ORIGINAL: larryfulkerson

I had some time on my hands the last couple of days so I started a playtest of Autumn Fog using TOAW to play the German side.

The nexst 10 AARs are ready to view.  They come in two parts to make download "easier".

Part 1:  http://www.fileshost.com/download.php?id=F0BA5D731

Part 2: http://www.fileshost.com/download.php?id=92DE4CD01

Here's the movesminimovie showing moves from turns 11 throu 20:

BeefLeg and I have started a PBEM game of Autumn Fog and Brad ( aka BeefLeg ) is the Allies and I'm the Germans.  So far all that happens is my opening moves in turn 1.  But there's an AAR for this game and you can find the first AAR here:

The Germans are running wild in some places on the map.  It's a sight to behold.

I told Brad that if it wasn't fun for him anymore that we could switch sides.  Does that invalidate the playtest, Steve?  Just wondering.

It doesn't look so bad for the Allies, they still haven't given up any of the important bridges. The penetration into the Hohes Vehn west of Monschau is disturbing, but I doubt the Germans have significant units to exploit, and the Vesdre River makes a good fall back position in the area. Stick with it if you can, we still haven't seen any German player get across the Meuse against a human.

I parked the turn 6 AAR for the Autumn Fog game between Brad and I at this location:

The Germans are making gains faster than before and the Allied reinforcements haven't shown up yet in the south part of the map.  The Axis is on the outskirts of Bastogne already.

Judging by the number of downloads, I am the only one. I do have an abnormal interest in the scenario. Something about downloading the file must discourage people from looking.

It seems that the Allies don't have any units to stop the advance of the Germans in the middle  of the map.  So they are running rampant.

Here's the AAR for turn 15

http://www.mediafire.com/file/sfvl868s9 ... n%2015.zip

I'm getting a lot of Allied interdiction so obviously he's received his planes already.  I haven't seen any bridge bombing....I hope Brad hasn't forgotten he can do that.  I'm reaching the Muse River in a few places and I'm not sure if I should advance past it or not.  Movement west of the Muse might trigger the 30 Corps or something.

Brad says work has gotten imposible so he's having to drop out at this point.  So I've started a game of Autum Fog using version 3.4 Beta TOAW III and I'm doing the Germans as PO and here's the first five AAR's:
