BatRepīs - CoC on Sicily 1943

[Utgaard]

Thank you guys 

Not familiar with this idea of "Big CoC"?
As it is a Platoon level game with supports I didn't think you could have a whole tank Platoon. Can you explain it a bit for me?

There is a free supplement available with the Lardies to expand CoC to multi platoon level, mostly intended for multiplayer games.
So you can play with additional infantry platoons per side but field a tank troop too instead - the supplement provides the math to calculate different tank troops/platoons ranging from 3 to 5 tanks, like their historical counterparts.

That's cool

Last Saturday was not only another game of Big Chain of Command with Bernhard and Max, but it was also the last big test for TaToCon to see if our line-ups including the fixed support work and if the terrain fits.

Max and me will be presenting CoC on 28 September at TaToCon, a nice smaller convention in Puchheim (near Munich), and of course hope to encourage people to play along with us.

A platoon of US Airborne, supported by a squad of three M5 Stuarts against a platoon of Bersaglieri in combination with a squad of 3 M13/40 tanks, setting Sicily 1943.

The Italian Bersaglieri were able to skilfully outmanoeuvre the Americans and isolate one of the two Airborne squads, which could not withstand the concentrated fire of three enemy squads for long.
Its remaining remnants finally had to flee and after the supporting HMG team was also eliminated, the morale of the paratroopers finally collapsed.

And some random shots from the game:

Bummer for the US Airborne guys.  It all looks good, though!
