World at War : Blood and Bridges AAR

Brits had Blowpipe too. Their own design.

Made by General Dynamics IIRC. As far as I know, only the SAS were equipped with a very limited quantity of the missile during the Falklands War, and I think one was used to bring down a Pucara.

Sorry. Didn't mean to hijack your AAR, JD. WaW is a great system. Just played a BnB scenario last night.

And if you like WaW, then NaW is even gooder ;D

Heh. I was just in the basement trying to introduce some kind of organization to my boardgame shelves and ended up taking out my copy of WaW and looking it over. I have the pieces all punched but have only ever played on Vassal. One of these days I'll have to break it out to try with my regular gaming opponent.

Edit: Doh! I meant Nations at War. Gaming WW3 has never grabbed my interest for some reason.

Admins - there's 5 pages of not a lot here (because I dragged my feet - sorry)....can you lock this thread and I'll start a clean one when I've written it please

bayonetbrant · January 23, 2014, 03:04:28 PM

just ignore it and it'll fall down on the page. Start your new one whenever you're ready :)

JudgeDredd · January 23, 2014, 03:27:21 PM

Thanks - I didn't want to just create another one...look like some sort of mature spammer! ;)

bayonetbrant · January 23, 2014, 03:53:34 PM

seriously? we've got like 239045723904571023498 different threads with boobs floating around here. I think we can absorb a second W@W AAR folder ;D

Why don't you put the new AAR down in the Boardgame AAR forum.... where other ... you know... boardgame AAR's are located.... ;)

JudgeDredd · January 23, 2014, 05:26:47 PM

wow...didn't even know that was there (or forgot - they're both one and the same for me nowadays)

Thanks - and I will do :-)

Windigo · January 24, 2014, 03:45:04 PM

we will follow..... 8)

Rules are doing my nut in!

After reading the Battle of Britain rules, I find these a mess.

Here's my new confusion...

The manual states in section 3.0 Outline of Play like this
3.1 Operations Phase (pulling a chit from the cup to activate a formation
3.2 Marker Removal Phase

Question - why the hell is the marker removal phase within/after the operations phase? The way that's laid out is suggests you remove all markers from the board each time you activate a unit - which just can't be right!

The manual really needs an outline of play - and in the proper fashion, not piecemeal - and a tutorial scenario

Mark Walker is pretty awful at making manuals. There are times when a buddy buddy approach is good, but not when precision is needed. It's a good thing that he makes good games!
