Chain of Command

[Ithoriel]

i am a big fan of Crossfire...Do you think it might be as good...Crossfire needs an umpire to run properly..Would CoC do you think need an umpire

Not only do I not think it would need an umpire but based on my experience this evening I'd say it plays reasonably well solo - the die rolls mean you never quite know what your "opponent" is going to do

[Shecky]

I think CoC would work well without an umpire. CoC's cousin, I Ain't Been Shot Mum, worked best with an umpire who could arbitrate if a shot was poor, ok or great. CoC does away with that as everything is either in open, light or hard cover.

I have been thinking about doing this is 54mm...Is that weird?

[Wulf]

Well, they say it's designed for a 6'x4' table at 25/28mm scale, and for 10mm scale use cm instead of inches...

...so at 54mm...

12' x 8' table? Or maybe the floor of the ballroom at Fenton Mansions? No problem I'm sure.

I believe the next scale up from that is taking 30 of your friends paintballing

Well after reading some posts on the TFL yahoo group Rich advised to keep the same ranges and movement rates

Unless you have an aircraft hangar available that's probably best

having had a good read through CoC, and a quick read through 'Bolt Action' (second hand from Amazon), I find CoC the easier read even though it seems to assume more prior knowledge of the subject than CoC. BA is really heavily broken up by chapters and loads and loads of illustrations (not surprising, I know, being partly out of Osprey, but it is a bit heavy handed...)

Doing anything with 54mm is weird.  Especially if it's not wargaming.

Ground scale is 1:120, so 10-20mm all should fit fine.  15mm is just about bang on.

Wulf think you needed a BA not CoC in there mate!

I'm playing Sunjester Wednesday, but I may and get SWMBO to agree me and the Kid playing this weekend on the dining room table - I'm desperate to try them.  The mechanics look so good.  What I like is that you can do ahistoric stuff, but prepare to be punished. Not because of any special rule, but that it becomes difficult to control your forces if you break the chain of comm... ah I get it now.

We DO ! (well the top floor of one, sometimes).

Not quite a batrep, but a series of thoughts on my first bash at these.

A very enjoyable use of a Sunday afternoon indeed

Who are you calling a TART

I resemble that remark...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Tart au citron, yummy!

[Wulf]

One thing's for sure, it's got the most active & responsive Yahoo mail group I ever saw, over 100 messages per day since the release...

[Fenton]

Looking forward to having a go at these rules

[ronan]

I didn't have time to play !!!!        
( I've read it twice, and I think I will like it.)
