Can the beta testers post After Action Reports?

Can we the people encourage them to do so?

Aaron (Red Prince) did a Global War AAR a while back and I am sure it is still buried somewhere on the forum. Also, Aaron and Paul did a quick Barbarossa, again, some time ago. As I recall both were fun games.

There is no provision against doing an AAR, it is just a great deal of work. Lots of screens to process and commentary to add as World in Flames is BIG game. All the Beta Testers are volunteers and have schedules limited by work and family requirements. I have wanted to do a quick Guadalcanal, but time just seems to vanish.

Hopefully, as we get closer to release there will be some material made available. This is my MWIF world, 2 computers, 3 monitors and Germany invading Poland for the umpteenth time looking for Net Play land combat bugs. Sorry, but that is the best I can do for now.

Yes, I read that wonderful AAR and that is the reason I wanted more...but I understand your reasons. Thank you. To all beta testers my best wishes: may the Force be with you!

First, you are welcome. All the Beta Testers are excited about game's pending release, though a little nervous knowing there must be something that we missed.

Second, here is a link to the Barbarossa AAR I mentioned in the post above:

I cited Aaron (Red Prince) and Paul as the players, but it was actually Aaron and Orm. My apologies to Orm. It is worth a quick read if you are interested.

Well, I finally threw my hat in the ring to be a beta tester.

If approved, one of the things I think I will do is run an AAR of the 1944 "Decline & Fall" scenario (if it is available), or the latest-starting alternative (if it is not), for two reasons:

(1) To get more experience myself running the late game.

(2) To bring more exposure of late game play to others.

One often sees games peter out in 1942 or so in WiF, if it's too clear that one side or the other has won (or if someone has failed their morale check).
