I think the great Photobucket culling isn't going to help. I know my AARs got nuked by it.

That whole Origins Command Post fiasco would have made a helluva AAR. :buck2:

It's not too late for you to write it!
Those brain cells died many bourbons ago.
Never, ever blame bourbon.
Could've been Scotch.
It's okay to blame the Scotch.
Next time it needs to be filmed like a mockumentary.

That's the only way it could be filmed.
Uboater's Starfire Saga has been quite nice.
Moezilla's Warfighter WW2 -- Soviet AAR.
SDR vs Barth, Labyrinth War on Terror
Banzai Cat's Barbarian Prince! :bd: Too bad it didn't reach any resolution. :'(
Although (moving on to digitals) that couldn't possibly hold a candle (nothing could) to BC's Champions of Krynn AAR, which although started about 11 months ago still had more than enough entries this year to count I think. :notworthy:

Thanks, JP. I'd like to keep it going. Along with the Champions of Krynn one, too. I'll get back to them at some point.

Yeah, that deserves a 2017 nomination.
Maybe a 2018 nomination also. :-"
It's a shame that Dropbox basically killed Crossroads' AARs. :pullhair:
He did two deep ones this year, but this one ran the longest and down to the wire. http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=15700.0 "CS Middle East: The Crossroads (West Bank, 5 June 1967) -- DAR vs Berto -- "
^that does suck. He was doing some excellent work on those.

we're actually looking into this for next year
Airborne Rifles would get my vote for the most edge-of-the-chair AAR's. Excellent stuff.
AR does great stuff, indeed!

Thanks for the mention! I still have all the pictures, and I named and numbered them to have turn information... 163 screenshots, so maybe I'll just start adding them back, one by one. It was a fun battle, and went to the wire indeed.
Damn dropbox indeed >:(
Edit: I found out that it is possible to share those files again, i just need to obtain a shared link, and change the url end of
?dl=0 to
?raw=1.
Lesse here:
