After put an eye on the revolutionary Feinder vs Bilbow AAR that under my own point of view is a very hard and nice work, I think that I need to change my owns AARs trying to mix between graphic AAR and Roger Neilson II spreadsheet (its let me to know quickly the actually overall situation). I´ll try to comment with SitMap report for active theatres (like now China-Burma-SouthWest Pac) and the more interesting screenshots from combats. I am leaving out the text AAR option trying to improve thanks Feinder AAR ideas and Roger Neilson II simple and practical spreadsheet.
