Greyhound Dash Axis AAR by Daz

Post by dazkaz15 »

I have decided to do an AAR on this.
My Elsenborn Ridge AAR is going to have to wait yet again I'm afraid.
I was waiting for the patching to end or at least stabilize before I started it, but now I am quite excited by this one, as I have never played it before as either side.

I am hoping that the experience I have acquired playing the game over the last few years is going to get me at least a draw, even on a first time run through.
We will have to wait and see.

This slide is a continuation of the work I have been doing in the War Room here

tm.asp?m=3583010

Its just a continuation of me thinking out loud, while developing my plan for the fist few days of the battle, which are often the most critical.

Slide 1

Its amazing how you quickly find out you don't have enough forces available, to do all you wanted to do, when you start to allocate orders.
Such is the nature of war I guess [:'(]

Thanks for putting this together. I actually printed out the first two slides so I could use as a tutorial guide. The first one (well the panning map) turned out fine, but unfortunately when I scaled the second one (slide 1) down to 8.5 x 11 inch page size,the font was too small to read the orders. I think I'll have to resort to keeping a second window open and follow along that way. But I should be able to do that.

Thanks again!

Thanks Rick [:)]
I'm trying to think of the best way to help you out.
Did you want to PM me your email address, and Ill split the image in 2, then email you the 2 halves so you can print them out, then stick them together with tape?
Alternatively, do you use Dropbox?

Thanks Daz, but no need, spend the time you have available doing your AAR and making these nice visuals. I just grab the jpegs you post here using the 'attachment' link in the post. This morning I decided I would load slide 1 into Paint.net and cut out the two division orders and the map and print them that way.

Thanks again you make some nice visuals.
