Title: Storming the Citadel Chain of Command
Post by: TacticalPainter on 09 November 2017, 03:24:36 AM: I've been lurking on the forum for a while, but this is my first post. I've been playing a lot of Chain of Command lately and particularly their rather tasty pint-sized campaigns. Dave, my regular opponent, and I are mid-way through one of the more recent campaigns Storming the Citadel, featuring Grossdeutchland at Kursk (a grunt's eye view!). I've been compiling all the AARs and related posts in my blog here Storming the Citadel Campaign AAR (https://thetacticalpainter.blogspot.com.au/2017/11/storming-citadel-campaign-aars.html)

Our most recent game is posted here Scenario 4 Hold the Line (https://thetacticalpainter.blogspot.com.au/2017/11/storming-citadel-scenario-4-hold-line.html)

So far honours are about even and it's quite a contrast from our last campaign Kampfgruppe Von Luck, set in Normandy. Here are some pictures from several of the games and some of the terrain making posts:

Post by: TacticalPainter on 11 November 2017, 01:22:54 AM: Thanks everyone, glad you are enjoying the campaign. I'm finding writing the AARs a great way to reflect on the scenario and my tactics (or lack of them!). I'm finding CoC a great system and if these AARs can help others discover the same thing for themselves then they are worth the effort.

Post by: LordSpode1879 on 11 November 2017, 09:02:31 AM: Been playing Chain of Command for a little while now .....awesome system that rewards period tactics. For me though what elevates it above so many other sets is the campaign element! The pintsize campaigns offered by the Lardies really bring to life those small actions upon which great battles turn.
