Very nice looking game and good to see the Republicans getting a win for a change. How did you get on with BA for SCW?

OK, although we used the rules straight from the tin for this game, so no particular SCW flavour. I will probably add some event cards for future games like I have for the Great War but with a SCW slant. For a more "historical" game, Chain of Command may be the way to go. Check out Arlequin s blog for an excellent post on adapting BA for SCW.

Thanks, your cheque's in the post. 

As always though a great looking game! 

Despite my championing CoC for SCW, I still have some love to share for BA, especially if you see it as an abstract game and think of your 'squads' as being platoons (or half platoons in the case of SCW)... a bit like how Rapid Fire and Cross Fire work. That way the expandable unit sizes, 40K weapon ranges and all the rest makes far more sense.

The other option available of course is to use the Chain of Command army lists and create units based solely on those historical organisations. That way you will at least have the force sizes and leader allocations in the right proportions....so you can enjoy BA with complete army lists that match the game which is more or less pitched at a similar scale.
