Taking the Tip: A newbies folly...
 

Hi guys,

I greatly enjoy reading the after action reports that everyone writes. Here is an attempt on my part to add to the fun.

Turn Four:

British special forces are resupplied and have engaged
Egyptian sentries and maintenance troops. Resistance
has been light. Time to move out!!!

oops, forgot the screenshot

Looks good so far, Big Hess. I'm glad to see this AAR. Suggestion. Take out those Egyptian aircraft. This is easy to do and they will give you some nice extra points for your score.

Keep 'em comin! I'm reading and enjoying....WB

Thanks Wild Bill. Here is the next installment.

Para's are moving out with the support company in tow.
Pathfinders did a nice job destroying the Egyptian
aircraft. So far so good...

Turn 7

British special forces continue their slow advance.

Re: Taking the Tip: A newbies folly...
 

Turn 9

Action is heating up. The para's use smoke to screen
their advance and disrupt the Egyptian line of sight.

Turn 13

Most of the fighting is over. Lt Stevenson's para's and
pathfinders have suffered heavy losses but stood firm to
route the Egyptian Infantry.

Last VP about to be taken.

End game:

Decisive British Victory

Reflections on the scenario:

I really enjoyed this one. Granted, I have very little experience to compare it this scenario to but I had fun
with WB's battle.

Throughout the scenario I grappled with "what to do next"
The Egyptian counterattack really caused me to scramble!
Thank goodness the paras and pathfinders were of high
quality, otherwise this would have been a different story.

I had the benefit of a great drop by the boxcars. No units
landed in the drink like some of the other AAR's had. I
would have liked to advance with better support but in the
end my moves didn't work out to bad.

I hope this was fun to read. Thanks WB and team for the
very enjoyable scenario.

Keith.

Well BigT, the pleasure was ours. A decisive victory in this one deserves a salute. The enemy resistance continues to build and then comes the counterattack, which you apparently handled very well.

I'm quite impressed with your victory. The AAR you gave here was quite interesting and it does relive the moment.

I'm sure not only I but a number of other gamers have enjoyed it.

Bring on some more. They make good reading!

And thanks for remembering the team. It is the team that makes it happen. They seem to be able to always find my little bloopers, point them out with kindness and make it all work well.
