Orne AAR
A friend and I just picked up Normandy and had a go at a blind H2H of Orne.  Attached is a link to Dropbox of AAR.  I also included a link to a video to get in the right frame of mind for the battle.

Hope you enjoy it - this game is a a blast.

PS - I found the better browser for this to be Mozilla and once open in dropbox select full screen to get the best look.

RE: Orne AAR
Gary,

Wow! What a hell of an AAR! 

Interesting way to do it in a Powerpoint - my only complaint is that it moves through the show very quickly.

We need to work with you posting the whole AAR in the forum so everyone can enjoy your write-up. Great to see both the commentary from yourself and opponent.

I'm also glad you enjoyed the scenario - we put a hell of a lot of time into the research behind the game and with a solid order of battle as well as some really talented scenario designers we have ended up with a game the design team are very proud of.

PS I have realised I can pause the show with the right click menu

RE: Orne AAR
Gary,

A couple of other comments - I know this was your first time playing the game. 

If possible after landing the para's wait a turn (ie do nothing) to allow them to recover from disruption. You have a lot of disrupted units still at turn 5. While disrupted they are pretty much ineffective. Much better to get them sorted.

Secondly, get your platoons combined into companies. You will hand out bigger losses and more importantly take a lot less fatigue keeping your troops battle worthy for longer. You can use the 'highlight organisation' tab to find the platoons that belong to the same company.

Note, I have only watched half your AAR, but your opponent got 'XXX' units because he came forward as a company.

Thanks for the comment - definitely learning along the way so thanks for the help!  Glad to work with you on the AAR in any way.  You can have the whole original PowerPoint through Dropbox.

Herb and I are starting up another few games as well.  Will be trying to document as we play.

Absolutely love this game!
