Isn't there an option for counters and map choices where the trees do not float above the units? Personally, I cannot stand how the trees obscure the counters.

Hi JP,
All you have to do is mouse over a unit in the game and it's immediately brought to the forefront so that the terrain does not obscure it.

This game looks a lot like panzer grenadier by avalanche press. Are there tanks or off board artillery? Leaders? Sorry for all the questions but this game looks very interesting.

There are tanks and off board artillery. There are no leader units.

Thank you for posting such an informative A.A.R! As a beginner (and not having played COH before), this definitely helped me better understand the game.

You are very much welcome. The great thing about it is that the game has been improved upon a ton since I did this AAR. From the maps to the counters all the way down to implementing the classic rule set. I give WCS credit for listening to their customers and delivering what players were asking for, and much more.

Hey there Missouri Rebel,
I read A LOT of AARs on boardgame geek. Your report above is one of the very best AARs I have ever read. Excellent images and very clear commentary, including a number of insights into the 'why' as well as the 'how'.
Remarkable work.

Thanks fentum. That's quite a compliment. This was my first and only AAR that I've done and was a lot of fun to do. Writing has never been a strong point for me as evident by the many grammatical errors, but I figured I'd give it a go anyhow.
I'm contemplating updating the AAR and to try to recreate this battle using the new board and counter graphics. Would be a pain though with the constantly needed load saves required.

Hey there Mo Reb,
I would PAY GOOD MONEY to see you write another AAR [&o]
But, how about tackling one of the other Firefights? I am thinking specifically one with Tanks, and several tactical approaches e.g. The Monsters.
Now that would be something.
I do, however, reckon that it must be extremely difficult and massively time consuming to do these, so you can just relax. You have more than done your bit for the game.

Same here especially since the game has been updated since your first aar. You can't have too many aars!

Have you seen Jorams excellent Monster AAR yet? If not I suggest you do. He does a great job with it.
