#1: Modest, first AAR Author: BB-61, Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2008 9:37 pm — Is it allowed to post minor AAR's here, concerning a single battle against the AI? If not, I apologize for the following.
Regards, Chris
AFTER ACTION REPORT
Action in or near Raids, Normandy, 13 June 1944.
On June 13, we ran into units of the 17th SS division around Raids, Normandy. During our advance into the village a sturmgeschutz was spotted in a field by units attached to Lt. Fisher while engaging the enemy on our left flank. I ordered Sgt. Johnson, who was in command of the Wolverine, to cautiously advance towards the StuG and attack it since it was directly threatening Lt. Fisher's positions.
Sgt. Johnson advanced with the Wolverine, temporarily halting on the road leading into the village awaiting instructions as to the best route to take towards the StuG which was hidden from Sgt. Johnson's view by trees, hedgerows and farmhouses.
[I had to attend to a different part of the map for a minute so I temporarily left the Wolverine parked in the road behind my lines. I knew that the German's didn't have any Pz Büchse or PAK's and since there were trees, hedgerows and two farmhouses between it and the StuG I assumed there wouldn't be line of sight and hence the Wolverine would be safe there for a minute.]
While on the road Sgt. Johnson caught glimpse of the StuG in the field beyond between the trees, hedgerows and farmhouses. Using his initiative, Sgt. Johnson rotated the turret of his Wolverine and shooting through the trees and hedgerows destroyed the StuG with a single shot thereby significantly helping Lt. Fisher on the left flank who was under great pressure from the enemy.
With the StuG out of action Sgt. Roy commanding the Stuart could safely enter the field previously occupied by the StuG to assist Lt. Fisher in the defense of his position from determined attack by enemy SS units. As a result the enemy was forced to disengage and we were able to secure the village.
I recommend Sgt. Johnson for a bronze star for his action in destroying the SS sturmgeschutz.
Signed,
Lt. Moon,
Commanding

Also, you might want to consider including pictures in your AARs. It makes it more appealing and helps us to visualize what you describe better.
there's a nice utility in the download section that very easily allows you to take pictures of your CC games. That way, next we'll be be able to see all the bloodbath
happy gaming!

Some more detail of your infantry movments would be great!
Also: lots and lots of screenshots please!
And when you feel that you are ready, play a GC H2H with some one, and write an AAR. Those gets very exciting!
