Chain of Command First Play AAR
« on: May 28, 2019, 05:58:22 PM »
On Sunday we played our first game of Chain of Command, we really enjoyed it and I am looking forward to playing it again soon. Check out the full AAR on my blog here:

Enjoyed reading your AAR. Nice  interesting layout with plenty of tactical cover. Your infantry combats seemed more brutal and decisive than some other CoC games I have read on here.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Cheers buddy, I'm glad you enjoyed it. No guts, no glory and all that. I guess we were trying out most of the main rules so it felt right to do a couple of assaults when the opportunity arose. Maybe I was mis-playing the rules somewhere slightly, but another game will see if we were!

Bit hard to tell with the assaults in an AAR - usually. unless your opponent is pinned or severely damaged before your assault, it is a Pyrrhic victory  lol

Did you encounter any difficulty using multi-figure bases? I've wanted to try CoC but everything I have is based for Crossfire (mostly 3 figures on a 30mm-square base).

Thanks!

I went to CoC from Crossfire and started using my three figs to a base Crossfire miniatures. It works just fine in my opinion, you just need to find a convenient way to track casualties. Unfortunately not all platoons or squads are divisible by three, so I made up some individually based figures to make up odd numbers and to use as ‘loose change’. That worked very well. As I found CoC was becoming my key set of WWII rules as I built new platoons I based the figures individually and even rebased some Crossfire figures to single bases. I still play the odd game of Crossfire so I still have a few companies of miniatures on multiple bases, but no reason why you can’t use these for CoC.
