Ben and I have finished the second session of our ongoing Burma campaign game and have made it just over a quarter of the way through, finishing 11 of 41 turns. So far the weather has been fairly decent with just a couple of turns of light rain with restricted air operations, which other than not allowing some airdrops for the Chindits, has had no effect on the game.

Another game that Bill and I played over VASSAL a while back. As with the last AAR, this was originally posted elsewhere as more of an ongoing report than anything else. This is an awesome scenario, one that I'm looking forward to getting on a table sometime in the future during a long weekend.

26 July, 1942: The Germans have captured Rostov and are jumping off their drive to the oil fields in the south.

The following is a fairly detailed example of a Reaction Phase that includes Overruns, a Fighter Sweep, a couple of Hip Shoots, and some combat and fuel supply concerns. While plausible, the following situation is entirely contrived in order to allow me to cover areas of interest. Whether the following represents the best course of action during play is debatable, but every effort has been made to ensure that what is presented here is in accordance to the latest version of the OCS System rules (v4.0). Game specific rules, except where noted, are ignored.


THE SITUATION
The Russians have just finished the Supply Phase of their Player Turn and are in control of the village of Krasnoarmeysk which sits along the rail line that the Germans are using to supply their advance. The Germans would like to clear the village to open up the rail line as soon as possible and decide to press the issue during the Reaction Phase.

The Russian Pe.2 is stacked underneath the airbase marker to signify that it is Inactive.

I didn’t start playing OCS until a few years back, and even though my collection includes all of the games in the series, I have never played any of them using anything other than the current version of the system rules (hereafter referred to as “v4.0”). While I’ve never really had any issues playing older games with v4.0, there have been some discussions on CSW and BGG on how to make some of the older games work properly with them. It appears to be generally accepted that all of the games in the series can be retrofitted fairly easily with the exception of one: Guderian’s Blitzkrieg.

This is an AAR from a game that Bill and I played via VASSAL over the course of a couple weeks last January. It was originally posted elsewhere as an ongoing report. Korea: The Forgotten War is my favorite OCS game and this scenario in particular makes a great OCS introduction for a new player.
