AAR frequencies

[armyduck95]

Although it has been over a year since I played, I certainly believe in the value of the AAR (as 2012's most long winded AAR writer I have some cred). When I play, I write an AAR. Part of it is just the military in me - it is an effective knowledge sharing tool. Like Alan, it is a commitment to the game and the community, and to me, it is evidence that the game was played to "earn" rank and ribbons. I know it is all virtual and a fun reward system - but to me the AAR differentiates a true hobbyist/gamer from a power gamer/ribbon grabber.
I see a member might have racked up all of kinds of massive scenarios, but without an AAR there is no answer to the "why" a scenario is good or bad and unerstanding "how" a result transpired (was it scenario design, or a player mistakes, or bad luck that resulted in the loss?), and what might be done differently for another player to try out.
