AARs for previous/or non Total War games are stored inside the 4. subforum, [http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=747 AAR Competitions]. As the name already says, the [[Monthly After Action Reports Competition]], or in short: MAARC, is held here.
 
Each months, writers can nominate their AARs if they were at least 2 times updated in the same month. After the 4 Week nomination period, usually a 10 days voting is held to find the 3 best AARs in this month.
 
 
 
Winning the MAARC gets you a score/leadership points:

The winner of the weekly contest is awarded '''1''' point for the AAR Competitions Medals Scoreboard.

==='''2. Community Games'''===
 
----
 
'''R'''ole '''P'''laying '''G'''ames, in short [[RPG]]s, are a complex and highly entertaining way to interact and "play" with other members on TWC.
 
 
 
People usually play [[Hotseat]] Campaigns. In general, all participants of one RPG choose one faction for the game and pick their characters (Family Members, Agents, etc) out of this faction. Then everyone acts out his role or character to turn a simple Total War campaign into a vivid theatre play or rather, a novel! Most RPGs have introduced a complex game system with political aspects and structures.
 
 
 
New Community Games are put together and proposed in the

===='''[http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1145 Kampf um Europa]'''====
 
[[File:Kue2.png|200px|left]]
 
Kampf um Europa (Battle for Europe) is a Community RPG/AAR Campaign that pits Prussia, commanded and led by a staff of TWC members, against the turbulent Europe of the 18th Century.
 
 
 
At its very core lies one basic rule: the campaign is what you make of it. No player is invincible, no player is all powerful. By working with or against your fellow Officers of the Reich, you have a direct say in the operation of the Empire.
 
 
 
In its current form, the General Staff forms the strategic level of the Reich. The War Branch, Doctrine Branch, and Internal Branch all work together under the direction of the Chief of Staff, to set policy, run economics and research, and develop and deploy the forces of the Landheer (Army), Kriegsmarine (Navy) and Deutsches Marine Korps (Marines).
 
 
 
Beneath them is a pool of Commissioned Officers, Admirals and Marines, who command the combat forces of the Reich in battle.
