Ufff! No summer break at Lard Island this year. If last week we had the Winter Storm campaign pack, today a new short (a 13-pager) but exciting publication (available for free download) that allows to play larger battles (more than 1 platoon per side) and to field armoured forces with Chain of Command.
I've just skipped through it and to my relief the core of the system remains unchanged and you only need to make some small tweaks and adaptations to play. Very timely for my gaming group, who was already discussing and testing how to put more tanks on a table looking into our second campaign in Africa.
PS: These days is Chain of Command's first anniversary. Reviewing my wargaming activity over the last 12 months in the blog, I've just realized that 99% of my games have been with Chain of Command and no signs of exhaustion yet, neither me, nor anybody of my gaming group.... on the contrary, everyday more excited... and facing September with a full pipeline of new games/campaigns: Spanish Civil War, a second Afrika CoC campaign, Villers Bocage and Winter Storm scheduled for Christmas/early 2015.
Downloaded, to be read with interest!
ReplyDeleteI used my lunch brak to go through it.... Oh, oh!! Elegant, simple and efficient ,mechanism... another masterpiece of Richard Clarke...
DeleteThank you for noting the Big Battles download, Benito - I haven't been following TFL too closely lately so your post was very helpful to me. I would suggest that the success of CoC this last year is in no small part thanks to enthusiasts such as yourself and your friends - you've done so much to show us all what a great rules set this is.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Many thanks for the compliment. The truth is that if there's no quality in the product, there's no love and hence no enthusiasm. CoC is been a revelation for my gaming group
DeleteAnother great news!!! Thank you a lot.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is a nice little add on for CoC. I know the Fawcett Ave Conscripts are playing a what-if Cold War Gone Hot game this week using the new rules (1985 Soviets hitting a Canadian blocking force in Germany). I look forward to seeing how it unfolds.
