Title: Starting a new Campaign...meet the troops of 12 Platoon
Post by: Grey Panda on May 30, 2014, 08:16:50 AM

I'm starting a new campaign tomorrow using Chain of Command's Campaign supplement:

Here's an indroduction to the British combatants! Thought it might be more interesting if you knew the guys first...

An ex-friend said the pictures looked like "mug shots of a squad of paedaphiles"  :'(  ..."ex" friend  ;)

Go easy they were hard to make... most of them on I needed to redo they kept ending up looking like goofy

Anyway should have the first AAR in the next couple of days

Any feedback is welcome...unless your attacking my artwork  >:D

Looks just excellent. Your terrain is top notch! What minis are you using?

With such good photofits, no wonder they all ended up in court and were offered 'the army or jail time'.  :D

I really like how you've gone about setting up your campaign... It's how I'd like to do it, but never seem to find the time. I'm all for characterising (rather than caricaturing) in games, which is why I like 'platoon-level' wargames myself. Top job there!

:)

"With such good photofits, no wonder they all ended up in court and were offered 'the army or jail time'."

 lol…yes I confess they do resemble a bunch of crooks and convicts but in my defence the program I used was very limited … what's that saying about the workman blaming his tools  ;)

I have so little time myself between a young family and work but I find the time invested makes the game so much more enjoyable when I do get to play. Most of my games recently are solo efforts so its nice to have a little more detail. Was hoping to have played the first game already but unfortunately didn't find the time yesterday in the end… Thanks for the kind comments
