Finally got the AAR's for Turns 4 & 5 done. I actually played these games a month ago but didn't have the chance to get this done. This weekend I will be playing the final turn to conclude the campaign. The campaign rules and tactical rules are from The Solomons Campaign and GQ3 respectively, both published by ODGW. link |

Nice writeup!! (You need to work on your photograhy, though…) MH |

Thanks for the comments. The quality of the pictures is due to the 10 year old camera that I am using. The wife was using our good one. |

More specifically, it looks like the camera moved during the exposures. So you need either a faster shutter speed, or more light, or a tripod in order to allow time exposures The 3rd option requires a means to trip the shutter without moving the camera, such as a cable release or a timer. You could fix these things with almost any camera, even a 10-year old one. :-) However, I'm just being picky here; your posts on the campaign are fascinating regardless. Also, I like the way you lit the night battles differently from the daylight ones. Do you use a different playing surface for night? It looks darker. MH |

I used a black sheet for night battles and a blue sheet for the day, I wanted to make sure that night battles actually looked like night battles. The lighting wasn't on purpose I think the daylight outside actually was changing to dusk while we were playing. |
