My Journey (albeit slowly) in WITP-AE has begun.

I am documenting it and if it leads to anything I'll post in the AAR section maybe

Several AAR writers have posted that the process of trying to write an AAR forces them to organize there thoughts in a way that helps their game! If you have ever tried to explain something complex to other people you will have experienced this "I must understand this topic thoroughly if I am to explain it to others" moment.

And of course, you can ask for input on questions of how the game handles things or what your next steps should be. Experienced players often hold back some details of ops plans until the ops is launched because sometimes people reading AARs on both sides of a game accidentally let something slip.

To make it easier to do the AAR, many players post only a weekly update and selected combat reports, perhaps with monthly maps to show the situation. Posting every combat report creates a lot of clutter so it is hard to find the important info IMO.

Thank you BBfanboy, good points all around and will take your advice if I ever create an AAR.

It doesn't help that work is becoming very crazy just before, during, and after my move.


What's all this then?


You're either being very funny (which you can be at times ) or you haven't seen my almost weekly posts with house construction updates in THE THREAD!!! It's been an 18 month process but we close on the new house on November 29th and are moving in on the 1st of December.


Ah. So. I don't get around these parts very often anymore. Truth is, I plum forgot about your new house! Well anyways, congratulations!

Thanks, CB! And to answer your question, people who want to have around $100k of equity in the house on the day they close, because the prices have risen that much since they signed their contract in September of 2020.

Plan is to read the manual (ton of info in there really) and follow up with patch notes. Then play Coral Sea and then Guadalcanal. I am sure issues and questions will arise.

Thank you.

Braving the gauntlet and flying to Phoenix to be with my mom and sister for Thanksgiving. Our forlorn hope is that by leaving today (Saturday) and flying back on Thursday (Thanksgiving day), we can avoid the scrum that will be travel midweek and late next week.

My 'easiest' airport / flight experiences have been travelling ON Christmas Day in the past: airports are eerily vacant. Haven't travelled on Thanksgiving day before, so we'll see how this goes.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends here!

+1 to travel on the holiday. When I was in the military I got some leave around Christmas time to travel to the wife's home Province and return in time for Jan. 2 duty. We flew in on Christmas Eve to a nearly empty airport late in the evening (only connecting flight available). On the way back we drove the 125 miles to the same airport city but had to wait overnight for the flight early next morning.

It was NY eve and we went to the best hotel in the city and asked for a basic room. The hotel was pretty much empty so they took one look at a guy in uniform with his wife and two little kids and gave us their best suite on the top floor for no extra charge! The only drawback is that when we tried to give the kids a bath there was no hot water coming out of the tap. It was really cold outside and the water felt ice cold. Hotel staff came up but concluded it was just that no one was using hot water in the empty hotel so we had to draw the hot water all the way up from the basement, warming the pipes too before it got reasonably warm at the tub! Took about 40 minutes! The kids just wrapped themselves in the adult-sized bath robes and watched TV while waiting! Very nice gesture on the part of the hotel.
