Chain of Command

Ronan, nice report and good pictures.

It looks like you had a good game even with fairly small forces.

I wouldn't post pics of our games at the moment since they consist of Wehrmacht Space Marines taking on Soviet Eldar    We are however having a lot of fun with them despite the lack of historically accurate figures!

Cool - glad to see someone else using 10mm.

We have played two games so far, with 10mm - we used inches, because we are lazy! 2cm to the inch, is 24cm to 40 yards, 24cm to 3658cm, which is 1:152 scale - which is pretty much spot on 10mm ground scale. Might have to think about using this now...

The first game we used multi-based figures - a single 50x30mm base with 6 infantry for the rifle team, and a smaller base with 3 on for LMGs, leaders were single based on washers.
But I have been busy rebasing infantry into 2 figures on 30x15mm bases, so that the troops spread out more.

I too will be using 10mm, starting off with Brits and Germans. The plan is to base the figures on 1p and 2p coins, with ATGs etc on small bases.

I now have about 6 foot of hedges, 6 foot of walls, 6 foot of fences and about 2 dozen buildings (actually 1 dozen , with whole & ruined versions, thanks to paperterrain.com). I have all the minis I need for a heavily reinforced platoon of plucky Brits and another of the Jerry fit for France in 1940 (all unpainted, sadly...) Biggest problem at present is that my hedges keep falling apart... I need more practice making clump foliage hedges, it seems, but it's cheap enough...

I managed to grab 2 games of CoC at the weekend, 1 solo (purely infantry to get a grip of the mechanics ) and 1 with my son (including some support options). An AAR/thoughts/review will follow on my blog later tonight or tommorrow.

In the meantime, I ve managed to paint my entire US Para Platoon (33 minis) in under 3 hours! Just rifles to paint and a quick basing and their done. IT WILL BE RECORD FOR ME..............UNDER 4 HOURS FROM BARE METAL TO FINISHED PLATOON. I know many will say its th wrong scale for them.......but they were kicking aroung in my bits box so were free!



Take a look at the link below for detailsof the method used:

That's great !
3 Hours... 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Three hours! That's Nik level speed!  great figures btw!

[Steve J]

Well done Craig . They should look the dogs b*ll*cks when the bases are done.

[Techno]

3 Hours to paint all those  

I'm so slow at painting I sometimes think I can almost sculpt faster than I can paint !
Those look great Craig !
Cheers - Phil

[Fenton]

I am impressed!

WH40CoC: sounds cool to me, but then for me the game is more important than the pieces used 

I'd shamelessly game with naked lead - probably!

Fab Craig, truly Fab...

I think there is inspiration there for my 10mm SCW collection which is gathering dust. I've got a free weekend coming up I will have to see what I can churn out...

[Steve J]

I'm planning on Coc SCW as well with all my spare odds'n'sods. Should make for nice and colourful forces .

[Nosher]

And it looks like someone has expended some effort on SCW lists which are at the draft stage...

I'm working on a RM Commando list for 44 which is close to completion. Like all lists needs a bit of playtesting and hopefully some support from the CoC rulesmeister in determining the Platoon Force Rating and support lists

[Steve J]

The Balagan website has lots of useful info on the SCW, so will check this out later. Looking forward to the draft SCW lists that I will also use as a basis for my AVBCW forces using CoC for small scale actions.
