Without doubt this AAR alone propelled me into registering on Matrix and am trying to convince my USN retired brother to take the plunge w me and do an AAR.

You, my friend, have my highest praise.

Ouch, ten years since this AAR started? That time went fast.

Would love to. E-mail would be much more convenient if you have her address? I plan to buy a copy each for my son and myself.

Just finished page 1 w your R&D air production notes on your rematch blog AAR. I will get caught up to your current page in the next couple weeks and weigh in w a comment when I get to the current point in that AAR. Will be great to be a part of it as it unfolds!

Herbisan,
I reread this AAR. It was and still is amazing.
Despite working for the US NAVY for 7 years and riding many ships, I learned more about steam then they ever taught me (Darn Gas turbines).

Was the book ever published?
Is there a chance we can get it online in some form?

I don't normally read AARs but was bored and started scanning the AAR section stumbling on this due to its pure size. Then noticed when it started with politely, heck! Wonder how it ended and when?

I've not read it all and never will, just the last five pages but it does show just how truely epic this game is and too spend so long playing a single game both players deserve huge plaudits to finish it. Then there's the writting ....

Is there another game like this! No and probably never will be which is sad.

This is one of the top 3 AAR's ever written. A must read for EVERY player or wanna be player. Seriously.

The writing style here is almost professional. The perspective, a member of the "black gang", unique. The insights into tactics, particularly air tactics, are required reading. Herbie is one of the very best air tactical players. When he talks about those tactics, read slow and parse everything.

Other than that, just enjoy a really great read!
