July 30, 200916 yr Silent Hunter AAR Wow Wow! Again. Great AAR. The best i have read. (sulking because i missed taking part in the game) ........ (more sulking). Interesting to read that each side was co-ordinated enough between players to have standard procedures or tactics (for example the exclusion zones). CIC combat plotter. I'm interested and should find out more about it. I use graph paper as well. I thought submarines would be the most time intensive (not naval aviation). Again, sounds like it was a great game. Nothing can probably beat the tention of being in a game like this and only knowing what the umpire passes on. Looks like more posts to read and catch up on ...
July 30, 200916 yr The VicConds actually require the Soviets to have both boomers survive to win- losing one is an instant loss. Yes, I'm aware of that. However, at scenario start the NATO subs are about 45 nm away from that objective. The Soviets are instantly able to achieve theirs.
August 5, 200916 yr My After Action Report: *** Log Entry 0500L061488 USS Providence (SSN-719) entered the battle area Simply, chilling. Great write up. Really. Apart from firing the harpoons, maybe not allot happened. But reading about the contacts, the sheer number of them. Wondering what may be happening above, joining the dots of some of the contacts and what might be happening to others. Fishing boats?!??!?!!! Sounds like a nice touch by the ref if its not in the scenario special rules. Captures fantastically well "Submarine warfare, always waiting to see what happens next ...,". AAR reads like a movie. Like all good thrillers its often the unseen threat or the unknown that scares the most. And thats how i'd imagine submarine warfare to be. (Now, back to sulking because i missed out).
August 12, 200916 yr Anyone planning on running another PBEM? I don't know, although I'd like to do one.
