Great AAR !

Many thanks for doing it.

Not that it matters at all but interestingly Crossroads posted the message below after he also thought initially the battle was a draw....


but for a one final surprise! I receive a report that due to losses caused for 2nd/7th Cav, I receive a 200 Event Point Award. That moves me and my brave troopers to Minor Win category!

Fire up those barbeque grills!


Strange you obviously didn't get the same message.

Either way this is a real meatgrinder of a scenario...tough for both sides it seems.

Cheers

Ian

^ US side with first phase of last turn, me with second phase, where I actually went over the threashold, as I found out looking at things!

Once John looks at the finished battle I sent to him it will be there.

Great battle, thanks John!

[Big Ivan]

Thanks gents.

I felt kind of robbed at the end, but it is what it is I guess.

It was an interesting battle. Intense is a good word for it.[;)]

[Crossroads]

This is often the tactical question for the side who goes first; do you break out from contact for the last turn, can you break out, even. Do you fire, do you save a plenty of op fire for any last turn desperate attempts by oppo?

We have discovered a messaging flaw in the scenario script. This will be fixed in 1.01 (and thereafter).

^PAVN not getting a pat in the back if they down a helicopter, to be precise. They do get the EP award, so not a showstopper.

It is a good practice to check Victory Dialog and both sides EP status at beginning of each turn anyway, to stay alert if something's going on under the radar...

^Or maybe not, if you want to preserve truly Enhanced Fog of War. [8|]
