] "Rise of the Zionist superpower" ? Zion just means Israel, and now that I have almost all the Middle East and it's oil it pretty much is a superpower. [QUOTE=hurts;16893640]Let's see if it will be as orgasmic as the Yugoslavian and Peruvian AARs.[/QUOTE] Here's hoping. Im hoping for another "legendary" unit like Peru's 12th Airborne Division. I've got a feeling the INS Independence will be involved in some way when it's constructed.

In my game my tanks can't even move

Claim Persia btw :>

Persia, followed by Afghanistan, followed by Turkey.

Get Persia while sending troops around to get Turkey from behind.

[QUOTE=venn177;16897237]Get Persia while sending troops around to get Turkey from behind.[/QUOTE] I agree with this fellow. You can attack Turkey from behind while conquering Peru, with your blitz tactic you will be back before noon to drink some tea in Tel Aviv. I'm a real fan of your tactics :D (Yet you still haven't fought against a large army, could be very interesting).

I think there's something shady about Israel joining Nazi germany in Axis. :raise:

It does make sense, some people say that the "The Final Solution (German: Die Endlösung)" was meant to relocate the Jewish people to there own country. Highly doubt full but could work in alternate history (As Hitler even doubted white supremacy ) . PS: Bit hard to explain in English for me >_>

God dammit. It's not even the end of 1936 yet and already Australia / Canada / America / All of Europe (minus Axis) / Most of Asia have joined the Allies. Where were they when Peru needed them?!
