AAR Operation Pillowcase, Attack Gibraltar

Well some of the Landing Force is on beach, but much is still in question.

As for Naval Support, I did not get the opinion, if I had.............280mm and 150mm Naval Guns would have been nice.

This is not a set scenario, my enemy made the map, which is a reasonable match for the Rock. It would seem he armed it historically as well.

I think I have a copy of it; I'll post it when I get a chance.

Lets Wait for the map, and the rest of the AAR

Sorry for the delay.

Map attached

Long story short, Half of the Landing Force landed near the South Mole and then I was handed a Utter Defeat!!

Lesson, should known better,

PLANNING and more PLANNING!!!

It sounds like fun PB.

Thanks for the colorful AAR though.

Thanks and it was, and a good lesson on the more complex execution of the mission the more likely your troops well get executed so to speak!

Bob,

You are a genius! This discribes a lot of what I try to do.

I'm for putting this in Bartlett's Familair Quotations. Is this a PanzerBob original?

Thanks, I think there maybe a similar quote somewhere but not put exactly the way I wrote it. My Airborne and Seaborne Assaults seemed more like excutions than Combat, hence the quote. The KISS Principal covers this as well "Keep It Simple Stupid!!"
