Since I just got the series started (yes I am behind 10 years) I started with small scenarios, printed out the rulebook and tried to get my head around how to play the game.

READ THE FULL AAR HERE: http://bluntforcegamer.com/?p=2088

My first AAR is a famous occurrence in WW2 and that is the German assault and surprise capture of Fort Eben-Emael.

Eben-Emael was a Belgian fortress between Liège and Maastricht, near the Albert Canal, defending the Belgian-German border.
This fort was taken early on May 10, 1940 through the use of German gliders of the 7th Flieger which landed on the roof and blew their way into the fort.

My last attempt to play this scenario ended in a draw, my FIRST one ended in a Allied victory so I was getting better at the game. In this attempt I was determined to use my crack Wermacht units to hit the enemy hard, isolate them and push on toward the victory point towns. The initial setup looks like as seen below, with the Germans moving in from RIGHT to left.
