After waiting for FOF for WW2 for longer than... WW2? I gave up and started looking at what was on offer. After reading rules and watching some videos I decided to give Chain of Command a go. Only problem was finding someone who was keen to play Historical in the domain of fantasy and SF. I made the mistake of going 28mm, and set about replacing all my terrain. Time passed.
And then someone showed interest. We played our first game of CoC. I was impressed, it gives a good flavour, gives you lots of hard choices, and has lots of support with campaigns, so no fear of powergaming.
Even the patrol phase was tense and fun. Here are a few pics from our game. We made lots of mistakes, rule wise and tactically. Like, I ended up dividing two of my gruppe before I realised the cost.
 |
| The Fallschirmjaeger get an order to run as far as possible to the corner, and end up running way to far. |
 |
| Germans and US Paratroopers engage amongst the hedges on the east edge of St. Du Mont. |
 |
| The elite US pour on the hurt. |
 |
| The bocage in the distance becomes a pain, splitting up a squad of Germans and making it difficult to move. |
A very good game was had.
