Ted,
Don't some tournaments award points to players who take the time to write AARs? Or penalize players who don't? Have you considered doing something like adding a few points to the score of players who contribute AARs in the later rounds of the tournament? I suspect an incentive would increase the input from the players, and I know you are looking for comments from both sides on your scenarios.
All of us players, no matter how newbie we were when this tournament started, are beginning at least our fifth PBEM scenario. We are all capable of briefly reporting what happened from our point of view.
And selfishly, I really enjoy reading how differently other players have managed with the same units and terrain that I had, and also how others have handled the forces my opponent had. I suspect I may have even accidently learned a few things from the others who have written AARs.</font>
