Title: The Uwanda/Mugabia War New AAR
Post by: irishserb on 11 September 2016, 04:31:28 PM

Hello all,

I posted an AAR about the 19th battle between my African imagi-nations Uwanda and Mugabia on my blog.  The most recent battle was a small air engagement, using my new attempt at air combat rules for the first time. 

The game is currently set in the 1980s with Uwanda being a former British colony supported by the west, and Mugabia a former French colony, now supported by the Soviets and Cubans.  The war is about to escalate greatly in scope, as Uwanda launches a full scale invasion to counter Mugabian occupation of a tribal territory along their mutual border.  Mugabia claims to be supporting the Uwandan Liberation Front (ULF) in unification of traditional tribal territory there. 

AAR19 is an inadvertent air battle that takes place shortly before H-hour of the big invasion. The AAR is located at:

Hope it might be of some interest, and thanks for looking.

Thanks for the kind words.  Will be playing the next air battle this weekend, if I can get some more aircraft stands done.  Then I can get on the ground battles.

Thanks again,

I've added AAR20 to my blog, another air battle between the air forces of Uwanda and Mugabia.  A little more involved, this is the second run with my fledgling air combat rules.  I've tried to make the AAR a little easier to follow.

Posted a new AAR in the war between Uwanda and Mugabia, a large (for my imagi-nations) land battle this time.

For those who are following along, I've uploaded AARs for the last two dogfights associated with the battle at objective B21.  Both are small encounters involving aircraft that continued to trickle in during the first turn of Uwanda's invasion of Mugabia.

Still enjoying reading these AARs, there's a real sense of story telling.
