Chain of Command SCW

[Arlequín]

Infamous at last! It's a bumper fun-packed bundle, all for the cost of most wargames magazines!! 

By the way... if anyone notices an 'off' instead of an 'of' it's HW's fault.     

Although to be fair he deserves a medal for putting up with my pedantry, repeatedly mucking document formats up and other assorted idiosyncrasies of mine he's experienced recently.

Arlequin - i would be insterested in your thoughts chap on how to tone down tanks for the SCW. I have a Panzer 1 and the Soviet BA-10 (or the Spanish equivalent) as well as a Bilbao.

Obviously I can't reprint the article, but essentially it's all about not treating them as WW2 tanks with all their bells and whistles, but as mobile 'weapons teams' trying to multi-task in essence. A bit cryptic, but it will make more sense when you have your rules in hand on Christmas Day... I narrowly avoided an earthy abbreviation-pun there btw.

Thanks. I'll probably pick up the Special anyway

[EDIT: infamy infamy (insert Carry-On gag) - you talked me into it. Bought and printed off chap]

Cheers

Just bought it and it has some lists on it but only had a quick skim over it

They will be going up on Lard Island News over the next few weeks.

They are done and they are just being prettied up for presentation. There are no new rules to learn (other than is the case with any army list so far), the 'rule book' is unchanged, but it is not a case of playing WW2 with SCW figures either, so prepare to be challenged!

Así será el beso de la muerte para ellos, as they say in places where they don't speak Spanish very well.

Excellent - thanks fella

I have to admit I often wonder what other nations do for invented English names, or might it be better had I not asked?  

[Mr. Peabody]

OMG... That's so wacky it's totally brilliant.
My eyes wide senseless, golden diesel. Alright yo.

This mod fights fire with fire when things go off-topic, so unless you want excerpts from Bulgarian Pop-idol, or Cheesy international 1960s TV ads, twead wery wery carefulwy!

Even so, I had to watch it twice...

[Mr. Peabody]

So. Very impressed with the Christmas Special and strongly tempted to invest in those lovely new 20mm Minairons SCW figures.

Do not give in to the Dark Side!    (*)

I know I did......be it in 28mm..

[Arlequín]

There is no 'dark side' to SCW gaming. Whatever scale you choose to play it in is good. Although to get the best from it you should play in 28mm, 20mm, 15mm and 10mm, just so you know you're not missing out.

Aaaaaarrgh… the murder of Federico Garcia Lorca, and of Andres Nin (although by opposing sides), certainly was a "dark side" of the SCW!

OOooops sorry, back to gaming.
