Boot Camp tutorial and U.S.Pacific campaigns AAR

[JoaoLuisAngelo]

Hello all
I beg your indulgence in reviving these old campaigns, they have probably been done to exhaustion.
Also I realize I come a dollar short and a day late in my effort.
In my defense I can only submit lack of skill (never published a blog, never even used Gimp and had to learn how to do both) and motivation.
Motivation comes primarily from having watched TheEdmon's playthrough on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... s8e8TwcBpk) and I really, really, really feel that his opinion/evaluation of the game needs a counterpoint.
To that end I present my playthrough of the Boot Camp tutorial (completed, first two missions available, the remaining two will follow in a day or two) and U.S. Pacific campaigns (still to be started, and it will take a couple of months for the first mission).
I welcome tips, tricks, suggestions and comments not only on the game itself but also on how to use Blogger and Gimp, I'm barely able to do the basics on these two.

Folks, after some technical difficulties all four missions are now published and a semblance of navigability has been established. It is somewhat clunky and requires some goodwill from the reader.
I deleted the previous mission links, they turned out to not work as intended. The link below will lead you to the first page of the blog and instructions on how to access and navigate the posts as the "Newer" and "Older posts" get confused on occasions (they do work within each mission, progressing from one mission to another sometimes works, others doesn't).

Hello all

As the post's subject reports, AAR for the first mission of the campaign is published as of 2024-08-15 12:00 UTC.

The link in the opening post is still the best way to access it. It will take you to the "front page" of the blog and there you'll need to select a "label"/"tag" either for the "Pearl Harbor" mission (posts appear in reverse order) or preferably "First post" (lists the first post for every mission, in reverse order).

Comments, suggestions, tips and tricks are most welcome.
