Previous AARs - Drive on Loenen (12hrs)


My second AAR.

Objectives are
secure Arnhem bridge 86
secure the railway bridge 43
destroy the enemy 29

I’m going to send 3rd Para Bn down the south road towards Hartenstein. 1st and 2nd Para Bns will head east before turning north, cross the railway and attack Arnhem from the north west. Hopefully 3rd Para Bn will act as a ruse and pull out some of the Arnhem occupiers. We’ll see.

Day 1
Time 14:29
My unit has arrived. A full strength 1st Para Bde. As detailed above, I will detach 3rd Para Bn and send them south east along the road to Hartenstein and probe Arnhem from the west. The rest of the 1st Para Bde will head north east and attack Arnhem from the north west.

3rd Para Bn is set to maximum aggro and low losses – they are only to probe at the moment – and besides, when they make contact and break off, they may drag some over eager young German commander and his unit out of Arnhem.

The rest of the 1st Para Bde are set to low aggro and max losses – they just need to get in position at the moment – although I’m not expecting any trouble here.

It’s 15:03 before 3rd Para Bn move out. 15:12 and the rest of the Bde are on the move. Now the lull before the storm!!

I would bet your picture is over 200K. You can't upload anything over 200K, and you can upload only picture per post.

You need to manipulate your image in some kind of image compressing program and cut only the part of the screenshot were the action is. I personally use Adobe Photoshop for this (which also allows me to insert comments and arrows on the screenshot), but I am sure there are solutions less heavy than using Photoshop

Yep, we use Paint Shop Pro for this type of work. Golf33 prefers Photoshop but PaintShop Pro is only a fraction of its cost, so the rest of us use it.
