Tabletop AARs / Re: Back to Quatre Bras

Last post by MengJiao - September 18, 2023, 05:09:09 AM

Okay, so I thought the French should say on the defensive and play for time while keeping Wellington busy, but a weird series of activation rolls seemed to be leaving the Allies open to some defeats in detail so...I attacked with the french...maybe a bad idea, but it looked like this:

It's 3pm and overall, things look like I might be doing the right things for the French for once -- just doing enough to take all the objectives and then trying to run the clock down while keeping Wellington busy.  Might work:

You put a lot of time into both the game and writing up this excellent AAR.  Great entertainment for us!

Thank you.

Great job! Both the writing and the playing!

Thank you.  I've always enjoyed the "Rule the Waves" and "Steam and Iron" series. 
On a slightly related topic, in case anyone is interested is whether they should buy the game, here's a pretty good Youtube highlighting the way the game plays by Drachinifel.  For those who do not know who Drachinifel is, he is one of the more knowledgeable and popular Youtubers on general naval issues

Well done Grand Admiral Tripoli!    Any plans for higher office next Election Season?

I'm probably going to do a post-war wrap up and then take a brief break from this AAR, as I have some CMO and Combat Mission AARs to write up.  But I will return to this one.
