Conclusion...After clearing the village, the remainder of the 1/500th consolidated east of Martef, leaving 2 dismounted Mech Plt's to guard Rumani and the Village. The Bn had made it through the initial screen of Egyptian Commando's, but at a price.

Lessons learned were discussed between the Bn Cdr and his leaders:

1) The Egyptian soldiers encountered fought tenaciously and they didn't run when attacked by tanks.
2) They had better, and more effective anti-tank weapons, especially the Sagger and massed RPG's
3) PC's were extremely vunerable to Egyptian Infantry
4) They needed heavier artillery to dislodge the enemy in prepared/built up positions.

Excellent opening scenario!

The next will be more in my style...narrative AAR. I had to get back into the mechanics of this outstanding game. You guys did a great job of intergrating the mods giving this game such an "Arab-Israeli Wars" feel!

bootlegger267,

I really enjoyed watching this AAR unfold. Got caught up in the suspense of it with your every move![:)]

Particularly, regarding the play interface, I like your usage of the black silhouette counters in 2D. It reminded me so much of Avalon Hill-Arab-Israeli Wars of long ago.

Good stuff all around and thank you!![;)]

Glad to see the "Boardgame Map Terrain" mod being used [:)]

A little historical perspective in regards to the opening scenario....

Taken from "The Yom Kippur War" The epic encounter that transformed the Middle East by Abraham Rabinovich (updated 2017)

Probably the defining work on this conflict....

continued....

...and of course, when I go to continue the campaign, only the HQ's group was brought forward to the next battle. No "Scheduled Arrivals" in the dialog. IDK if this is normal.....

Also, Side B was set to Manual, not Computer Controlled, as I tried to advance the turns to see if the rest of the Bn would show up.

Is there a way to load "Saved As" files in the campaign. The 'File Menu" does not respond to the "Open" command.....

Bootlegger

Hmm, that is odd.

Let me know what you find out, please.

Let me know what you find out, please.

No Problem....Replaying the 1st battle

Jason, same thing happened. Only the Command Group came forward after the first battle.

anything you need from me to figure this one out?

May I have your files?

Sure....Tried to attach the the Campaign.ccl and Campaign.cpn here but to no avail. PM me with your email.

Im re-reading this now. Really well done and exciting. I was really disappointed Audible didn't have it available as an audiobook.
