Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein - an iPad Battle of the Bulge AAR

[Barthheart]

Success... of sorts.... would have been better to destroy the US unit then my amrour could have advanced... oh well, Bastogne is worth 2 VP's/turn!

Got the game last night.  Haven't fired it up yet but here is my Gamecenter ID so we can hook up for some action.  Strangely enough, it's W8taminute.  Friend me!  :)

Friend request received and accepted.  I played through the tutorial and then spent 45 minutes reading up on the history background provided with the game.  These guys did a lot of research and there is even a section in there that discusses the question, "Was it worth it?".   Great stuff.  I'll probably play the first scenario next and get a feel for the game.  Seems pretty straightforward, but like chess, you must think several moves ahead.  After that let's give this puppy a whirl in multiplayer!

EDIT:  If this game comes in a physical board version I think I would buy it.

Ok I won in the long campaign playing both sides on the first try.  Interesting game. 
Problem with the allied AI is that it neglected defending important cities making me capture them early and score a lot points.

But both games were very tense and I had the feeling of losing if the battle raged on.  Maybe the scoring system needs tweaking for experienced wargamers

Sorry the AAR's done fer now. Game was updated and I restarted.

After som more plays I hope to get a PvP game AAR'd.

We should probably do a joint AAR.  I'm really enjoying how much this game shines when playing a human opponent.

GG last night btw.

Yer on!

Yeah that was fun.... and partly becuase we could complete it in an evening.

^That's the beauty of this game, completing it in an evening.  Shall we try the full Bulge scenario next?

[Barthheart]

^Sure, you want the Gerries or the Yanks?

[W8taminute]

Cool, working from home today too so I should be able to fit in a few turns during the day.  Just don't tell my boss!
