Finally

Sorry about the spotty updates, but the has been a berivement in the family, and as you can guess, theres not been much urge to play computer games, especially ones where you commit to writing an AAR.
 
That said, I do hope to return to some sort of regular update in the next week or two.
if not, someone find me and beat me around the head until I do.

Looks like it may be weekends only for a time.

EDITED = so that the Headline doesn't read "Burigard Destroys Kentucky" [X(]

two turns as nothing happened of note in the first.
recapturing new orleans has really helped my money situation, I've been able to go back up to 5 dipolmacy and with the 15% bonus from Clarke, i should see some movement there soon.
some lesson about concentraiting resources there I think

Grey Hunter In Midweek Post Shocker!
you know, I never thought about the endgame being the hardest part, were down to a few small battles and some seiges, which makes it hard to write about, turn 50 didn't even have any casualties!

time to get this sucker done I think. the games just gone past the point where the AAR can be entertaining anymore.

I second this and adding that is is probably best AAR I have ever seen. Great idea showing it in newspaper style.

Godspeed

I've just paid this AAR the high honor of mentioning it at the very beginning of my "It Ain't a Lost Cause Yet!" AAR, since compared to this about the only thing mine has going for it is color screenshots.
Michael Jordan plays ball. Charles Manson kills people. I torment eager potential customers by not sharing screenshots of "Brother Against Brother." Everyone has a talent.

That was a close one, narly had a rout on my hands, and that would have been bad, as i can;t afford to loose all the nice kit they have. looks like I'll have to forgo the heroic sacking of washington, but I had such plans for it.....
also, how much is the union pumping into diplomacy?

Glad to see you back Grey. Your approach to an AAR is great! I look forward to continuing to follow the fight through the newspaper!
