Chain of Command with the Perry Twins
« on: December 17, 2013, 11:17:27 AM »
I had a smashing day out a couple of weekends ago when I was invited up to Nottingham to the home of Michael Perry to run a game of Chain of Command. 

A brief report of this fun day can be found here on Lard Island News:

A most enjoyable day with a bunch of great lads.  Most enjoyable.

Flags - we used the 1941 Afrika Korps Army list to get the Panzer IIIs

DM - It was one of those games where we were so wrapped up in the play that I just didn't get as many pictures as I'd have liked.  Fear not, I will be running some desert games over the next week, so will post some here with shots of the figures.

Well that looks like an awesome day!

Did you convince them to sell CoC through their shop?  ;)

More and more when I see CoC, I am thinking of trying it. BA is just not historical - it's a game, and could just as easily played with Space Marines.  o_o

Nice AAR - the table speaks for itself  :)

I have also discovered CoC now. I prefer a sensible nod towards history even if we are grown men playing with toy soldiers ...

I'm all out of boob jokes but it looks like a super game.  Very interesting to see a table of that size so thinly populated with soldiers - quite realistic methinks.  A Bolt Action game of those dimensions could take some time until everyone got in range...
