Just a reminder to all you military strategists that I would love to see a Mook Right Hook (Axis) AAR. In my opinion, this is one very tough scenario.

I expect Dave will be along shortly to remind me for the third time that he got a decisive victory playing this. {I came close once or twice, but I guess I am not Dave's league.}

What about the rest of you, anyone man or woman enough to lead this struggle?

I have a 'draw' Mook AAR (Axis) if you're interested. I have to say that the victory conditions are tough, I inflicted 3 times as many casualties, destroyed many more AFVs and Guns and secured the Mook bridge. I expected at least a 'marginal' victory from that[;)].

I'll attempt a 'decisive' with the Allies next.

It will be a fun game as the Allies. However, I think the Axis is the real test of ones abilities. You not only need a really good plan; the execution itself must be flawless.

Challenges for the Axis are:

(1) Very small window to get the bridge shut down before it is too late.

(2) Largely dispersed forces.

(3) Largely exhausted or questionable quality forces.

(4) The terrain to the North of the Bridge is good enough for harassing the enemy and containing them on the North Bank, but not adequate to cripple their efforts while they are attempting to organize and push off from the South Bank.

I think playing as the Allies will benefit my attempt at a decisive Axis victory since I can get a better idea of their VP objectives and their value to them. Whilst this is very 'gamey' it means I'll know where they need to be denied.
