It's better than any movie! Does anyone have a recommendation for other AARs? These are wonderful experience and training tools.

Cuttlefish vs. Q-Ball

These are my favorites. A very nice mix of strategy, tactics, harassment of the other guy, and an amazing amount of knowledge.

I wish I could do an AAR of my own to run alongside his, but I just dont have the time or writing prowess. Plus as he is the boss he can run turns whilst at work

Status: offline 		The most popular AARs, and I think the BEST ones, are two-sided, where each opponent has one. I personally love Dual-AARs, which is why when I looked for an opponent for my game with Cuttlefish, I specifically asked for someone who would write an AAR.

Cuttlefish is the best writer around, I'm sure many want to see a reprise of Voyages of the Hibiki........not in our AAR though (Why? You'll just have to read it!)

I will be trying my first campaign in a couple of weeks and will have an AAR to accompany it. 

Every AAR is different and provides all sorts of perspective.  I REALLY like to cover strategy and operational planning (plus some serious crying/whining ) within my pages.  REALLY think the best AARs is where each player is writing one so you can go back and forth.  In that regard Dan Roper and I had one heck of an AAR running with WitP that made it to the end of 1944.  Great experience and a lot of fun.

The multi-player AARs are great too...fun to read the back-and-forth between the players...

- 100% agree; both of these also contain excellent advice on how to manage the Japanese economy - don't know what I'd do without these AAR threads...

That was $50, not $5!  I'll tell you some guys...................

I only wish that I could play as well as John, Canoerebel, Cuttlefish and Qball just to name a few.  That would help me to make my WITP AAR much more interesting, though a conservative (me) Allied player just into 8/42 doesn't have much to beat the drums with until about now.

In all honesty, I'm far from the best writer as I'm sure is recognised compared to the likes of Cuttlefish and Q-Ball's for example. Highly recommend their's.........
