Great little battle report from Andy Cowell originally posted on the I Ain’t Been Shot Mum Facebook Group.
The AAR uses scenario #19 from the Where the hell have you been boys? pack: Clearing Exit One if you’re the Americans or, if you’re the Germans, Blocking the Exit.

Those of you who have been on this year’s wargame show and Lardy Day circuit this year may well have seen Mike Whitaker’s excellent demonstration game Bloody Omaha. This is a fantastic set up representing The Big Red One’s assault of the eastern end of Omaha beach (Colleville-Sur-Mer).
Those of you who know Mike will know that he is a man of mighty generous spirit, as is proved here as he lays on the game for a couple of fellow Lardy’s who hadn’t had a chance to take part in any of the show sessions.

Apologies for the few days without a post: been a bit busy in the real world!
Anyhow, to return with a bang, here's another IABSM battle report from Brooklyn Wargaming, with a game taken from the Where the hell have you been, boys? D-Day scenario pack: cracking stuff!

I found a new source of IABSM After Action Reports today: a blog by a member of the Metropolitan Wargamers of Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York City, aptly named Brooklyn Wargaming.
Kimber has recently discovered IABSM, and has written a review here.
He has also posted a couple of short After Action Reports from the Where The Hell Have You Been, Boys?scenario pack.
#1: Find the Guns
#2: Holding the Pointe
#4: South of Vierville
Here's the promised second AAR from the OML2 game of Bloody Omaha...
I have two AARs involving Mike Whitaker's fantastic Bloody Omaha game. Here's the first: the warm-up game played a week or so before Operation Market Larden 2.
Great report, great photos!
I was lucky enough to be able to make Operation Market Larden 2 this weekend: a day of Lardy wargaming organised by the Wyvern Wargamers.
This was an excellent day's gaming at which I played Chain of Command for the first time in the morning (my apologies to my opponents for the slightly flukey at-the-last-moment victory!) and Mike Whitaker's brilliant rendition of the Bloody Omaha scenario from the Where The Hell Have You Been, Boys? D-Day scenario pack in the afternoon.
There will be a proper AAR posted shortly but, for the moment, here is a sample shot of the afternoon game.
Benito returns to I Ain't Been Shot, Mum! with an AAR taken from the Where The Hell Have You Been, Boys? scenario pack: the Battle for Neuville.
Two AARs from George Gouveia from the first two scenarios from the D-Day supplement Where The Hell Have You Been, Boys?
