I prefer campaign game, but we had the opportunity to play, so we did !  ;)

Nice to see it played in 10mm, which is on my list of things to do.

"Merci de m'avoir lu ! Thank you for reading !"

Au contraire, je vous remercie pour l'écrire!

Fun game and a nice report.

An interesting report, we are looking forward to a test game of Chain of Command after our ANZAC day game

Ronan,

Fantastic game, thanks for posting.  I absolutely love your barbed wire (the posts with the wire across the top), I need to make some myself.

Now, I don't want to say this, but I feel I must: I'm pretty sure I've read all your battle reports (posted to your blog).  You are definitely on a bad streak!  You need to get all your dice , execute half of them, then throw the other half in prison!  Bring new ones in and show them their predecessors!  :D

V/R,
Jack

CoC works really well in 10mm. And gathering a force is cheap as chips too. Ive got pretty much three SCW forces with loads of options for lesd than £80

Nice report - we've played a fair few games of CoC in 10mm and it it seems to work very well.

The US Airborne are very tough - we played them against Green Germans, and it was a walk over for the Airborne - they could just walk up and shoot the Germans to pieces.

Thank you guys !

Yes, I like CoC in 10mm, the firing ranges seem "real".

You're right Jack, dice hate me  :o

You may say this, I agree !  ;D
For the end of my Stalingrad campaign, I had to test who survived, and threw 1D6. I got not so good results, with too many 1s and 2s .. That's the game..
But several minutes ago, I take the same die, and throw it 62 times ( why 62 .. err... because .. just because .. ;) )
This is the result :

Yeah man, stop practicing!  :D

I just started the invasion of France, I'll try to get it posted tomorrow.

The Germans won, but I think you'll be very proud of your French compatriots.  ;)
