Hi guys, the beta testers have finally been given permission to unleash some AAR's, and I happen to be the first to post. I know I haven't been posting here much in the past few months, and CTGW was the reason why. I've been testing my butt off.

Anyway, I hope my AAR is entertaining and informative. It's a work in progress and I'll update it as often as my schedule allows.

Thanks, nice read.  I'm looking forward to CTGW (and the rest of your AAR).

Slick Willie, this game has been at the top of my radar for a looong time, but even if I had never heard of it, your AAR would have snagged me. Great read!

Looking good.

How much is this going for, at release?

Nice AAR Slick. I am also having a blast with the CTGW beta, even though I have been soundly thrashed by the AI in both my games as the Central Powers. I hope you have better luck! :)

Absolutely outstanding breakdown of gameplay.  I feel like I know how to play this game already.  Can't wait to sink my teeth into this one. 

I didn't read entirely through the last few paragraphs so forgive me if I ask this and it has already been covered but:

Is there any kind of data tables in this game to view your losses throughout the war as well as estimated casualties caused?

Yes there is. It's very basic(too basic IMO) but there is one. I will put that on my list of features to demo soon.

Btw, I just put up another round of turns. So much to show you, so little time in my day!

Great report. Really shows the effort to make the game exceptional. The Central Powers player starts the game as Austria in July 1914. So does the Entente Powers player start the same time as Serbia or later as Russia?
