This year’s A World at War event at the World Boardgaming Championship saw twenty-six players refighting World War II in six
A World at War games, a significant increase over
last year’s turnout. Three of the A World at War games began from starting positions arising out of
Gathering Storm, GMT’s companion prequel game which begins in Spring 1935,
and three of the games were ‘classic’ games of A World at War. Two of the
Gathering Storm games were played before the convention by e-mail and the third was courageously played
on the first day of the convention.
After Action Reports (AARs) were written by the players from several of the games. Those AARs are posted here for your enjoyment.

Garcia Game Report (05-05-04) |
Pablo Garcia |
This is the first
AWAW game played by Pablo, while Luis has a large playtesting experience on
the system. The game started in September of 2003 and is being played (from
Santiago and Buenos Aires) by email using Warplanner 2. Currently both
players are involved in other PBEM games. What follows is an Axis/Japan view
of the war, up to the summer of 1942. The focus is on military developments,
while research and diplomatic details are highlighted only when necessary.
The Euroaxis
general strategy has focused on naval research and sub/raider warfare
(borrowing heavily from the recent ULTRA article on sub warfare), while
large amounts of DP s were poured into USAT and RGT. The Empire of the
Rising Sun follows a rather "learning by erring" plan, only belatedly seeing
the pointers on the yahoo-list (highly recommended). The experienced Allied
player has graciously allowed the correction of many blunders stemming from
the yet-incomplete grasp of the rules by the Axis player, and has displayed
a cold-blooded determination to fight the Axis in the proper occasions early
in the war. |

Tension Tracker (05-07-04) |
Jason Haelewyn |
Event by event drop down menu style of tension tracking. Each turn,
just answer the questions with the drop down results. This results in
an event by event running total of tensions. Hopefully the questions
prove to be intuitive and easy to understand. Some areas, such as BRP's
spent on offensive operations, require some calculations on the users
part and then you only add the total modifier for that turn to the
running total. If you have comments, suggestions, or corrections please
