Chain of Command AAR France 1940 Action at Stonne

[TacticalPainter]

My regular opponent Dave has been busy putting together early war forces for France 1940 and this was our first time using them and playing anything from this early in the war. A very different feel from late war, not least because armour has a bit more freedom to roam without the constant threat of panzerfausts, PIATs or bazookas. Some interesting command challenges with the more cumbersome four squad platoons, particularly for the French but overall very enjoyable and we will certainly be playing more. A full AAR here https://thetacticalpainter.blogspot.com/2018/08/chain-of-command-aar-action-at-stonne.html

Great looking game

Very nice set up.

Cracking set up - great photos. I think the  early War period is becoming more popular and agree about the  freedom of armour without lots of anti tank weapons. 👍

That is a lovely table. I can't wait to get my French finished. Early war gets my vote

I recommend everyone read the blog entry - great report of a very rewarding game.

+1 to the advice 'Read the Blog battle report'
Excellent: scenery, troops & report.

Excellent AAR as usual. I must delve in your blog and find some reports where you are attacking with the Germans instead of offering a resolute defence.

Thanks Doug, glad you enjoyed it. I do enjoy playing the defender, but if you want to follow me playing Germans on the offensive then there are the AARs of the Kursk based Storming the Citadel campaign here http://thetacticalpainter.blogspot.com/p/chain-of-command-campaign-aars.html
