AAR: The Seven Year War of Ascencion, AAR from Celebrities from Ermor's POV

[Numahr]

This is an AAR from Ermor's perspective of the Celebrities game.

The game itself had the following characteristics:
- MA
- 6 players
- No diplomacy
- Intermediate level (no newbie but no hard core vet either)
- CBM 1.84

In the course of the game I got very interested by the strategic developments of this particular game, as well as some of its battles; so I started to record them for my own usage. Later I realized I would make great AAR resource, and I decided to polish my material to turn it into AAR.

Note that the AAR has the following characteristics:

- as I started by recording the main battles, it is mostly oriented towards analyzing them. However, each major battle originally had a "context" section summarizing the strategic situation; later on I fleshed these up with maps and more explanations to give more a feeling of a real AAR rather than a
collection of battles.

- by design decision I drafted the AAR thinking of complete newbies, that is, people, not knowing anything about D3. I also avoided speaking "gamey" so every thing is written like in a history book. But pictures should let understand that by "exceptionally skilled in astral magic" I mean, for example, Astral 5.

- some text was written "on the spot", some later. When it is written later, I try to replace myself in the original context.

- I will try to progress by small but regular bits (it takes time to re-encode the content for posting here)

OK without further ad, here it comes...
