North Africa mega battle event video AAR

This is a shortened version of the AAR describing the Mid-War North Africa mega battle event played in Malmö Sweden 14/4. It includes basic information about each side and the major events.

We had 5 Axis and 5 Allied players per side. This was not a regular Flames of War battle for several reasons. Playing area was enormous, each side had 1 general responsible for bringing in reinforcements and buying off table support. Command cards were drawn at the start of each turn by each commander and turned into troops or support.

Special event cards were also part of the deck and included tactical advantages. The game master also had a list of events which played out when specific objectives were met on a tactical level or by an individual commander as each player had his own mission.

The game master also threw in random events such as nightfall, dust storms, off table naval bombardments, airplanes coming in from nowhere, unexpected reinforcements and other things to maintain a balance in the game and to keep it moving without getting stuck in locked pitched battle position.

Big thanks to Patrik for making this game happen and acting as the game master, but also for making most of the terrain - with the help of Thomas to cast and paint all the buildings.

Also a big thanks to all players taking part in this event and making it highly enjoyable with noone acting out or being a dick.

A full 2 part written battle report featuring roughly 140 pictures is coming up shortly and will be posted under the tags "Flames of War", "Battle reports" and "Conventions and Gamedays".
