The Road to Bremen Chain of Command campaign

[Baron von Wreckedoften]

I have really enjoyed reading your battle reports, right from game 1.

When will you be playing your final game?

Sorry Doug,
I was the one who let the cat out of the bag.
I have now changed my post.
Again sorry for spoiling the ending.

No problem, sir. Your first response was immediate and enthusiastic and I don’t blame you for that😊. Bring on the final instalment.

Thanks, it was great to use all those ruined buildings again.  Hopefully I can use them again when TFL publish the Stalingrad campaign.

It’s going to get tough for my Fallschirmjager, I can only hope I might be lucky with my reinforcement roll before the next game, I’m going to need all the help I can get.  I have yet to succeed in holding off the British for two consecutive games, so at this rate we are heading towards a campaign draw, if I can just manage to squeeze out a victory in this coming game it will be enough for campaign victory no matter what little forces I have remaining to fight out the 10th game.

Can't wait for the Stalingrad campaign...I think it may well prove to be rather epic!!!  The current campaign is truly nail-biting stuff....looking forward to the end of this one and the next!

The battle over the bombed out ruins of Bremen continues as the Fallschirmjager desperately try to hold out for another campaign turn. They've done enough to deny the British campaign victory, but can they hold on for one more game and bring this to a minor German victory? It's a big ask, it is April 1945 after all…..

Another exciting battle.
Thanks for sharing.

What a finish! I have enjoyed this whole mini campaign so much.

Glad you enjoyed it.  Probably the most enjoyable of the campaigns I’ve played so far.  The Germans have a colourful and unpredictable order of battle and a lot of scope for creative thinking when it comes to constructing a defence.  I love playing this ‘backs to the wall’ stuff and the campaign certainly delivered for me.

Great report again.  This highlights the one thing I am not so keen on in CoC - the mortar barrage.  Having it as some precision guided artillery moving a few yards at a time is really unrealistic.

Is it? I always thought that in the hands of skilled teams mortars can be highly accurate.

Vodkafan. In our most recent AK47 game every single one of my mortars fired every move for the entire game & hit....nothing.
There were only two of them & they were poor quality militia, but NOTHING, omg!!!!!

Tense nail-biting stuff to the very end! Magnificently played in the proper spirit!

Thank you for sharing your efforts....truly inspirational stuff!
