"Sergeant Perry" is a long time contributor to the TFL Yahoo Group. He plays IABSM in 20mm with a stunningly beautiful collection of figures, vehicles and scenery.
His After Action Reports are always very picture heavy. Here are three featuring the same scenario from the IABSM v3 rulebook: Action at Galmanche.

/Originally posted 4th May 2012
We have a flourishing community of Scandinavian Lardies: renown for their good humour; extraordinary combinations of hair style and beards; and wonderful After Action Reports.
Here are three After Action Reports, all from the Miniatyrmannen (The Miniatures Man) blog: two from various Cons, and one from a club game.
A Tale of Wooden Crosses describes how a German reconnaissance force succeeded in its aim of finding the enemy...
The game put on at Incognicon 2012 was based on the Nice One, Kirill! scenario from the TFL Summer Special 2007:
Finally, a good looking Winter War game set back in 1939:

It was great to meet so many Lardies at Salute yesterday. Included amongst the many was Benito and his fellow wargamers from Madrid, Spain. It's therefore good timing to post one of Benito's latest Charlie Don't Surf after action reports, with a scenario taken from the Surf's Up scenario pack.
