Concerning AARs

[desert]

If a subordinate delivers an AAR but you accidentally dismiss it when you go on lunch break, is it possible to view the AAR again? Or is it lost forever?

[freeboy]

? please clearify ?

[desert]

I got an AAR but accidentally zoomed in and clicked the exit button. Is it possible to view this AAR again, or is it lost forever?

[Sker]

Do you mean the replay of your opponent moves? In this case I fear that the replay its lost i don't know any way to wiew it once again.

[desert]

No, this is all a terrible, terrible misunderstanding. I mean my AAR, after I conclude an assault. Here, like the picture in the 2nd Civil War thread, if I am give permission for its use (please):
 
His AAR from http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1574459
 

 
That sort of thing. Am I able to view it again if I exit the window?

[Sker]

Oh sorry for the mistake! Now I 've understood your question.
But unfurtunately the answer is the same: I'm pretty sure that there is no way to watch it again. Maybe if is very important you can reload and do the attack again, but only if you play against the PO of course.

[desert]

Well, I am playing against the PO, but I just wanted to see my losses. It's kind of inconvienient that you only get to see them once if at all. I mean, what do my secretaries do, shred them?

[Sker]

If it's just for the general losses you can check the situation report, if you play with that option enabled. But it gives you just the general percentual, not the whole detailed report. You will find it in your saves directory

[desert]

Well, thats somewhat helpful, at least.

I think he (Sker) means the sit rep log - provided you have turned it on in the advanced game options and you know the hex coordinates . Otherwise there is no way to watch it again.

If there is something interesting I don't want to lose, I end up doing a screen shot and saving it in a folder. The sit rep log only shows top level info, not the nitty gritty stuff I am interested in... Problem is it becomes a pain in the rear cutting and pasting 10 thousand times during a scenario. [>:]

[desert]

Well, the problem was caused by the invisible glitch which blots out windows when you zoom in.

I am now the commanding officer of the U.S. 1st and 9th Armies along the German West Wall. It is Turn 6, and it seems a chance bombardment on an enemy divisional HQ blew up a futuristic radio jammer, allowing my officers to report the situation. Here are some interesting sectors along the Wall:



[font="Courier New"]AACHEN SECTOR SEPT. 15TH 0757 HOURS[/font] - My men had to fight and pocket a good deal to form this beautiful line. I've got the equivalent of 3-5 infantry divisions and 2 tank divisions there. We know they have various garrison companies and a tank regiment along the wall. It is speculated that they have more than 4 infantry divisions east of Aachen. The pockets in the North are the fools who tried to flank the 18th Inf. Regiment along the line. The circled pocket has been holding out for the past 5 days, although the brigadier general in charge of the attack expects to eliminate them within 7 hours.

[font="Courier New"]LUXEMBOURG SECTOR SEPT. 15 0828 HOURS[/font] - 7 against Thebes... Recon reports tell us that there are at least 3 infantry divisions in and behind those lines... more than that Armoured Division can handle.

[font="Courier New"]MAASTRICHT SECTOR SEPT. 15TH 0907 HOURS[/font] - A week ago, a forward regiment was smashed by an enemy Volksgrenadier division. The 117th and 120th Inf. Regiments with supporting units moved to reinforce. After a day or two of protracted fighting, they received 2-3 tank divisions in the area as reinforcements. Mop-up commencing.

[font="courier new"]Luxembourg Sector -[/font][font="times new roman"] [/font][font=arial]Big problems.

[font="courier new"]Center South Sector - [/font][font=arial]Since Luxembourg is a lost cause, I will now move 28 Inf Div and 102 Cav Group according to the yellow lines and the 22, 112, and 110 Inf. Regiments along the red lines until they meet up with units in Central North Sector.[/font]

[font="courier new"]Aachen Sector - [/font][font=arial]Digging in and surrounding their forward units. They instigated some major skirmishes which cost me about 500 men and 10 tanks in total. Their casualties range from upwards of a thousand, and a breakout attempt by some of their units lost them a Panzer regiment with 8 Panthers. Intel has informed of them moving an entire reserve division to the line directly south of Aachen.[/font]

Turn 8 Cont.

Luxembourg degrading, distraction attempt dismal failure.

Central South mostly success with platoon and tank platoon losses. 

Central North mostly success with company-size losses.

Aachen had some success with moderate battalion losses.

Maastricht had total success with negligible losses.

In total, about 500-700 men, at least 150 trucks and 150 jeeps with 15 tanks and various other equipments. Their losses are generally unknown, but they have lost at least 2 Panthers, some Pz. 4s and Stugs, and over 1200 men with 200 trucks. One massive bombardment annihilated one of their battalions completely. Only 2 M4/105 Shermans lost. What do you think?

[font="courier new"][/font] 
[font="courier new"]Maastricht Sector - They attempted a breakout at the 2nd Arm. HQ's base but a bombardment buy some 105 mm guns in tactical reserve managed to save the HQ from destruction and half of their attacking force was wiped out. I RRCed them now, so they are in one hex again. Preparing assualts on wayward HQs with extra armored battalions.[/font]

[font="courier new"][/font] 
[font="courier new"]Aachen Sector - Breach in the center of the line. Some units took considerable damage from skirmishes. In the north, attacking the 253 Ersatz with elements of 67 Tank Bat. and the 117 Inf. Regiment. I will try to pocket enemy forces west of Laurenberg and south of Schmidthoff with massive artillery support, but the colonels in charge of the attack warn that losses could be potentially massive.[/font]

[font="courier new"][/font]
[font="courier new"]Central North - A platoon from the 181 Fusiliers managed to break out of my pocket with the help of 78 Ersatz and 302 West Arm Battalions. Moving elements of 3rd Armored Div. for support, will attempt to break through enemy lines at Losheimgraben and pocket them. Same strategy attempted at Wahlerscheid. [/font]

[font="courier new"][/font] 
[font="courier new"]Central South - Here, I am about to finish off the 2SS Panzer Regt. I will need reinforcements, however. The Germans have brought up units identified as 108 Pz. Brigade, and are apparently attempting a pincer manoeuvre, signified by red dotted lines. A massed bombardment is commencing to soften them up.[/font]

[font="courier new"][/font] 
[font="courier new"]Luxembourg - Withdrawing as planned, leaving the R and A Command Groups to delay them. Otherwise same plan. However, I will send the entire division up to Central South to reinforce against the 108 Pz.[/font]
