1st AAR - Greyfox - 06-11-2020
Just published my first AAR on Scenario 1 of Iron Wolves. It took about an hour to write (I had a lot to share from the experience), but wasn't as painful as I at first feared. I will try to regularly contribute as I can, and would encourage others who haven't done one to actually give it a try.

Sounds about right to me. A lot of people don’t have the patience, but yes, you find yourself learning from these battle reports, as well as gaining some extra points. There’s a lot of scenarios that have been played but are left w no AARs, which leaves a lot of points to be gained from playing them and writing the AARs.

Great stuff, Greyfox!

I have found that writing an AAR with a different app, before posting is helpful. I use Notepad++, because it has a spell checker. Somewhere there was guide to how formatting worked. Even if it isn't around any more, the formatting is fairly simple. It is useful to me to compose the AAR that way because composing in the browser window is more difficult for me.

Peter is absolutely right. Both Drew and Peter know that I’ve struggled w losing the AAR by just getting it written out in longhand. You can knock it out quick, right?
Wrong! I make more work just using the PG-HQ AAR page w/0 backing it up.Go to Notepad first.

I keep a Word file that I update every 10-15 turns as needed. There's a clipboard with scrap sheets sitting against the leg of the game table to jot rough notes as play moves along; then it's transcribed with minor buffing to the Word file. Those 75+ turn scenarios are impossible to AAR otherwise imho.

What is an AAR?
RE: 1st AAR - saracv3 - 07-02-2020
Uh yeah, Jay.
