Since I'm rather bored, I've decided to start a HoI AAR. In case you don't know what exactly it is, it runs sorta like this: I will post troop movements, sizes, etc etc, while you, my loyal generals decide on modes of attack, strategies, etc, and generally make all the decisions. There is a command of the army, navy, air force, etc, and sometimes generals commanding individual armies, if we have enough people. You don't even need HoI to be able to join in. I can give you a basic rundown of combat statistics, etc, so you understand what exactly is going on.
I'm open to play as any nation, be it Allies, Axis, or neutral.

Can I be Chief of Staff?

EDITED for your pleasure.

Ok, since you guys asked over AIM:
General Traits:
Panzer Leader
Trickster
Engineer
Defensive Doctrine
Offensive Doctrine
Logistics Wizard
Fortress Buster
Old Guard
Commando

Admiral Traits:
Superior Tactician
Blockade Runner
Sea Wolf
Spotter
(more forthcoming as soon as I check the game files)

Air General traits:
Carpet Bomber
Tank Buster

You can have a max of 3 traits. Your personas all start off as Generals/Admirals/Air Generals, and if you earn merit, I'll promote you to
FM/Grand Admiral/Air Marshal.
I'm working on the minister files, I'll post the avalible traits soon for them.

No, but you can be Armaments Minister. (Who needs bio weapons when you have nukes? )

Ok, I've got a list of 'playable' nations (i.e. those with the industrial capacity to do some damage, and the ability to wage war, and some of my personal preferences ), either belonging to the Axis/Allies, or neutral:

USA (Allies)
UK (Allies)
France (Allies)

Germany (Axis)
Italy (Axis)
Japan (Axis)

Soviet Union (Comintern)
Nationalist China (neutral)
Poland (Neutral/allied in 1939)
Romania (neutral)
Yugoslavia (neutral)
Turkey (neutral)

True, true, sign me up, then. I'll follow Yoshi... or something. And I'll personally authorize anything to do with firing airborne nuclear-tipped cruise missiles into anyone else.

I'm having some trouble getting the screen capture to work right now, but you can be assured I'll post a map as soon as I get the damned thing to work.

Is the HOI game running? If so, why don't all the people involved in that write an AAR?

Because its running as fast as our EU2 game.

Print screen
alt-tab
Paste in paint or something

That won't work?

Nope, it doesn't. I had some screens from earlier games, but for some reason it won't let me take shots anymore. I can take a screenie of the desktop, other games, etc, just not HoI. Grr.

If worst comes to worst, digicam the screen.

Try reinstalling?

Let's just say my copy didnt come off a CD....re-installing would be a massive (and 2 day) pain.
