Well I've finally got around to starting my first WitE AAR. I don't predict it will be as spectacular as some of the WitE AARs I've been following over the past year, kudos to some of you out there. However, I do hope it is informative and fun for the whole family. Although I can't promises to keep the rating of this AAR below PG-13. First a little history of my opponent Bill Wheatley. I first encountered Bill walking on the road, shivering in the cold; when I learned he intended to spend the night huddled outside the school gym, I offered him a place to sleep at my house. Ummmm, errr, sorry that was The Blind Side. Actually Bill and I have never official met, but we have been friend for many years now and it start when we found each other as opponents in Advance Tactics. Great game, but I digress. I have the utmost respect for Bill as an individual and fellow war-gamer. He's quite and accomplish mod maker himself when he has the time. As a proud new papa, Bill hasn't had the time to game much lately. We're both going to give it a go again. The first game we played (out of the box) end in late 43 when the Soviets landed in Romania and the Romanians switched sides and 4 German armies disappeared from the OOB, so we called it quits. Bill had a good edge on me even before that occurred, so it was still looking like a Soviet decisive victory. I hope to do better this game against Bill. Of course many changes have taken place since we last played, IMO much needed changes to help balance the game more. It seemed to be heavily favoring the Soviets back at the release point. Bill seems to usually get the best of me, but I'll do my best to trap/beat that slippery fox as much as possible this game. Here's a recent picture of my opponent, Bill, to share with you. Oops, sorry that's Ernest Borgnine when he was playing the role of 'Dominic' on Air Wolf. Can't seem to find my picture of Bill, but when I do I'll post it. Just getting my snaps ready and I'll be updating the AAR the rest of the evening. oh one house rule: No HQ Build-Ups for either side for entire game.
