This will be a picture heavy AAR. I will try to point out the differences between the two versions as I come across those. The primary objective is still to give an understandable account of how the war developed using this game.
I am using some new picture editing software-so bare with me until I get a feel for its proper adjustments.
The colors I use in any drawings should be consistent; red will be for the front lines and enemy attacks/movements and blue will be for friendly attacks/movements. There may be a need for an occasional shading, but it should be obvious as to what/why.
The preliminary setup and orders have been issued. All the starting situations will be posted. The following battles and developments will be added asap. I hope to play through several turns per week-and post accordingly.
Please feel free to make comments or ask questions as the aar unfolds.
The first screenshot is of the game options I chose for this scenario. I prefer the 3D markers as those are easier for me to see than the soldier icon. NATO markers are fine also, but just so, um, old fashion.
One thing I checked which some may overlook is the precise unit routing. The game seems to take the shortest route if left to its own means-this is not always the best. By checking that one box, you will be able to choose a route through several provinces without the route changing against your wishes.
