Bob Flemin' and Orm. A World..AARse!
Well this should be fun (for Orm).
Me and the Swedish Maestro will be trying to play a game of Global War via e-mail.
If our CTGW games are anything to go by, the Allies (that's me) will surrender by Jan/Feb 1940.....
...but I will do my best [:)]
May the best man win......

US scrapped units are pretty standard. All the rubbish carrier planes and the weak fighter, the worst infantry and garrison unit + the worst TRS.

RE: Bob Flemin' and Orm. A World..AARse!
The Soviets scrapping is equally unexciting - a fighter, the worst garrison and that's about it really.
The Soviets set up gives no clue as to there intentions - albeit a move into Iran or Finland is not immediate!

Happy for you to feed Ormster duff information and advice - I'm going to need a lot of help. Oh and by the way, that's between you and I - don't go telling Field Marshal Orm now about our little plan.

RE: Bob Flemin' and Orm. A World..AARse!
well in the real war, there was an American journalist embedded in the capital of the Third Reich for many years. I think his resulting book title focused on the verb "Decline"
while all the AARs are great, I think this one might have a new feature that will be very interesting to everyone - how you handle the many "inactive side" decisions as you move through the game

RE: Bob Flemin' and Orm. A World..AARse!
This might be a good place for me to find information. [;)]
While I do search for that important intelligence I could share some totally unimportant information. Italy has placed their units and even though I would like to hide where the Italian navy is located it is not possible to hide so many excellent ships.
The English Navy better beware and consider themselves warned. We Italians are a peace loving people but we will not tolerate English Imperialists to interfere in our internal affairs.

Perhaps I should also mention that Italy scrapped plenty of units.

The Italian Navy Air force have decided to place their primary base on Sicily in order to support economic growth there.

Do you mind if I make comments?
When someone is playing solitaire, I have no problem with making comments, but if two people are playing, it can be very impolite to make suggestions to one of them on how to play, particularly about future operations. (Commenting on past mistakes is not so bad.) So what is your (both of you) position on kibitzing?
I will give warspite one suggestion: Once at war with the Germans, always have at least one unit in Paris, no matter what, until the Germans capture the place. Always. And I mean always.

What about joke (or, well, partial joke) suggestions?
Orm, if you're the Axis, make a point of sinking the Warspite (it can be your 1941 campaign goal). Gotta be worth the resulting morale check, am I right? [;)]

This is just a bit of fun so if people want to chip in with comment, advice and tips, I have no issue with that at all. What say you Ormster?

RE: Bob Flemin' and Orm. A World..AARse!
Well: let's see how you guys are going to battle on the battlefield.
And to the honourable Mr. Orm: absolutely NO looking into the US entry positions! No cheating allowed here! If I ever find out that you do, I will personally advice Mr. Warspite to flatten your home using the big guns of HMS Warspite... [:-] I'll advice mr. Warspite not to show any information on that in here too.
It's so much fun to provide all kind of misleading information to the Axis (and your Allies too) if you keep that one secret as the US player. How much fun it is if you suddenly announce to the world that the US is DoW'ing the Japanese or the Euroaxis and succeeds...

Over to the Chinese now I think. Hopefully all these new-map AARs (thanks again, After Action Reporters) have well illuminated the risks they face.
RE: Bob Flemin' and Orm. A World..AARse!
Set-ups for the Chinese, CW and French were all pretty standard. I have a nice infantry in Algeria to bring across asap [:)].
I remembered to swap a TRS for the Queens - they are cool!

RE: Bob Flemin' and Orm. A World..AARse!
Though I enjoy the delightful pictures of Mrs. Warspite, now that we are finally watching a real game, we hunger for illustrated campaign maps. There is no "standard" when your opponent is over there on the other side of the frontier, in the dark, where they can't be seen, planning who knows what. Why they might even dress up in your uniforms and blow up their own radio tower or something, to show off to the South American journalists living large in your capitals.
regardless, I know we will see them soon enough, once the bad guys show up on them. I hope your email folders can handle this traffic.
Oh and I really liked the zoom level in Orm's screen-shot. Even though I like the generic counter zoom in his solo AAR, I also like the maximum detail of this beautiful game.
