Hi guys,
 
Really nice AAR  -- both of you!! Can't wait for more............[:)]
 
Yakstock, are you using a map graphics mod?? If so, which one?
Thanks!

I use Microsoft Digital Image starter addition (came with computer) to trim the pictures down or patch together multiple screen shots (all taken using MWSnap freeware for screen capture) and then the rest I do in Microsoft Powerpoint. Add arrows, lines, text, etc. I publish the PowerPoint as a web page (easy step) and then upload to some storage area that Comcast gives me. Web seems to recognize and allows the slide show feature.

Perhaps I should be looking at this-I'll wait until thegame is done.

[Yakstock]

That's right Maestro - no scouting! [:-]

Hey,

Thanks for the info...... but I was actually inquiring as to whether you were using a map
graphics mod and if so, whch one it was. [:)][:)]

Sorry - I have tried some but this is the default map for Cota I believe.

What a great way to present an AAR! Good job!

[Trigger Happy]

Wow! It reads like a book. Great job really! [8D]

Very nice! Was always hoping for an AAR on what I think is maybe my favorite scenario.

Great AAR as usual Gary. Yes trundling through the mountains and ravines is always going to be so slow. As you point out it is critical for the Germans to maintain a series of rolling attacks. They have to seize the intiative and keep the Allies on the hop all the time. I acknowlegde that this can be difficult without good indirect fire support. But fortunately the German armour has plenty of direct firepower.

Day four....one day left to go - and a short one at that.

[font="times new roman"]What an AAR!  You really have a talent for this.  [/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"]It is nice to see I was not just wasting a lot of shell.  I thought I had some rather nice targets jammed along the mountain roads-and I really let them have “it”.  Clearly, artillery is what saved this game for the Allies.[/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"]Your strong left hook after clearing the western mountain pass was a very good move on your part-I was helpless to stop such an attack.  My only armor was to the west of the main highway-rather foolish in hindsight.  You sacked a DV HQ shortly after this breakthrough.[/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"]My units that straddle the northern pass road were becoming useless do to lack of “basics”.  I wanted to cut the road in several more places, but it was one of those times-“the men have spoken”.[/font]
[font="times new roman"] [/font]
[font="times new roman"]Thanks for a great game-till the next time[/font]
