As stated in the initial post, this was my 4th time through this battle. The first three times saw heavy casualties to my troops. By the 4th round I had pretty much mastered the scenario. The Opfor mortar team proved to be my greatest nemesis in the prior 3 battles. In this battle I was fortunate to escape with minimal casualties to my forces from the mortar team.
Ghazwah is probably my favorite map from a pure playability standpoint. It always seems to deliver intense action. Pathing problems were minimal and overall the battle went with few hitches.
This was a big battle to do an AAR for and will probably be my last AAR for such a big engagement. It took several hours to complete the battle and then several more to complete the AAR. However, I think the AAR was as much fun to do as the battle was to fight.

Nice[:)].
I'd prefer if it was from one of those previous battles with casualties that you talked about in last post, though.

I was actually going to do an AAR on one of those battles but that was the battle where the replay got messed up and started doing weird stuff that didn't happen in the original battle. So I had to scratch that attempt. [:(]
EDIT: It's a shame too because it was my favorite of all the battles I was going to do an AAR on. I had a couple brilliant moments among my defeats that I wanted to share. [:(]
