I'm getting old.

Ah the good old days of dial up internet, and waiting for images to load...

There are two ways to run an AAR, one AAR for each player, and a single AAR for all players. It used to be very common to see "Soviet AAR, No Adolf" type subjects. I have not seen the "Don't look" style in a while. The way we are doing it, one AAR for three players requires some holding back. Using this method I get to see how clever Python's Chessboard and Animals theme is, and Frank's staccato style. We can each inspire the other but I do not share targeting data.

Looking at AARs in general I want to share the game with an audience. I want potential players to see how deep this game is, and how much it is worth investing in. One thing I do not want to do is to make Python and Frank any better than they are. As the Allies I have my fears, "What if he does that?" type stuff. I do not share these fears because I think your opponent is the best observer of your weakness and strength. I do not want to help them with their lessons.

Even in a multiple thread AAR I would hold things back, and I suspect the other players would also. I have been playing this game for a decade. I still see things my opponents do that I would not do. However I am going to play them again, and they must learn these lessons the hard way.
