AARs: Show Us Yer Games!

The third Edition is quite good and complete. There are a lot details such gunfire charts for aech nation but I do not like too much the style of the ship logs..

The advantage for me is that using the rules cover WWI (adding Fleet action imminent) and WWII.

One of the reason for their scarce populÃ²arity is their length. All together are about 130 pages plus charts and ship logs.

130 Pages!? Yea that's a lot. One of the things I like about VaS is its pretty straightforward. Very fast with little complexity.

I play Seekrieg and at times it can take a while to complete a turn but since I usually play with a group that takes months to fight battles we have always been happy with the rules.

My group likes to play games that can be finished in 2-2.5 hours. Any longer than that and they start losing interest. Also for tounament play you need to be able to play 3 games in a day.

Using a modified IABSM east front scenario.

When we do convention the games have to be short. We usually give some decent maneuver room and have engagements with higher number of ships. Seekrieg also can be time consuming when firing and resolving damage. That said I like the realism on damage.

I have to admit I like realism myself but most of the guys I play with are willing to sacrifice it for playability. They don't mind if the designers take short cuts to make the game move along better. VaS was a big hit at the club.

Played a Scenario from ASLSK, S1 Retaking Vierville. US dominant win - scenario needs more tinkering.

I wish I'd thought of the nickname before signing up for GHQ. 'Cause I would've used here as well, to make it consistent.

Here is a link to an AAR by Roger for the game our local group played Saturday:

http://www.brittonpublishers.com/Files/ ... ge_AAR.pdf

The scenario covered the first German 1057th Regiment company-sized attack supported by German "liberated" French R-35 tanks to retake the La Fiere Bridge from elements of A Company, 505th PIR. Most of the terrain is Ben's, whose wife created the marshes. It proved to be an exciting and hard-fought battle

Our group will be running this scenario at Cold Wars on Friday, 6 March at 2 PM -- Event No. F103 "Battle for the Bridge."

The AAR includes pictures of my GHQ figures and vehicles. You've gotta love 6mm. Ben

That's a great board - is the marsh plastic tarp?
