I would also like to chime in with congratulations for Arryn on this wonderful AAR. The rp'ing ones are nice, but sometimes (especially for us new players) the pure strategy element is nice.

Thanks for the praise, Wyatt, and for your perseverance in reading the whole thing.
I strongly urge you to go forward with your own AAR. IMO, you can not have too many newbie AARs, and certainly never too many if they are well-written (informative and interesting).

With regards to my AAR, you do need to look at the screenshots to get a feel for the overall strategic situation. It's one thing for me to describe that I will attack province X containing Y numbers of enemies with Z number of my troops, and another to actually see what it looks like on the map with the relative army strengths. You can also see ALL the potential enemy threats, some of which I sometimes won't mention in the text because I know that they can be seen on the screenshots.

I will endeavor to try to go into even more detail as to why I do some of the things I do (and when I do them). One example that you may wonder about is why I've researched schools in the order I have. I'll make a special post about the choices I've made in this regard to fill you (and others) in on it.
