Stock map. But it certainly seems like 5 months here. I wonder if the lack of a canal is hurting that or not. I also currently don't have word or a similar program installed on my computer so that's not as much of an option. It's four months/turns from Northern Europe to NE Asia regardless of Suez Canal (which seems odd, but that's how the sea zones are laid out). Possible to get there in three months using Panama Canal, but only beginning in 1914 and if low-tension with USA (unless the player has taken Panama...no AI nation will have done so, since the AI don't fight each other). There really ought to be a 1914 pop-up event announcing the canal opening, in my opinion (and probably same for all nations gaining oil access in 1920). You almost certainly have Notepad on your machine; that's what I use to draft longer posts.

Alright, no post for tonight, although I'll probably be awake for awhile and might get another couple of years into the game. And I do think I'll type out more of the writing beforehand this time on notepad so that I'm less likely to lose a bunch of progress.

It's possible for possessions, including Panama, to rebel, and once they go independent it's possible for some other power to take them over. Another power could conceivably gain control over Panama in that way.
Also, allied powers can take possessions at the end of a war. All wars involve the player, but the player isn't always (technically) alone in the war.

Ah, true about rebellion; forgot about that.
Interesting about allies taking possessions; makes sense, but I've not seen that in any of my campaigns. Didn't know that could happen.

Due to a computer issue I lost all of my notes. It's going to take some piecing together to get this right, and writing an AAR is surprisingly exhausting. I might just give up here and not try this; maybe sometime writing an AAR for an individual war or battle. But even then don't count on it.
