Thread: Joe’s war- a Boer War battlescenario AAR

  1. #61
    I have one suggestion about the map of this scenario.

    When you confine the map boundaries to the boundaries of territories immediately involved in the war then you place tight constrictions on it.

    they whould unlock portugese territories in Mozambieque,
    more of Bechuanaland (botswana), rhodesia, and more of German SW africa

    The reason is this - the Boers could've gone into other territories and the british could've followed them in or th Boers could've packed up and left and relocated further towards the interior of Africa there are more possibilities than the Boers defending themselves, the british dominating, and teh Boers taking the cape over.

    Just because those are the most likely - lets give the game more flexibility.

    Callum was intrigued by two men working on a country road. One man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on. The other man came along 25 feet behind and filled in the hole. "Hold it, hold it," Callum said to the men. "Can you tell me what's going on here?"
    "Well, we work for the county," one of the men said.
    "But one of you is digging a hole and the other fills it up. You're not accomplishing anything. Aren't you wasting the county's money?"
    "You don't understand, mister," one of the men said, leaning on his shovel and wiping his brow. "Normally there's three of us: me, Hugh and Willie. I dig the hole, Hugh sticks in the tree and Willie here puts the dirt back. Now just because Hugh's sick, that don't mean that Willie and me can't work."

    These bumps do happen from time to time and actually I think they are nice. It is always good to see that someone is still enjoying one’s writing although the game is finished, and as I very much enjoyed playing and writing about this game I thank you all for the support and the fine words

    Thanks.
    That is one of the good and bad sides of battle scenario AARs they normally are short and nice, it can be good because it is quickly done and gives the readers a short and nice story, but it can also be bad because normally it ends pretty quickly and then the readers might actually want more. Still in the end I think these kind of AARs are nice to read and follow, so I am glad you enjoyed it!
