Mook Right Hook: The German Perspective

Yakstock · Post by **Yakstock** » Tue Mar 23, 2004 12:17 am

As you have probably read from EricGuitarJames, We are meeting on the field of battle and will be sharing play by play action as we move through the match. I will be the German commander in Mook Right Hook. I am using PowerPoint for my AAR as it allows me a little creativity in pulling it together and is easy to lay out. When you click on the link below it may ask you to install a viewer if you don’t own the software. Some who have tested it say you may have to reconnect to the link after a pause while it downloads and installs the viewer. Hopefully it is not too difficult and you should only have to do it once for all the AAR’s I post. When it opens, you should be able to navigate slide by slide or use the full screen viewer.

I will likely be uploading the whole PowerPoint file for those that want to download it but first I have to talk to Jef about hosting at the Dropzone.

I hope you enjoy it and I look forward to a difficult battle against a worthy opponent! This first AAR is an introduction to the scenario, and an overview of my strategy. Next one should be the first night of battle – which I will enter shortly!

Looks very nice!

One thng I would be interested in is how long each 8 hours of game time takes you to play.

Yakstock · Post by **Yakstock** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 1:24 am

We are playing on slowest speed (always) and we were able to play about 8-game-hours in 2-realtime-hours. EricGuitarJames has a time out on his internet hook up at 2-hours. This is a big scenario so it is a bit slower.

Great Job Gary ... looks like you have currently made the best of a royal mess. Half those troops are of such quality that they only use they have is absorbing ammo as they die. [:D]

Curious where the 505 went to, you should not have been allowed onto that ridge at all. 1st & 2nd Bn should have made swiss cheese out of those low caliber troops you sent in, tired or not. Guess they were pulled back for some R&R, but it gave you some serious spotting advantages ... This reminds me of the exact mistake I made in Tyne with you ... pulled back just a little TOO far, letting you get a sighting unit in for your Arty [:(]

You are far too good to let you ever get a spotting unit into place [:D]

Hey Gary, really looking great. All you need is some animation to make it perfect [8D]

I'm here.

Damn, as much as I dislike proprietary formats and most Microsoft products altogether, I have to reckon that your work on this AAR is impressive. As usual.

For sure, it does not render correctly under Mozilla, it looks like M$ forgot to release the plug-in for the competition. And a webmaster cannot count on the fact that people will have $$$$ office software to view its content. Whatever. I'd be pleased to host this.

To Bil H : please, do not encourage the guy to go more deeper into the way of non-standard stuff. [;)]

Now I'm trying to go through all of it, without forgetting the work of Eric.

Microsoft has a whole series of standalone viewers for all their products that is $free$ for exactly that reason.

You can get them here ( http://office.microsoft.com/search/resu ... 0331121033 )

Having dealt with Netscape vs IE for years with each one's perks and pitfalls, I can honestly tell you that 98.1% of the planet reads the web these days with the Microsoft flavour. I have the web stats to prove it [;)]

Consider that I don't want to be like 98.1% of the planet for certain matters. [;)] My choice of games tends to prove it as well. OTOH, I reckon you're 100% right.

Now, as Dave said : on to the fight

We want more guys !
