SleeStak Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Elvis and JonS's fine AAR generated an enormous amount of interest on this board and was extremely entertaining, both for me personally and for the community at large (if the views are any kind of measure). For the first time in years I found myself checking out BattleFront.Com a couple of times a day and enjoying not only the AAR, but the discussion about WWII military tactics from so many well informed amateur and profession historians. I'd like to humbly request BFC commission another AAR. I'm pretty sure they'll be able to find two people willing to volunteer to fight it out if Elvis and/or JonS aren't interested in doing another one and using a later build will allow more features to be divulged. How about it Steve? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pešadija Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Preferrably an AAR with those two again! Go JonS! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG TOW Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 how bout a quick battle AAR or DAR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Preferrably an AAR with those two again! Go JonS! Why, thank you Personally, I can't do another AAR. They are surprisingly time-consuming, and I was lucky that I had a fair bit of spare time in Jan to do it. Even so, pretty much everything else I was working on went on the back burner or got dropped completely. Regards Jon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I said it before and I'll say it again... QB AAR! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Keep in mind that when an AAR is being done that's two testers out of the loop. Doing those AARs is extremely time consuming, which pretty much burns up their time allotted to actually testing / moving forward the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I might talk to Bill H about doing an AAR on a QB we just concluded. I have all the saved turns so it may just be a case of replaying them and then writing a commentary to go with it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPB II Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 From a marketing point of view, you should do an AAR where a CMx1 player from the USA plays against a scheming, calculating evil Oberst in a feel good story of the year, involving a boy and his dog warning the Allies of a Jagdpanther ambush further up the road! The AAR concludes with a picture of a GI handing a chocolate bar to the boy while kneeling down and scratching the dog behind it's ear. Good boy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could do with something interesting on this forum to read again , all gone a bit quiet over the last few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pešadija Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I only have a desire: whoever makes an eventual AAR/DAR, the Germans should have nice armor! A less static and more aggressive thing a la Mortain! With the Pzkpfw V! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeStak Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I really like the idea of bringing in a CM1 veteran against a CM2 tester. I, like I suspect lots of folks out there, really enjoyed the classic CM series but never really got into CMSF. I'd love to read the reactions to different facets of the game from someone like-minded. With that said, I'm sure doing an AAR thats comparable to JonS and Elvis's fine piece would take a great deal of time and energy. But that AAR really took me back to the heyday of CMBO, CMBB, and CMAK. I'd love to see another one while we wait for the previews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Since the first preview is Sunday, that doesn't leave a lot of time for an AAR. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeStak Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Wow, I didn't realize the first preview was so soon. I was under the apparently mistaken impression that the previews weren't for another month. Regrettably, I won't be able to attend one but I can't wait to hear the reactions from them. I'd still love to see another AAR though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryphonne Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 LOL : ) i feel your pain. Thanks for your compassion But yeah, I'd have to agree. The flow of new information slightly dried up (sorry Steve, feeding us only makes our hunger for info worse ).. Personally I'd also love to see videos or somesuch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like that old saying: "It's better to have loved and lost then never have loved at all." Thats what some people are telling themself, so it hurts less. I think a one turn video with commentary would be nice too, where someone shows us what is being worked on, what has been done etc. I'd like to see some gameplay in motion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnersman Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Here's a thought; Hows about letting myself and one other random player produce another DAR? Like I said, just a thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
