It will form part of the offside report I shall write about the battle for THE NUGGET.<br /><br />I always enjoy this sort of wargame because they give the participants an interesting - and very individual - experience. <br /><br />I don't think that it is a style of wargame that will appeal for everyone because you do not have a 'helicopter' view of the battlefield and you are not pushing toy soldiers around on a tabletop.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-58939213166507295722014-01-20T21:05:21.363+00:002014-01-20T21:05:21.363+00:00Chris,

It is remarkable how such a large-scale operation can lend itself to a subjective narrative presenting a very limited point of view - the effect of the fog of war. It lends a whole different flavour and experience, I believe, to the usual war gaming, and the resulting AAR the more engaging for that.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-60809404757284660282014-01-20T20:21:54.269+00:002014-01-20T20:21:54.269+00:00Howdy,
