Title: Chain of Command France May 1940 (new game added 22 July)
Post by: TWD on June 06, 2021, 06:47:12 PM

I got together with Martin for a face-to-face game of Chain of Command using the Blitzkrieg supplement.
I took 1939 British and he took second wave Germans.
We played the Attack and Derfend scenario from the main rulebook.

Much fun was had as we re-familiarised ourselves with the rules.

Great terrain - a very pastoral feel to it.  Well, except for the gunfire, explosions, and men and vehicles milling about... :D

Speaking of men and vehicles, they look great too!

Don't blame you for taking lots of pics of the terrain in the second game- looks great!
I read and enjoyed both your game reports.

Thanks all.
Terrain has been a joint effort, though I think there is more of Martin's work then mine...

We're intending to play through the "Fighting Withdrawal" Campaign from the TFL Summer Special.
Just giving the Covid a bit more chance to die down before we crack on.
