Playing Korea 1950-51 right now.

It didn't turn out very well at all.... I'm definitely going to play this scenario again and try to do a better job.
Good for you. That's the spirit. Experience comes through practice and it's only the scenario's that challenge
us that cause us to stretch our abilities. I'd like to hear more about what happens next. How about doing an
AAR for us? How about doing an AAR for me? I may see something that might help your gameplay. My advice
really kinda Depends on how much detail you provide though.
I tried doing another landing near pyongyang, right after that happened the Chinese intervened and I was screwed. I'll do another run of this scenario soon and do a detailed AAR of it.

I'll watch for it. You know, something else that occurs to me. You could read a lot of the AARs of others
to maybe pick up tricks and avoid the traps others find. Just a thought. You might also advertize for an
opponent because PBEM games teach more than Elmer games do. Try to put some verbage in your
ad for someone that is willing to do some hand holding and by that I mean someone willing to answer a
lot of questions. Take you under their wing kind of thing.
If you need to put warheads on foreheads who you gonna call? An FO...just one will do.

The one who can identify fully all of the titles above, wins a forfeit victory against me.

Is there a booby prize if you can't figure out any of them?

I haven't been playing. Rather, I've been designing. Guess the topic of this scenario (if you need a hint for some reason, note the date of this post):

Nope, but I may set up a booby trap in the boonies if you wish. That's for the humiliating defeat of my Commonwealth forces in your full North Africa scenario. Does that sound fair? Or am I to spring a regular ambush?

Of course. It's intended to allow players to easily get some practice with carrier vs. surface naval combat (like my Jutland and Denmark Strait scenarios allow them to practice surface vs. surface naval) per the new naval features. Got more involved than I expected, though.

Any defeats suffered in CFNA are on the defeated player, IMHO. Don't go blaming your humble designer.

I appreciate everybody who posted something. I count about 20 posters.

Now I'm playtesting TGW. Steve Sill and I are working on this scenario about the German / Russian war
but instead of going more complicated and making a FITE2 I was thinking about maybe simpler and easier to
produce something like Barbarosa '41 but longer. I say Steve and I but it's mostly Steve right now. He's
produced the map and the OOB and the events and so on and now I'm pushing the units around to see what
it plays like. So far so good.

Once again, back to designing. Let's see if anyone can guess the topic of this scenario (not as easy as the earlier one):

That's the one. I remember the theaters had to put in special low-frequency speakers for it. They literally made the seats vibrate.
