SP202 Fiery Finale – AAR This is an unusual (very) late war scenario by Mike Augustine covering a situation, in which historically, the Russians have stealthily created a small bridgehead for a carefully prepared attack. Then, the Russian company commander – absent in the rear for weeks –...

FrF86 Belgian Tigers - AAR A quite fast playing scenario set in early war Belgium. The Belgians defend on the far side of a canal with some infantry, 2x MMG and a 75L AA Gun and will receive reinforcements in the form of a radioless tank platoon and later 4 squads plus leader. The Germans...

Strachwitz's Tigers (RetroPack #2) - AAR My opponent proposed to play this Kursk-action as the Germans as he is kind of prone to heavy metal hard hitting German bad-ass troops. I was kind of guarded as this scenario was published by Critical Hit in 2007 or 2008 without any reference to the...

Hart Attack (J167) - AAR This scenario has some interesting things in it: A German 40LL ATG is rarely seen in ASL, 5x US M3 tanks are nice to play with. And the victory conditions make this scenario special. You need to figure out quite well what you are planning to achieve and how to allot...

Jonathan Kay posted the following AAR on FaceBook Recap from my annual week in Copenhagen at the Scandinavian Advanced Squad Leader tournament: Game 1: J187, “In Deadly Combat,” with me as Russian attacker commanding a large Russian force assaulting the German-held Crimean town of...

BFP-97 Renewed Pressure - AAR: My opponent proposed this scenario that has seen quite some play over the years. ROAR has it 31:20 pro German (Jan. 2018) with a rather high Exitement Rating of 6.95 out of 9. I have played it before back in 2012 as the Germans and lost. This time, I would have...

BFP-48 Ninth Tanks - AAR I had played this one before a couple of years ago as the US and remembered it being a fun scenario, so I gladly played it again when proposed by one of my opponents. This time as the Japanese. Note: The Mild Breeze must go into the opposite direction. I conceded...

SP276 Triumphant Return - AAR A short 5 Turn one-board PTO action pitting a mostly first line force of Americans vs a mostly first line Japanese force with two Trenches and two Pillboxes (with Tunnels), these Fortifications having to set up in a more restricted area than the rest of the...

Lenin's Sons (J103) - AAR Situation at the start of the game: A much played infantry only scenario which pits a crack German force vs. a crack Russian one. I had the Germans in this one. With regard to the general tactic, there's no magic in this one: Woods on the German left flank, open...

Timely that another poster would resurrect FCGorgon's nice AAR from last year. That thread inspired me to complete the campaign myself... Just finished my first ever play through of the Ozerekya Breakout HASL package from Lone Canuck. With only a tiny bit of arm twisting, my regular weekly...

This is not a "proper" AAR, most of all, because it's not after the action. Those are just a few comments on and highlights of our ongoing Riley's Road Campaign Game (the return match). This time: CG Date 1, 19AM: Pre-game and 1st turn As some might remember, I lost the first time we played...

FrF89 Red Tears Shed On Gray - AAR Note that Hexrow R is NOT in play - it was added because otherwise the LOS tool of VASL was offset. An early East front scenario that pits the Romanians vs. the Russians. The Romanians have a pretty good force of 16 squads, 4 of which are Assault Engineers...

SP213 The Mighty Have Fallen - AAR Picture of situation at the End of Japanese Turn 4, when the US conceded. Interesting PTO-action that pits a more than 50% Elite Japanese force with excellent leadership supported by half a dozen thin skinned tanks against a dozen early US Philippine Army...

J43 3rd RTR in the Rain - AAR After a couple of years I played this one again when one of my opponents proposed the scenario, once more as the defending Germans. Also in this second playing, the game was fun. In the early game, I was quite lucky to inflict some breaks on the British advancing...

As to avoid double posts, I will provide links to the individual 8 AAR's of the scenarios that I have played at Grenadier Tournament 2017. These all include a map of the scenario and the OoB's. List of scenarios: YASL 2 – Initial Skirmish vs. Sebastian Hummel...

DB136 The Block on the Trail to Hell - AAR Little PTO action that is bound to become close and personal. A force of Marines must blast free an area of Japanese GO units. The Marines have serious firepower, 2 DCs and a FT. The Japanese are well equipped with SW, may set up entrenched and have a...

J159 Tropic Lightning - AAR My third playing of this excellent scenario. One of my undisputed all-time favorites. This time, I was the Japanese. This game went fast because Lady Luck was surely caressing me. In the initial US movement, one American stack was whacked by a HIP Japanese 347 to...

ESG#21 Dying To Kill - AAR I played this as the Russian. As we felt the scenario is pro Romanian, we used the follwing balance: Russians get extra 4x "?" counters and exchange 2x426 by 2x447. The Romanians have an absolute crack force featuring 6x 447AE's, a 10-2, 9-2, 8-1 infantry- and a 9-2...

SP22 Tod's Last Stand A peculiar situation in which the British must fall back across a stream against slight HIP German resistance from the far side while being pressed by strong German troops from behind. After falling back, at least one unbroken British MMC must hang on to survive in at...

ESG#107 Put Out The Searchlights First Playing: What was the ASL wisdom that everbody knows and yet everbody doesn't act upon now and then? Read the Victory Conditions carefully! Doh! I overlooked the part that "Each controlled multi-hex building *WEST* of the canal is worth 1 VP". Playing...
