Metric Keys

1. I've completed the first iteration at formalizing the 6 metrics that I will capture for 9 events (land combat, air combat, naval moves, US entry) thus far, which is provided below. I will be adding to, and likely modifying, events as I progress through my game.

2. I've updated my AAR template rev 6 for these initial 9 events which are captured in Global 1 - 9 logs.

3. With respect to documenting this AAR I've decided on the approach I used in our 6-player global PBEM game in which I documented at the end of each turn and where everything for a given theater and for that turn was documented in sequence.

4. I was struggling with organization and flow when I was (trying) to document every impulse.

5. So I'll see you back here at the end of the turn. FYI. I'm just starting impulse 3.

Forgot to do spell check before I generate all the log graphics. I did spell check after but I don't after the energy to go and regenerate them. So please forgive the numerous spelling errors. Also, I didn't review my grammar either ... so please forgive that too. Hopefully you get the real-time feel of the action as it unfolds.
