CMBS Grudge Match DAR - How Chap made Usually Hapless Utterly Hapless

[dkchapuis]

First, it's fantastic to be able to make fun of Hapless in a Forum Thread that he isnt allowed to enter to defend himself !

Second - and more important - below are links to videos about the rematch between Hapless and myself. I decided to do DAR videos every turn hoping to get some entertaining color commentary about the match.

The is a Grudge Match. Fight to the death. No holds barred - except for our agreed upon rules.
In the Blue Corner - Chap. In the other Blue Corner - Hapless:

Just watched Turn 5. Hapless sent me another message in spoiler...

Furiously looks up how many charges Trophy APS has

Great videos! Good presentation.

Thanks for doing both a short and extended version of the terrain analysis. Currently don't have the time to watch extended version but the short versions still gives enough info to grasp what's going on in the battle!

Thanks for the feedback!!!

In quite a AAR videos, a lot of time is spent on terrain and force selection (or no time at all), so I try to find that balance. But also, a long terrain analysis is interesting sometimes. So i figured this was a good compromise.

I just watched Turn 7. Lots of action. I havent had a chance to do orders, but here is a screenshot...

One of Hapless teams firing off a Javelin. Spoiler, it doesnt hit a tree...

Turn 7 - it was a wild one ...

Turn 8 ...

Turn 9. I forgot to mention it, but I am getting increasingly concerned that I havent spotted much of Hapless's force. I added it up in the editor, and Ive spotted 3900 of 8500.

Turn 19 Preview -

I decided to go "Crazy Ivan" with my A Company Abrams. Below is the orders movement. If he can run the gauntlet, he should end with LOS of two (hopefully unsuspecting) Hapless Bradleys - which Im not sure facing two Bradleys is a great spot . And who knows about hidden infantry. But should be fun either way!!!
