Status: offline 		Hello all, I've been playing through Gunner98's excellent Northern Fury battle set (if you haven't tried them, you're missing out), and I've been putting up an AAR over at the Grogheads forum. I've had a lot of fun writing these up as a sort of novelization and I wanted to share here as well I hope many of you will enjoy the narrative of the story that Gunner is telling.

Anyway, enough for the introduction, here's the link to the first AAR:

Northern Fury 1: H-Hour

And the second one:

Northern Fury 2: X-Ray Station

Northern Fury 3: Dagger to the Heart, a different kind of scenario with a different kind of narrative:

Status: offline 		I found the best way to get my subs into the Soviet battle group formations in NF2 was to get in front of them, go deep and all stop, and then let the surface ships pass over. Then come up and launch your attacks from the rear, and if there is an Udaloy you need to take it out or at least get it to run away from you if you want the sub to survive.
