After seemingly years of talking about Chain of Command, we will finally be giving the rules a trial on NOV 7. Scott is developing the scenario and leading the pack through the rules. Since I will be hosting the game, Scott sent his scenario map from which to lay out the gaming table.

Pretty close but I see now that the orchard could be extended bit.
All we know of the scenario thus far, is,
The scenario will be an advance by an 29th Division infantry platoon against scattered German resistance.Looking forward to Saturday's game.
I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of it.
ReplyDeleteI will let you know my impressions.
DeleteChain of Command is an excellent set of rules. My gaming group and me have been playig now more than 2 years in a row without showing any sign of exhaustation.
ReplyDeleteI recommend to start with infantry only, then add some supports like artillery off-board, etc and finally introduce the tanks and vehicles.
I reckon that map from the "29 Let's Go!" supplement... a hard one for the US player (I tell you first hand)
Yes, that's the source of the map and the scenario. I did not come up with either!
DeleteI have been following your CoC exploits with great interest for some time. Especially enjoyed your SCW games.
DeleteDon(t know about the rules, but this terrain (and map!) is great, love the colors...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil!
Deleteum..mmm...interesting... looking forward to your report Jon!
ReplyDeletecheers,
I am looking forward to trying out the system too.
DeleteIf this game is successful, I have my own Germans and Brits waiting on deck for games too.
I've just played my third game of CoC last week - will look forward to your opinion Jon! My reference point was earlier games of Bolt Action and Battlegroup Kursk - I think its safe to say CoC is the winner in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteFrom BatReps I have read and reviews, CoC looks to be a set of low level rules that would be of great interest to me.
DeleteI almost certainly will provide an opinion!
Sweet! I second Anibal and BP. BA is a fun game but CoC presses you in ways that BA does not.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to giving CoC a try!
DeleteNice looking table and terrain!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it!
DeleteI'm really interested in this one. Although if you guys really get into it, I may need to resist yet another 28mm conversion.
ReplyDeleteJake, if you are free on Saturday, join in!
DeleteThe Boy has a kyu test that day. Perhaps next time.
DeleteBeautiful table. Shame to sully bit with all that "khaki", though. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter. I prefer less drab periods too but I am looking forward to a new system and interesting tactical problems to tackle.
DeleteGood looking table Jonathan. I really do need to try these rules someday.

Thank you, Christopher. I have been waiting a long time to give CoC a try too.
