Lovely looking game and great AAR, with the 'arrows' showing movement a real help .

Very interesting AAR, thank you

Ah whoops that's a typo, thanks for pointing out, you are completely correct! I've updated it now to the correct date.

That's cheating !

Says someone who can alter any post of his own......and any others I feel like....(WHENEVER I want)

Though the bit at the bottom that says "Modified by Techno," is a bit of a giveaway.

Change your name in the forum temporarily to "nobody", then it'll be modified by nobody.

I still think that would be a bit of a giveaway, Matthew.

There was a very good scenario for this battle in SLINGSHOT in the 1980s; players were uncertain about unit strength until first contact and then an average die was used to determine how many hits the unit could absorb; die outcome adjusted for quality and type of unit.  It worked very well.
