Marine,
thank you!
I bought Sharpe Practice just yesterday!
Now I have to read it.
I don't like card activation, so before Chain of Command I was not fond of TFL rules.
But IMHO Chain of Command sets a new level on WW2 skirmish.
Yes, I lost a battle because of a couple of lucky rolls of my - skilled - opponent but hey! this is a REALISTIC skirmish, so let be prepared.
Otherwise I would have played with other rules, or other periods, that grant a battle without any "coup de theatre"!
Ciao
Marco
