gajdacs zsolt -> Two diaries, One destiny - Zsolo007 (J) vs. darbymcd (A) (7/28/2010 10:03:54 AM)

This is an experimental AAR of the game between darbymcd and me as seen and experienced from the perspective of two leaders. A Navy Task Force leader, and an Army HQ leader. It is experimental, because I’ve never written an AAR before and I don’t really have writing experience. So this is going to be a test of my resolve, skill, and imagination. I’m going to try to convey the events of this war through the eyes of Tanaka Raizo RADM and Masaharu Homma LGEN. I’ll try to voice my inner concerns, fears and hopes through them and I’m hoping that I’ll be able to make this an interesting read. Dear reader, you’ll rarely find detailed combat reports, or long list of facts here, or at least these won’t be apparent. Also, I’m not a native english speaker, so that’s an additional challenge for me, please bear with it. One more thing still: My knowledge of Japanese culture is rather limited, so don’t expect this AAR to be an authentic conveyor of those times. I don’t expect much more than monologues here, since I’m writing diaries :), but the truth is I don’t where this will go. It depends on a lot of things, but first and foremost on YOU! :) Feedback and critique is very important to me, so if you have any don’t hold back. A bit about me: This is my second PBEM, the first one is still ‘in the works’ :). I’m not very experienced, though I did play the original WITP, but only against the AI. Been playing this one ever since it came out… I’m no military buff by the way so it’s entirely possible that I will write things that are completely unrealistic, please point these out for me if you see any ;). About the game: It is not a usual one, we are playing on John 3rd’s Reluctant Admiral scenario…with a twist. I don’t want to reveal much as I want to convey the changes as the game unfolds, but in order to understand the context I will write this: The US is out of the war until 1/43. But enough of the introduction and let’s get on with the AAR.
