Chain of Command

[TinyTerrain]

Hi,

I dont know how many of you have seen the info on the forthcomming Too Fat Lardies WW2 Skirmish rules "Chain of Command" but I think they look a bit good 

I ve done a quick overview with a few links to overview videos and podcasts on my blog:

Sounds interesting Craig so will have plenty of time to chat about this on Sunday.

Very impressed with what I've seen so I've put a report on my Blog:

I've been watching this one with interest as have club mates as the next set of WW2 Skirmish worth having.

Very impressed with what we have seen so far and personally I'll be looking to use these for 'proper' WW2 skirmish and still using Bolt Action for hollywood-esque type WW2 games.

I'm one of the play-testing group and I can say it's absolutely first class.

Will be running a demonstration of the game at Wappinshaw in Glasgow on June 1st.

I'm envious Derek!

Hello
May be it's because english is not my native language, but I really don't like videos for new products. ( in our hobby, or even worse for professionals products I have to learn.)
I prefer to read, while drinking coffee/beer, listening to my jazz radio.

Is it just me ? 

[Derek H]

Is it just me ? 

Probably.  Most people talking about the videos seem to have liked them and found them useful.

[Steve J]

I found the videos really, really useful. I can see how the game plays and whether it is the sort of game I would enjoy playing, which in this case it is. Too often I have bought rulesets that people have raved about, only to be disappointed in them (Force-on-Force a prime example). This way I'm unlikely to shell out my hard earned cash only to regret it later.

I was lucky enough to spend an hour with the Lardies at Salute watching this being and it was brilliant. Ive been looking for a skrimish game for WW2 (I have some nice Artizan US Airborne all painted up) as nothing has really done it for me to date- we bought Rules of Engagement when it first came out, and while its OK its never really grabbed me.

[Steve J]

RoE was good, bit after a while a bit too predicatable. I like the friction that their command system generates with this rule set.

A new game played by the Lardie boys today can be found on their Blog:

To me this confirms that the rules are really good and can't wait to get my grubby mits on them .

I'm happy this is a written AAR ! 
and a good one.

I got to play at the Lardie Day in Scotland and loved it, another Club member was also wowed and we have both pre-ordered. I have been reading about Normandy recently and was stuck by how few casualties seem to have been incurred prior to a unit halting/retiring compared to games I have played. Even the HJ was, it seems, at about 60% and LAH at 77% in manpower terms after Falaise. Clearly vehicle losses were almost total and replacements had been received, but it set me wondering. And then I read the game report for yesterday with the Germans pulling back defeated but without being devastated and I thought - Eureka, that's it!

I am now eagerly awaiting my copy and dusting off figures for it.
