After my German AAR went to shit I've decided to clutter the Video Games section up a bit more with [B]another[/B] HoI3 AAR. Hooray!

Well, I didn't have Fraps on by accident, so the entire invasion of Norway (which was really uneventful anyway) isn't documented. However, here we go with the rest.
Here's the smörgåsbord that is Sweden. We just took Norway, and IKEA is well on its way to becoming the greatest Swedish furniture store in the world!

I don't know why that says they won't continue the "war" against us, all we're doing is expanding our corporate IKEA empire into Finland! And it worked!

It looks like the Russians are lining up for some fine Swedish furniture. Good thing we have things called borders!

The invasion, err, I mean, marketing project in Estonia has become! Their capital is welcoming our department store with open arms! Hooray IKEA!

Estonia, like many others very soon, has fallen happily into the cold, hard, Swedish delight! IKEA's Sales Teams are great at their jobs.

Another Baltic state is swept into the Swedish furniture sensation. All that's left is Lithuania!

Additional IKEA Distribution Units are on the way.

The Norwegians are starting to rebel from the lack of IKEA-brand furniture in their city. No matter, I have assigned an IKEA Distribution Unit to settle their hunger for Swedish goodness.

Like their cousins up north, Lithuania happily succumbs to the power of IKEA.

What a pathetic staff! Tell your friends, IKEA is now hiring! We need more laborers!

Enough dilly-dallying. Time to tackle a real target! We all know the Polish are jealous of Sweden's delightful furniture, so it will be tough to get them to love it as much as everyone else.

Uh oh! It looks like our megacorporation is running out of materials! We'll have to look for some more suppliers.

Thanks, America! Note to self: remember to keep the U.S. open as an option to export to in the future. They have a lot of money.

Our friends in the East told us that if we joined their group, they had something called "Communism" that would spread wonderful IKEA products to everyone, and at low prices! Hooray for customer satisfaction!

We decided to start out our Polish economic domination in Danzig. It's a major trading port, so all the foreigners who pass through will see great IKEA products throughout the city and buy from us!

Uh oh! The Poles are sending people to tear down our stores in Lithuania! How rude!
[img]http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/52/hoi3game200908231813454.jpg[/img]
Looks like our Communist friends are preparing to spread the word of IKEA in Poland! What great friends!

Good idea. The fleets will be redubbed the "Swedish Fishing Boats."
I love you, good thing I switched over to the UK cause I was working on a swedish AAR
That was awesome. Cant wait for more!!
Oh god I love Sweden.
If you take denmark I will come whoop your ass *shakes fist*

Our marketing representative here at IKEA has told us that people love eating goodies while shopping for furniture. We'll need Denmark to supply Danishes for our stores, just after 'Project: Poland' is done with.
Looks epic.
Communist Sweden takes over Scandinavia, Fennoscandia and the Baltic states?
I love this game. :v:
You should go for Portugal later, it's just within transport ship range.
Go Spain.
Get Peru
it made me rage when you annexed finland, :P, but this was funny

India is an English colony so you can't beat India alone.

We finally persuaded the residents of Danzig to spend huge amounts of money on our products.

Uh oh! Looks like the Polish government doesn't like to import! They're trying to kick us out of their port city.
[img]http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2606/hoi3game200908241408025.jpg[/img]
Our Communist friends seem to be having trouble on their own front. That's weird, because they have quite the workforce.

The Poles don't seem to be planning on stopping their campaign of anti-IKEA anytime soon. They've already gone through most of Lithuania.
[img]http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/5541/hoi3game200908241420386.jpg[/img]
That's too bad! The Danish decided not to join Russia and Sweden in our mission to get great Swedish products to everyone in Europe.
[img]http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/16/hoi3game200908241423588.jpg[/img]
It breaks my heart to see that those capitalist jerks have convinced everyone that IKEA and Communism are bad! Nobody will want to join us if it keeps going like this!
[img]http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/7198/hoi3game200908241442433.jpg[/img]
Finally! The Russians have convinced the Poles that Swedish imports aren't so bad after all!

Intel suggests that these red regions are full of rich people. I'm sending a few sales teams there now to get products to them ASAP.
[img]http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/4287/hoi3game200908241459055.jpg[/img]
Why are these Polish people so darn stubborn? Everybody loves IKEA, they need to love it too! Well, if this sales team can't convince them...
[img]http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3424/hoi3game200908241518358.jpg[/img]
...then maybe Russia's can!
[img]http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/7177/hoi3game200908241518487.jpg[/img]
Inevitably, the stubborn Polish eventually embrace IKEA furniture stores, and immediately begin a massive construction project across their whole country! On a side note, Sweden and Russia's new borders in Poland look very strange indeed....

So, where to next? Shall we convince the Denmark and the rest of the Axis that IKEA furniture would look great alongside their sauer kraut and spaghetti?
fuck up Yugoslavia and send it to killerTV
I was thinking of securing Romania, so maybe after them. Any other suggestions?
How did you custom name your divisions or whatever?
So it wasn't hitler after all...
[QUOTE=Alvaldi;16914920]How did you custom name your divisions or whatever?[/QUOTE]
Select a division and click the name box and it will let you change the name.
i'm still sticking with hoi II, because it will run on my laptop.
And nice taking over the world.
no IKEA stores where I live.
