The German RISK AAR is a particularly famous After-Action Report of Hearts of Iron, set before and during World War II, written by Rustican.
Following the Nazi high command and its successful quest for global domination, it turns a terrifying premise into a nonstop laugh fest. The keys to its success were simple: Refuge in Audacity and Rule of Funny. This AAR became so famous that, nearly 16 years after its release, it has drawn many people into the Hearts of Iron series and Paradox Interactive as a whole.
