RE: Hell on Wheels - BFTB - Axis

<r> Hi All,<br/>
<br/>
Well, I started in this evening, and am currently still in Day 1 at about 1400 hrs. Taking my time with this one, plus the AAR documentation obviously slows me down. My, how addictive this game is!<br/>

<br/>
As a newbie to this game, I have much to learn, and creating an AAR seems to be a great way to force myself to study the scenario and the basic strategies underlying it. As part of this ...

RE: AAR - Hell on Wheels

<t> Awesome AAR - and 2 for 1 [&o]<br/>
<br/>
After modeling my own first AAR after your equally excellent "We Fight and Die Here" AAR, I am aware of the huge amount of time and effort you put into these! I ask your pardon if my AAR seem a poor copy of yours - imitation is the sincerest form of ...

RE: First AAR - BFTB - Planning

<r> Thanks guys! Here is Day 5 - I just finished. Kind of feel like I was robbed a bit! I understand that during the game the "Win/Lose" meter may not be accurate, but didn't realize it might reflect differently than the result after the game ends [&:]<br/>

I did manage a draw after a slow ...

<t> Hi Daz,<br/>
<br/>
Appreciate the tip! Yes, I agree it would be nice to globally change rest to manual control. Well, at least I can coordinate things better going forward. <br/>

<t> This will be my first AAR as I prepare to play my second ever BFTB scenario - "We Will Fight and Die Here."<br/>

I'm hoping the process of creating this as I go will improve my planning and gameplay. I welcome any and all constructive criticism and positive feedback. I've also noted ...
