Great stuff!  Thanks for posting.  I liked the bit of tactical analysis at the end, which a lot of AARs overlook.  Agreed that "short and nasty" is where Combat Mission excels.

Also, I wasn't expecting to learn so much recent history from a Combat Mission AAR.   :hide:
A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.

If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

^ Hell yeah!  I just played that TOAW Grenada scenario recently so that'll be right up my alley.   O0

Nice AAR, JH!
Enjoyed reading that.

Especially liked the way you did the intro. It must have been quite a lot of work.

However, if pilots would need to do daily what they are capable of doing, nobody would dare to fly anymore."

Thanks, Ysk. Yes, I try to put a lot of effort into my AARs.
