CoC Malaya 1942 campaign

[TacticalPainter]

Time for another Chain of Command pint-sized campaign. This time we venture to the Far East for the Malaya 1942 campaign from the 2015 Christmas Special and a chance to use my Australians and Japanese, who've only had one outing since they were painted.  I'm attacking as the Japanese in this one and there's a few unique characteristics to adjust to.  This is the first scenario, a patrol encounter in the jungle.  After playing the defender in The Road to Bremen its my turn to attack, this time with the Japanese. The first AAR is here https://thetacticalpainter.blogspot.com/2018/08/malaya-1942-scenario-1-winning-encounter.html

I hav,nt played CoCommand for a couple of years , but a good report like this makes me want to game it again. I like the way you,ve included your thinking , at each stage , as the game unfolds.  The Aussies pulling back , in good order , is the mark of a campaign game working well .   😎✔️✔️

I’ll try and ignore the spoiler in Belasarius’ post....!🤭😳

We reach the second scenario, a probe game with the Japanese trying to find a way past the Australian outposts and through to the main defensive positions. The Australians have to find a way of holding back the Japanese and yet avoid too many casualties, which makes for a finely balanced campaign.

Great looking game. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with rice paddies in that size and shape...

Great report.  After reading all your AARs, I really want to try out a game of CoC.

Thanks, I have plans to work up some more paddies and will try to make some that are in-season, which will test my skills at creating water effects.

Thanks, not that I'm biased or anything but I really would recommend you give CoC a try.  It's not only a great gaming experience but has a very good feel for tactical level WWII.  It just feels 'right' if that makes any sense.

A few coats of gloss varnish, or one of the 'Water Effects' liquids that you can get , eg from Woodland Scenics https://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/category/Water will do the trick. It's what I used.
