this one will be running a while
Nice. I'll be keeping up.
Glad you like it. The first 4 scenarios are finished and written up.
The game has a screenshot feature which makes AARs easy to do. I've taken as many as 140 pictures of a scenario and used 40.
Man, Airboy is on the board recently! O0
yep all 3 parts of first scenario are up today.
More coming over the next few weeks!
Looking forward to i! 8)
more this weekend!

Brant will soon have the final three scenarios of the AAR. Assuming he will run it, you will have an AAR of the entire campaign to read before making a purchase decision.

"Turn 35, out of supplies, send more Japs."
...wait, sorry, wrong Marine campaign. :))
next 2 parts of scenario 2 up Sunday / Monday

Scenario 3 starts today, runs thru Monday
Hm, I'm thinking yellow (and thicker) notation marks henceforth, to distinguish them visually better from the game's supply radii.

I "think" I got better using MS Paint as I wrote this up. I used a lot more yellow. Main points & titles were in large print. Smaller points were in smaller print.
This was the first AAR that I tried to use Paint, so hopefully by the end of this I had gotten up the learning curve a bit.
Nice work Airboy. I'm enjoying it a lot. O0
Airboy,
Great AAR.
I've been reading the forum and game reviews on the Order of Battle game series over the past year. I've read both positive and negative feedback opinions about the game.
In your humble opinion, would you recommend the game?

I like the game. I've played the Chinese-Japanese war and enjoyed it a lot. I think the US Marines scenario is also very good. I've not played either the core Japanese or USA games in Order of Battle yet.
New scenario runs this weekend!
Getting the North Mona marine landing completely wiped out scarred me for the rest of the Pacific campaign. My willingness to split my forces to speed up taking an island shrank considerably after that.
Scenario 5 kicked off this weekend
I think I finally figured out how to use Paint to show what is happening in the battles in the Tarawa scenario.
New this weekend!

Final Mission!

Very cool. Enjoyed it a lot. O0
Glad you enjoyed it. It inspired a lot of reading and some horror. Mona and Palau both creeped me out in the Japanese defense. The game captures the Marines starting on a shoestring and ending up with a steamroller.
:notworthy:
